Nice! 🙂

You can see the [full list of events](https://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/567/detail/), and I would like to encourage all of you to organize an event near you! For help on organizing a jam event, see [this guide](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Jams) and be sure to add it to [loco.ubuntu.com](https://loco.ubuntu.com/) by using [this page](https://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/add/?global_event_id=567) (remember, to add an event you must be a member of that LoCo team in Launchpad).

If you have any questions, be sure to [join #ubuntu-locoteams on freenode IRC!](https://loco.ubuntu.com/irc/)

Finally, I discussed the Ubuntu Global Jam and how to organize an event, and why this Global Jam is particularly important at the beginning of [today’s videocast](https://www.ustream.tv/recorded/12734895). Check it out! 🙂
