[...] In the last few cycles we have organized and run an event called the Ubuntu Global Bug Jam. The idea simple: encourage our awesome global Ubuntu community to get together in the same room to find, triage and fix bugs. And they did, all over the world, as can be seen here. [...]

David,

You can query launchpad for bugs with patches attached, current upstream bug linkages are tracked here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+upstreamreport

The raw mboxes are here if you want to run your own analysis: http://people.ubuntu.com/~listarchive/ubuntu-bugs/

In the words of our beloved Jorge:

A W E S O M E ! ! !

Chicago had a bunch of first timers, and when I say first timers, out of the 30 or so in rotation, Nathan, Jim, and I were probably the only ones who had spent any time triaging and fixing bugs in the past. So Nathan, Jim, and I, spent time fixing bugs while the rest of the group got into the swing of things by triaging. Before you knew it, some of the new people went from triaging right into fixing bugs. Pretty cool! Our location was awesome. The company was Centro and they let us use their space like it was our own office.

We are probably going to start doing this more often, as everyone who showed up had a blast and stated they wanted to do it more. We shall see what the future holds.

Thank you to everyone who participated!

WOW ! this is really neat I didn’t realize there were two such events so close to me. Probably because I dont use Ubuntu. The community end of Ubuntu really does push the limits when coming to events like this. Excellent work all !

There is something insanely cool about so many randomly distributed people coming together for the International Ubuntu Conspiracy.

If that eee didn’t subsequently fall to the ground, I no longer trust the laws of physics.

While the pictures of geeks with laptops are nice what I am really interested in is. Where do I find, when relevant, a list of bugs handled. Including a list of bugs filed upstream with patches or a list of upstream check-ins to reflect this work affecting the FLOSS world?
