[[!meta title="2009 Ubuntu Global Jam"]] On the weekend of October 3-5, 2009, Ubuntu will be holding the [Ubuntu Global Jam](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam), a world-wide event where community members to come together and make Ubuntu better. Given the reliance of [many](http://debathena.mit.edu) [SIPB](http://xvm.mit.edu) [services](http://scripts.mit.edu) on Ubuntu, we are thrilled to be a part of this undertaking. SIPB will be sponsoring a local jam on Saturday, October 3rd in 32-144, open to anybody, but especially to the MIT community. We'll have many of our own Debian and Ubuntu experts on hand, but you don't need to be an expert! This event is targeted at making sure people of all skills can contribute. Since this is a SIPB hackathon, we will be providing snacks and subsidizing dinner. So if you've ever wanted to learn more about how the Ubuntu development process or Ubuntu itself works, this is a great opportunity. ## The Details What: Ubuntu Global Jam
