Ubuntu In Business

tdomf_5b078 — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 10:28:13 +0000

The Ubuntu UK community and Canonical, the commercial sponsors of Ubuntu, would like to invite you to a very different type of IT event. The Ubuntu operating system for the desktop and server has made significant inroads into UK businesses over the last 5 years. Often it is driven there by the enthusiasm of individuals from the community who use Ubuntu for their personal computing and see the advantages it can bring to the workplace. This event gives those advocates an opportunity to introduce their colleagues to Ubuntu, Canonical, Partners, community experts and their fellow IT professionals. Attendees will learn how Ubuntu is being deployed in the UK and discover how they can introduce or extend this technology safely and effectively within their organisation.

All are welcome, but if you already count yourself as an Ubuntu user, please drag along a colleague who has yet to see the light!

Site Updates

JonathanD — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 11:09:30 +0000

We’re had many requests for a few different features, so we would like to outline what we’re working on in this regard.

1.) Event mapping: This is a challenging feature to build, but it is something we’re looking into: the ability to find events by location and distance from you.

2.) User Group Calendar integration: Several users groups have requested the ability to send us an ical or rss feed, and have those events automatically posted here. Rest assured, we are working on this and it is likely to be the next feature we complete.

3.) RSS feeds and notifications: This is one many individuals request. We would eventually like to tie this in to item 1, and devise a way for users to get an RSS feed of events local to them.

Now that you know what we’re working on, feel free to mail in to comment on any of these or anything else you would like to see us add. In addition, if you are interested in helping out with the design of these features, and have a background in wordpress or php, give us a shout via the contact form.

Aloha and welcome,
here you can find information about Free and Open Source Software events taking place near you (or further away if you enjoy traveling!) — we hope to collect all FOSS events that are taking place across the globe and create a easily search-able directory for finding events, big and small.

If you’re arranging an event, please get in touch and we will do our bit to plug it! If you know of an event and we don’t, let us know too! Developer conferences, large and small, expo’s ala LWE, barcamps, LUG meetings.. no event too big or small, keep us in the loop and we’ll try keep the wider community in the loop too.

For more information about fossevents.org and the Peer-Directed Projects Center, please see the ‘about’ section of the site.

We hope you like what we’re trying to do and that you will find it useful, we welcome feedback and you can find us in #fossevents on irc.freenode.net
