Jono Bacon announced the 11.04 Ubuntu Developer Summit



Hot on the heels of the announcement of the Natty Narwhal (http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/478), I am tickled pink to announce the details of the next Ubuntu Developer Summit (http://uds.ubuntu.com/) taking place in **Orlando, USA** from **25th - 29th October 2010**. We also have a brand new Ubuntu Developer Summit website (http://uds.ubuntu.com/) which provides all the details about [how to get there](https://uds.ubuntu.com/travel/) and why UDS is interesting if you are in our community (http://uds.ubuntu.com/participate/community/), if you are an upstream (http://uds.ubuntu.com/participate/upstreams/), and if you are a vendor (http://uds.ubuntu.com/participate/vendors/).

The Ubuntu Developer Summit one of the most important events in the Ubuntu calendar and at it we discuss, debate and design the next version of Ubuntu. We bring together the entire Canonical development team and sponsor a large number of community members across the wide range of areas in which people contribute to Ubuntu. This includes packaging, translations, documentation, testing, LoCo teams and more. UDS is an incredible experience, filled with smart and enthusiastic people, fast paced and exhausting, but incredibly gratifying to be part of the process that builds the next Ubuntu.

For every UDS, Canonical sponsors a number of community members to attend the event. We are looking for those who want to bring some real insight and expertise in their area of Ubuntu, be it development or community governance. If you feel you could offer this but can't afford to cover your expenses of attending, you should apply for sponsorship (http://uds.ubuntu.com/participate/sponsorship/). The deadline for sponsorship is **8th September 2010**.

Thanks!

Jono
