Ubuntu App Developer Week 2011: 5th - 9th September

For the second time this year, Canonical, through David Planella, announced a few days ago that the Ubuntu App Developer Week event will take place between 5th to 9th September, 2011, on the Ubuntu IRC channel.

Ubuntu App Developer Week was created to inspire developers of all ages, regardless of their skill level, to write applications with tools developed by Ubuntu for the Ubuntu platform.

"This is a great opportunity to showcase and to teach about the unique technologies that enable application developers to create beautiful apps using our platform. And to recruit new contributors for your project."

"Our goal is to give all attendees a taste of the wide variety of tools on the Ubuntu platform that can be used to create awesome applications, and to showcase some applications that have been created and explain how they were put together." - said David Planella, Ubuntu translations coordinator.
