The Ubucon New York - February 16 - Google Office, New York, NY
If you're an Ubuntu user, sysadmin, or developer, please join us at The UbuCon on February 16 (the day after [http://www.linuxworldsummit.com/ LinuxWorld Open Solutions Summit]) at the brand spanking new [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=l&hl=en&q=google&near=New+York,+NY&ie=UTF8&z=15&ll=40.74196,-74.00465&spn=0.015542,0.040169&om=1&iwloc=A Google office in Manhattan]. Right now, we're looking for attendees and participants - what should Ubuntu users know? How do you use Ubuntu? Want to help out in an Ubuntu installfest? [mailto:theubucon@theubucon.org Tell us about it].
RSVP
Want to come? We'll need you to register - ["TheUbuconRSVP"]
Registration is free of charge and the event is open to everyone, but we will need you to RSVP to get you pre-registered with building security.
First IRC Meeting
Meet other UbuCon folks in #ubucon on irc.freenode.net. The first "meeting" will take place on Friday at 6pm, ET.
Other Stuff
Looking for someone to share a hotel room? Hoping for a ride from the airport? Want to organize a walk in Central Park over the weekend? Collaborate on the UbuConNyMeetups page.
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. Look for a skeleton schedule by next week.
