[Ubuntu-US-CA] Fwd: Invitation to participate in the Ubuntu Global Jam

[Terry Hollowell]

Hi David

I was wondering about the itinerary for the global jam. I guess what I'm
really wondering is if we have to be pros to attend? I'm a newbie and would
love to help but am not very good at "bugs or debugging" for example.

Thanks

terry
