Overview

A convention of Ubuntu users, hackers, documentators, would-be users/hackers, and anyone with any interest in free software, held in the UK.

Detail

"An Ubucon is a community driven, community organised event that is all about Ubuntu. These events often include a number of speakers, BOF sessions, demos, social events and more, and they are excellent ways to grow the Ubuntu community in your area, and to build an interesting and fun event. Ubucon's are different to large Linux expos and conferences in that they are uniquely community focused and driven, and uniquely Ubuntu." Source: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/RunningAnUbucon

UbuCons have been held in Germany, New York (USA), Seville (Spain), Boulder (USA)

Resources Required

Time, energy, venue, speakers, a website, sponsors.

Ideas for Attractions

Got an idea for a talk/display/attraction? Put it here.

  • Kubuntu/KDE stall
  • Stalls advertising the different versions of Ubuntu (Kubuntu, Xubunto, Gobuntu, etc.)
  • Need some big screens running some videos of Compiz-Fusion and/or nice Xscreensavers and/or live demos.
  • Networked games, lots of nice spec PCs
  • Live demos / workshops
  • Not really an attraction but we need tons of CDs.

Venue

Please add any venue, and the city it is in, here.

  • Limehouse Town Hall, London
  • University of London Union, London
  • NEC, Birmingham (conference facilities include IT and AV kit). Central Location
  • * DarrenM - Backing up the NEC. Central location, transport links and a nice place.

  • Bracknell Sports Centre (venu of computer fairs) as used by BCF: http://www.britishcomputerfairs.com/cgi-bin/floorplan?vnu_id=5 - inexpensive though not a usual Conference venue, good rail and bus service from London, at junction of M4 and M3 Motorways. Monthly location of BCF computer fairs for the area.

  • Cardiff International Arena
