What is Ubuntu?

Ubuntu is a free and open-source operating system based on Linux. It's popular for its user-friendly interface, wide range of software applications, and strong community support. Whether you're a developer, system administrator, or everyday computer user,  Ubuntu offers a powerful and customizable computing experience.

What We're Looking For

• Technical Talks
  • Case studies, development experiences, implementations, and applications related to Ubuntu.
  • Focus on practical, knowledge-sharing content.
  • Avoid marketing materials.
• Ubuntu-Centric Topics
  • Priority given to subjects directly related to Ubuntu, its ecosystem, and the community.
  • Be specific! Broad topics like "What is Security?" are less likely to be accepted. For instance, a talk on "Advanced Security Configurations in Ubuntu" is more likely to be accepted than a general overview of security.
• Unique Insights
  • Share your hard-won experiences and hard-to-find information, not easily searchable content.
• Community-Oriented Talks
  • Generic topics are okay if directly connected to Ubuntu projects or the community (e.g., managing budget for UbuCon events).

Please note that this is a volunteer opportunity and speaker participation is on your own expense.
