The first German-speaking Ubuntu conference (called “ubucon”) will be held on October 20th and 21st at “Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences”.

The German LoCo-Team and community organized many successful Ubuntu happenings in the past and this event will be even bigger and better.

We want everybody to get a deeper insight into the Ubuntu Linux distribution. We will focus on presentations, talks, workshops, tutorials and of course, chats with other users and community members.

If you want to join us, please register yourself on www.ubucon.de so we can estimate how many people will attend, and make sure you have a badge printed with your name.

The Call for Papers on July, 11st and will end on August 11th, so start preparing them!
This event has no entrance fee.

The German Kubuntu Community is representing Kubuntu at the annual LinuxTag in Berlin. The booth is shared with the Ubuntu and Edubuntu Community as well as the Linux4Africa project.

Anybody who cannot visit the LinuxTag, but still would like to feel the atmosphere, has an opportunity to watch them via webcam. A periodically refreshed still image (every 30 secs) can be found at http://webcam.kubuntu-de.org. The webcam will be working every day between 07:00 and 16:00 UTC.
