Re: [Fsuk-manchester] Any folks in Manchester interested in participating in an Ubuntu Global Jam event if I were to organise one?

Hi Simon!

But they wouldn't/shouldn't write about it in this group.

I think I need to clarify my point. It might have come across the wrong 
way.

I love Free Software. But I also love Ubuntu (not Unity, not Canonical). 
I've learned that it is okay to talk about/promote Debian but not 
Ubuntu. That is useful knowledge and there is no way that you can learn 
this from the wiki page. It might be worth clarifying actually.

Maybe I should not have used 'open for people' in my post but 'open for 
topics'?
