by | Wed 4 Nov 2009

In a few weeks the [Ubuntu Developer Summit](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS) kicks off in Dallas. There will be discussing a wide range of topics across seven tracks: *community, kernel, desktop, qa, foundations, mobile* and *server*.

We are about to begin scheduling sessions, and I just wanted to invite those of you who are attendting to propose a sessions for the event. Before you do anything you **must** go to [https://launchpad.net/sprints/uds-l](https://launchpad.net/sprints/uds-l) and click the **Register yourself** link to mark yourself as attending the event.

To register a blueprint follow these steps:

1. Go to https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ and click the *Register a Blueprint* button.
2. Enter all the Blueprint information and using the *Propose for sprint* combo box, select **uds-l**.
3. In the Blueprint summary screen click the *Subscribe* link and if you consider yourself absolutely required to attend the session, select the *Participation essential* checkbox.

When you have done this we platform managers will see the blueprint in the scheduling system and we are ready to roll.

Please try to get all blueprints registered ASAP.
