The Ubuntu Global Jam (Precise Pangolin edition) begins in less than one week: Friday March 2nd 2012.
We have Jams organized all over the world. But how many? Let's see what that now infamous Jam-o-Meter has to say:
Jam-o-Meter!
We're now up to 22 Ubuntu LoCo teams participating in 16 countries. Hmm...
Do you live in a large city? Do we have your event on the awesome Ubuntu Loco Directory?
Today's list of large North American cities that really should have an Ubuntu Global Jam but do not are:
Toronto
Chicago
San Francisco
Montreal
New York City
Los Angeles
Lexington, MA
OUCH! Did you spot that not-so-subliminal hint?
So, you live (or work) in one of these cities. Great! Please register your event on the awesome Ubuntu Loco Directory. It's so easy that it will bring tears to your eyes. It's more fun than unicorns and puppies.
Remember what I said ~6 months ago? "Your event could be the one that changes Ubuntu, and the world." That may seem lofty to some, but I like to think that change begins locally.

For those keeping score, here's the final Jam-o-Meter from the last Global Jam we had (Oneiric Ocelot cycle):
Hi,
what is the number 400 limit? Is it the number of approved LoCo teams?
Sort of. It's roughly the number of teams that appear here: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ irregardless of status.
In an ideal world the top of the Jam-o-Meter should be many thousands. (The total number of all villages/towns/cities in the world.)
According to wiki.answers.com, a good starting point would be 2851
"There are 455 cities with a poplation of more than 1,000,000 people, 1054 with more than 500,000 and 2851 with more than 150,000 people."
