Clear message

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."
