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.
