Clear message

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 six months work.

If you would like to be considered for sponsorship to attend the event, please indicate your details in this table by 5th May latest.

Mainly L10n and regional issues: 1. suggestions to improvements for Launchpad/Rosetta and l10n process | 2. possibilities of supporting of locale/localization communities and locale sites | 3. possibilities of translating main pages at Ubuntu.com, Kubuntu.org and Ubuntu.org and their connection to locale sites (e.g. if it is better to have locale sites or provide rather the translated version of the official ones with links to local sites, forums and mailing lists) | 4. the importance of translation of ShipIt service and basic environment on DesktopCD (without need to downloading language packs from net)| 5. specifics of marketing strategy in non-english speaking countries).

Travel Hints

Charles de Gaulle Aéroport (CDG/LFPG) is Air France's main hub and the second largest 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.

Roissy-CDG 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 from central Paris where you will need to catch [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RER_B3 RER Line B3].
