Immediately after informing us about the upcoming Ubuntu Scopes Showdown 2016 contests and its amazing prizes, Canonical proudly announced that they would be giving away a Dell laptop with Ubuntu Linux preinstalled at the UbuCon Summit 2016 event.

Canonical's David Planella had the great pleasure of announcing that in collaboration with Dell, one of the fastest growing and most successful IT companies in history, they will be giving away a brand-new Ubuntu Dell XPS 13 laptop amongst the participants of the upcoming UbuCon Summit event.

"Thanks to our friends at Dell, we're very excited to announce that we'll be giving away one of the new Dell XPS 13 devices preinstalled with Ubuntu amongst the participants of the UbuCon Summit next week! More details on the device config coming up soon! Join us in LA next Thursday and Friday," said David Planella, Ubuntu Community Manager at Canonical.

What is UbuCon Summit

Some of our Ubuntu readers might remember that fact that Canonical organized a developer conference called Ubuntu Developer Summit (abbreviated UDS) a few years ago, which was killed by Mark Shuttleworth and transformed into an online event called Ubuntu Online Summit (UOS).

Well, believe it or not, Canonical and Mark Shuttleworth decided to revive the popular developer conference that gathers together some of the most important names in the Ubuntu community under the name of UbuCon Summit. In 2016, the UbuCon Summit event will take place next week, between January 21 and 22.

UbuCon Summit 2016 will be held during the SCALE 14x Southern California Linux Expo that will take place in Pasadena, California, United States of America (USA), hosted at Pasadena Convention Center.
