Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Developer Summit Event Announced

As expected, the second Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS) event for 2011 has been officially announced a couple of minutes ago by Jono Bacon in an email. The Ubuntu 12.04 Developer Summit event will take place in Orlando, Florida, USA from 31st October to 4th November.

Today we are very proud to announce the Ubuntu Developer Summit event for the upcoming Ubuntu 12.04 LTS release, where the entire Canonical development team and members of the Ubuntu community gather together to share knowledge, discuss and design the next version of the Ubuntu operating system.

The Ubuntu Developer Summit event takes place twice a year, for each Ubuntu release. This is the second USD event for 2011; the first one took place in Budapest, Hungary from 9th to 13th May.

Ubuntu 12.04 will be an LTS (Long Term Support) release. It will be the fourteen release of the Ubuntu operating system and will see the light of day on April 26th, 2012.

"We also welcome everyone to participate remotely (http://uds.ubuntu.com/participate/remote) if you can't attend the event in person. More more details on how to get there, see this page (http://uds.ubuntu.com/travel/)."

"At the heart of a great UDS is a diverse group of attendees who can bring their experience and expertise to the discussions. You don't have to be technical, or be a programmer or packager to attend - UDS is open to everyone (including non-Ubuntu folks) and free to attend. We encourage everyone with an interest in Ubuntu to attend." - said Jono Bacon, Ubuntu Community Manager.
