UDS Draft Schedule Up

by | Mon 15 Oct 2007

Well, UDS is growing nearer, and I am more excited about this UDS than any other. In fact, I often have to ask close friends to slap me in the face to calm me down. I am looking forward to meeting each and every one of you.

In the same tradition as Ubuntu’s open development process, we are making available the program of events for the upcoming Ubuntu Developer Summit as it is prepared.

As with the previous UDS, the program will be a combination of two parts:

* The core program, organised into tracks by topic, assembled by the event organisers. This is a work in progress, but a draft is available at [https://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/uds-boston-2007](https://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/uds-boston-2007).
* Discussion slots submitted to Launchpad by attendees leading up to (and even during) the event. Instructions for proposing a topic can be found on the lovingly prepared [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS-Boston/ProposingSessions](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS-Boston/ProposingSessions) page. 🙂

I look forward to seeing you all in Cambridge. 🙂

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.

Ubuntu Governance Reboot: Five Proposals
