UES, Ubucon, UDS…FYI, OMG, O RLY, YA RLY

by | Mon 30 Apr 2007

Well, I am off on my travels again. This time I am heading out to Seville in Spain for a number of Ubuntu events. These include:

* **Ubuntu Education Summit** – 3rd / 4th May – two days of discussion about furthering Ubuntu in Education. I will be hosting a session to discuss how we can get LoCo teams and other community groups together to focus on education. Much of this hails from discussions I have had with Richard Weiderman, the Canonical king of education. Should be an interesting session.
* **Ubucon Sevilla** – 5th May – a single day community event organised by the local community as well as Paul Sladen and Melissa Draper. If you are planning on going, [sign up here](https://beta.launchpad.net/sprints/ubucon-sevilla) so there is an idea of numbers. Should be an interesting day. I will be there rambling on about cat herding.
* **Ubuntu Developer Summit** – 6th – 11th May – a week in which the fate of gutsy is decided and discussed. What goes in it? Well, come and be a part of the week and help shape the next version of Ubuntu. More details [here](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS-Sevilla). I will be there, knee deep in community discussions, and I have a number of different issues I am keen to get on with. We have an incredible bunch of people coming, so it should be an excellent week.

As ever, I will be capturing each of the above on camera, and [my flickr account](https://www.flickr.com/photos/jonobacon/) will be royally battered with new photos as they arrive.

I am also looking forward to getting out in the evenings and partying with a bunch of the folks coming to the UDS. Last year was a blast, and I have no doubt that this UDS should be pretty cool too.

An invitation-only accelerator that develops industry-leading community engagement and growth via personalized training, coaching, and accountability...all tailored to your company's needs.

The Impact of One Person

The Impact of One Person

I am 35 years old and *people* never cease to surprise me. My trip home from Los Angeles today was a good example of this. It was a tortuous affair that should have been a quick hop from LA to Oakland, popping on BArt, and then getting home for a cup of tea and an...

Folks, I need to ask for some help. Like many, I have some go-to examples of great communities. This includes Wikipedia, OpenStreetmap, Ubuntu, Debian, Linux, and others. Many of these are software related, many of them are Open Source. I would like to ask your...

Ubuntu Governance: Reboot?

Ubuntu Governance: Reboot?

For many years Ubuntu has had a comprehensive governance structure. At the top of the tree are the Community Council (community policy) and the Technical Board (technical policy). Below those boards are sub-councils such as the IRC, Forum, and LoCo councils, and...
