    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperSummitParis

    Canonical offered to sponsor members of the forum staff to go to the Developer Summit in Paris.

    AFAIK I'm the only one of us forum staff going. (others couldn't go due to work/visa)

    I just received the train tickets! And I'm very grateful to ubuntu-geek and canonical.

    Are any of you guys also going ?

    from http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/32 :
    so this is a call for folks who want to drive features in Edgy to document those in the wiki, and register them in the Ubuntu Blueprint.
    edgy wishlists are here :

    Let's all post our specs to the wiki and launchpad!

    Too bad I don't have a laptop. I just read that gobby will be used.

    $apt-cache show gobby
    Gobby is an editor which allows to edit text documents and source files
    collaboratively over a network. All users could work on the file
    simultanously without the need to lock it. The parts the various users
    wrote are highlighted in different colours and it supports syntax
    highlighting of various programming and markup languages. A chat is
    also included.
    .
    Gobby is portable to both Windows and Unix-like platforms and makes use of
    the Gtk+ toolkit.

    I borrowed an old laptop from a friend. It's fast enough for icewm and it has a 10mbit pcmcia network card.

    I will be leaving in less than two hours. I will probably arrive at the hotel before dinner time (19:30).

    After I've got out of the Thalys in Paris Nord I noticed that the temperature was quite high. I had still a bit of traveling to do to get from Paris Nord to the hotel. Luckily I've arrived in time to take a shower before going down to the lobby to find a bunch of Ubuntu people. After a bit of time it was dinner time.

    The hotel is great. I've heard it even has a swimming pool. The hotel's restaurant is great as well.

    I'm meeting interesting people here : for example during diner I spoke to the guy who wrote synaptic. He also did some work on the dist-upgrading part of update-manager. He was interested in experiences from users regarding dist-upgrading. So I've told him about the stickies about common problems in the installation and upgrade help forum right here. I'll probably talk to him somewhat more about this later.

    At this moment not very much people are using internet so there's no problem but the internet upload speed isn't very much (128kbyte/s I believe).

    The real stuff starts tomorrow morning at 9:00 CEST.

    People will be able to connect from outside using gobby and probably teamspeak :
