The Ubuntu Online Summit starts next week
Canonical
on 29 October 2015
Tags: Ubuntu
Three days of free and live content all around Ubuntu and Open Source: discussions, tutorials, demos, presentations and Q+As for anyone to get in touch with the latest news and technologies, and get started contributing to Ubuntu.
The tracks
As in previous editions, the sessions runs along multiple tracks that group related topics as a theme:
- App & scope development: the SDK and developer platform roadmaps, phone core apps planning, developer workshops
- Cloud: Ubuntu Core on clouds, Juju, Cloud DevOps discussions, charm tutorials, the Charm, OpenStack
- Community: governance discussions, community event planning, Q+As, how to get involved in Ubuntu
- Convergence: the road to convergence, the Ubuntu desktop roadmap, requirements and use cases to bring the desktop and phone together
- Core: snappy Ubuntu Core, snappy post-vivid plans, snappy demos and Q+As
- Show & Tell: presentations, demos, lightning talks (read: things that break and explode) on a varied range of topics

Here are some of my personal handpicks on sessions not to miss:
- Opening keynote: Mark Shuttleworth, Canonical and Ubuntu founder will be opening the Online Summit with his keynote, on Tuesday 3rd Nov, 14:00 UTC

Participating
Joining the summit is easy. Simply remember to:
Once you’ve done that, there are different ways of taking part online event via video hangouts and IRC:
- Participate or watch sessions – everyone is welcome to participate and join a discussion to provide input or offer contribution. If you prefer to take a rear seat, that’s fine too. You can either subscribe to sessions, watch them on your browser or directly join a live hangout.
- Propose a session – do you want to take a more active role in contributing to Ubuntu? Do you have a topic you’d like to discuss, or an idea you’d like to implement? Then you’ll probably want to propose a session to make it happen. There is still a week for accepting proposals, so why don’t you go ahead and propose a session?
Looking forward to seeing you all at the Summit!
