Canonical is proud to announce the second conference around the Ubuntu conference.

Without further ado, here are the essential details on the next get together:

--gt; What: Ubuntu Down Under
--gt; Where: Sydney, Australia
--gt; When: 25 - 30 April 2005 (arrive on 24th, depart on 1st)
--gt; Who: Open to the Public

Open to the public means that everyone is welcome to come, and that means you too. That said, we are asking that people tell us they are coming. You can find information on doing this on the page linked below.

There's not a huge amount of information online yet but everything we do have is here or linked from here:

http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/UbuntuDownUnder

As we get more information, we will be updating that page.

Like last time, there is a limited amount of money for sponsorship. Anyone is welcome to apply for sponsorship although we will give preference to people who are active, visible, and known in the community and who are from the general geographical area. Since Canonical conferences move around the world but clearly can't be everywhere, the general geographical area in this case extends to much of East, Southeast, and South of Asia and to Australasia, and the Pacific. More information on sponsorship is in the conference page. All requests for sponsorship must be made no later than March 13th.
