“Canonical and the Ubuntu community are busy polishing
Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx), a major upgrade set to debut in April
2010. But before the new Linux distribution arrives, the Ubuntu
community will host an Ubuntu Global Jam from March 26 to March 28.
The big questions: Will customers also join in the Jam? Should
they?

“For those on the outside looking in, the Ubuntu Global Jam
organizes contributors and fans of the operating system to help
find and kill Ubuntu 10.04 software bugs; test the new operating
system release; upgrade to Lucid Lynx and report on the experience;
write documentation; translate and localize Ubuntu for key
geographies; and enhance the Ubuntu packaging.”
