Catalan LoCo Team celebrated Ubuntu Global Jam thanks to the folks over at Centre Democràtic i Progressista in Caldes de Montbui, near Barcelona, who kindly offered us their great space to meet up and work, despite in August the venue was officially closed. 10 people turned up over the day and we worked on different areas and helped one another.
I worked on wiki parts, Alex managed to figure out calendars on the wiki and explained bazaar to the audience, Josep toke photos and the others worked on translations as long as the tiny internet connexion worked for all os us. After our pizza lunch, apparently official UGJ lunch, we discussed community matters and relations with Canonical with David Planella.

I’m an Ubuntu user in Barcelona and would have loved to be there… BUT this was too far. I suggest next time Catalunya LoCo can do it in the big apple
(I assure you there would be more than 10 people if they did).
Hello Issac. We tried to find a place in Barcelona in August and it was impossible, in Caldes the venue was opened for us and for free. Unfortunately, in Barcelona and surroundings is becoming more and more difficult to find a place to do anything without paying money. So if you know some good place, please tell me.
Awesome report, Rafael!
