Yes, I know about it, I was at the UDS meeting where this was being
drawn up and I argued for it to be called 'Global Jam' instead of 'Bug
Jam'. So it's all good.

The reason we're not doing anything for the Global Jam is because I'm
fully booked with two classrooms, course materials, community center
navigation, meeting organisation and programming.

I need members of the LoCo to pull their weight when it comes to
organising and pulling off successful events. If you think you can
dedicate the required time and responsibly towards organising this or
other events, do jump right in at one of our meetings (next one on the
30th this month) and I will back you with all the resources required to
pull it off.

We're discussing involving ourselves with other events such as Sci-Fi
events too. This mitigates some of the organisational apathy in the
group as we don't need to create and set-up our own events, just attend
existing ones.

Thoughts?
