Canonical has published details of the Ubuntu Developer Summit

As per Friday's message. Canonical has announced that the next Ubuntu Developer Summit will take place from 19 - 23 June outside Paris, France.

The primary focus of this event will be for the distro team and others to gather together to concentrate on spec writing and technical planning for Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft). We are requesting that the attendees start preparing as many specs beforehand as possible. Enabling us to spend more time discussing, and approving specs, and less time on drafting.
