UDS: Here it comes

by | Fri 24 Aug 2007

Guess what folks, its coming to that time again…you got it – Ubuntu Developer Summit time!!

The Ubuntu Developer Summit is a week long event in which a swathe of Ubuntu contributors get together into the same venue to design, discuss and flesh out the next version of Ubuntu. This includes the entire Ubuntu team that work for Canonical, a number of Ubuntu contributors that we sponsor and a large number of contributors who attend themselves. We also have a number of organisations, vendors, press and interested parties who attend. It is an excellent way to get involved in how Ubuntu is developed and see the Open Source development process in action. With this comes a caveat though – the UDS is a hardcore development summit. It is not a conference with presentations, talks and user focused content – this is about building Ubuntu from a technical and community governance level.

The next UDS is scheduled for Sunday 28th October to Friday 2nd November 2007 and will be held at The Hilton at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. To find out more, head over to [this page](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS-Boston). We look forward to seeing you there!

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.

Sorry, this is *long*, but hang in there. A little while back I wrote [a blog post](https://archivedblog.jonobacon.com/2014/11/14/ubuntu-governance-reboot/) that seemed to inspire some people and ruffle the feathers of some others. It was designed as a...
