Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] Meeting up in SFBA for UDS next week?
I didn't get any replies (unless I missed an email), which is unsurprising given the short notice. I am strongly considering whether it would be worth organizing such a thing (and better-planned than meh, show up at my apartment) for the May/June UDS. We don't know the timing of it yet, unfortunately, but I'd be curious to know who's interested and would show up to at least part of it. -- Geoffrey Thomas http://ldpreload.com geo...@ldpreload.com On Wed, 6 Mar 2013, Grant Bowman wrote: Geoffrey, How did this go?

The event, organized and funded by Canonical, is designed to get the brightest minds in the Ubuntu community together and develop a rigorous set of blueprints and work items for the forthcoming release of Ubuntu. These blueprints are tracked openly in https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ and work items tracked openly at http://status.ubuntu.com.

With these goals in mind the Ubuntu Developer Summit is transitioning over to an online event that takes place for two days every three months, and driven by live video discussion sessions, complete with integrated discussion, note-taking, and harnessing social media.

In the new online format the event will make extensive use of Google+ Hangouts On Air split across four channels, Client, Server Cloud, Community, and App Developers, with each channel having two video streams totalling 8 potential concurrent UDS topics. UDS sessions will be spread across these channels with integrated IRC, Etherpad, Social Media sharing, and links to blueprints and specs. As with the physical UDS, the event will also include keynotes, plenary sessions and lightning talks; providing a great online venue for planning the future of Ubuntu as well as delivering news, education, demos and other related material. As with the physical UDS, the new online format is open to all to participate as a contributor or viewer, and we are confident that the online format will open up UDS to more and more people around the world. The new format of UDS provides an enhanced level of openness and transparency that is optimized for online participants. Unlike the physical UDS where a portion of the agenda is recorded in video form, *every* session in the new UDS format will be recorded and available from the schedule. Likewise, with the format of the event being online, the audio and video quality of the online experience should be much improved compared to recording a physical room of people with a single microphone and camera and variable sound levels.

Unfortunately since we don't know about timing it's really tricky for me (I'll be out of town from April 24th - May 12th) but if it ends up landing later in May or June I'd be totally up for take a day or two to spend the day with others enjoying UDS sessions.
