What: Ubuntu Below Zero Where: Montreal, Canada When: Sunday 30 October - Thursday 10 November 2005 (see below for details) Who: Open to the Public
How to Attend
All core Ubuntu developers will be in attendance and anyone else who is interested or involved in Ubuntu is welcome to attend as well.
While the developer summit is open, we do need to have an idea of who is going to be coming so we can plan the space requirements. Please fill in your information at ["/Attendees"]. Please also note that this is a developer summit, not a typical "presentations and speeches" conference. It's hard work with an intense schedule, mapping out the road to Breezy+1. You'll be collaborating with the lead developers and helping to define the concrete deliverables that make up the next six months work.
A limited amount of sponsorship is available. Please see ["/Attendees"] for details.
Goals and Agenda
We will have a community focused Ubuntu Love Day on Sunday 30 October. The rest of the conference will be focused on technical specifications and development for Ubuntu Version 6.04 (in the first week) and Launchpad (in the second week). All are welcome, but please expect to contribute in a hands on manner to the technical direction of Ubuntu and Launchpad.
