Reservations are under “Nick” and will be in the Pilsner Room. If you where with us for the last release its that same Location and Room as last time.

Sorry. This is probably just a little late, but better late then never.

We’ve got good news and bad news

The good news: Leslie Hawthorn, the wonderful head of the Google Open
Source Program Office (Google Summer of Code, etc) will help us plan
the next Ubucon Boulder! It is always good to have folks helping who
really know how to run a great event.

The bad news: we won’t have time to get our ducks in a row in time for
the previously announced Sep 27th date.

So we need a new date, either in October or January, since Nov and Dec
won’t work.

So we’ll figure out which Saturdays work for Google - Stay tuned!

Thanks,
Nick, Neal, Leslie and Dale

We need to get a head count of all those wish to attend as well as if you would like to give a speech/Presentation. If you could fill out the following form this will help us out dearly.

This event has been postponed.

So this is a little late of an announcement for those that are on the mailing list but its official. We will be hosting a Ubucon this September at the New Google Office in Boulder. This event will be in the lines with our last Ubucon. Meaning that it will be an Unconference with a central topic on Ubuntu.

Now granted that the main topic will be Ubuntu. I would like to extend this conference to all things Open Source and the like. Meaning all you Open Source Evangelists, Linux Enthusiasts, Open Source Developers, and all others that wish to attend. Hopefully we can make this an annual thing.

Special Thanks goes out to:
Leslie Hawthorn for helping get everything setup on the Google side of things
Dale Hawkins for being our host at Google and all things that go with being the Host
Neal & Joey for the 1 on 1 with Leslie at Oscon

So after last years Boulder Ubucon was a success thanks to Neal. I have taken it upon myself to work at getting us another possible one this year. We are shooting for a September date sometime on the weekend if we can. Once I can confirm a date I will let you all know. Just wanted to give all the world a heads up that we are working towards this possibly happening again. So that you may have a little more time in advance to join us.

Keep watching for details.
