Conference Schedule

The Ubucon will be part un-conference, part installfest, and part user group meeting with some active Ubuntu community members. This will only be partially filled, as much of the schedule will not be determined until that day.

Breakfast will start at 8:30 AM; the conference proceedings open at 9; lunch is served from 12 - 1; and we'll be outta there by 6. You can see a partially filled schedule taking shape now.

Also, from Canonical/Ubuntu, many thanks to Jono, Jane, and a few others whose names escape us at the moment.

Thanks to Hyperic, John Mark's employer, for paying people to work on free software.

And most of all, thanks to Mark for starting the Ubuntu project, and thanks to everyone that has participated thus far.
