Small groups of developers participate in short (45-60 minute) BOF sessions where a single project is discussed, and afterward documents the outcome of the discussion in the form of a written specification.

What is it?

Near the beginning of each Ubuntu release, Canonical sponsors a developer summit where plans for the next release are discussed and documented. While open to the public, these sessions are intense, focused and developer-oriented, and so participants should be prepared for this.

This is not a conference, exhibition or other audience-oriented event. It is an opportunity for Ubuntu developers, who usually collaborate online, to work together in person on specific tasks.

Agenda

The agenda has not yet been set. Once DapperDrake is released, developers will register FeatureSpecifications and propose them for discussion.

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 with a pre-designed agenda. You'll be collaborating with the lead developers and helping to define the concrete deliverables that make up the next four and a half months work (until the release of Edgy, probably Ubuntu 6.10).

Sponsorship

Sponsorship requests have been archived to UbuntuDeveloperSummitParis/SponsorshipRequests. The selection panel has reviewed the sponsorship requests and the selected sponsored-participants are being announced and notified via e-mail. All notifications should be sent by May 15th. No more sponsorship requests are being considered.

Goals and Agenda

The conference will be focused on technical specifications and development for Ubuntu Version 6.10 (Edgy Eft).

Travel Hints

Charles de Gaulle Aéroport (CDG/LFPG) is Air France's main hub and the second busiest airport in the world, depending on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_world%27s_busiest_airports_by_international_passenger_traffic the method] you choose.

The station underneath the airport is Roissy-CDG; it is on the TGV-avoiding-line (LGV Interconnexion) that skirts Paris, featuring direct TGV/Thalys services from Brussels and the rest of France. Coming from London you can switch from Eurostar onto the TGV at Lille Europe; or go into Paris Gare du Nord and out again. (Note that the London->Brussels trains that stop at Lille are frequently less-crowded and so you're more likely to get cheaper tickets on this routeing, it's probably also faster by avoiding the local train journey out from central Paris where you will need to catch [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RER_B3 RER Line B3].
