Ubuntu Events Coming Up!

by | Thu 5 Dec 2013

In every release cycle we have a number of events organized that brings our community together to create things, share ideas and knowledge, and more. I just wanted to share the latest raft of planned events:

* **Ubuntu App Development Sprint** – 12th Dec – an online sprint where we will continue where we left off at UDS to discuss pieces we need to deliver as part of the Ubuntu App Developer platform.
* **Ubuntu App Developer Week** – 20th – 25th Jan – a week of tutorials for getting started with the Ubuntu SDK. Perfect for developers new to the Ubuntu SDK!
* **Ubuntu Developer Week** – 3rd – 7th March – a week of sessions designed for Ubuntu developers who want to fix bugs, deliver new packages, and other Operating System-level tasks.
* **[Ubuntu Global Jam](https://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/2656/)** – 4th – 6th April – the primary event where our LoCo teams get together to collaborate, share ideas, and share knowledge. Be sure to organize an event near you!
* **Ubuntu Open Week** – 21 – 25th April – a week of tutorials the week after a new release for new users how to get started.

If you are interesting in helping with these events, be sure to let me know in the comments!
