The first 2007 New York City UBUCON will open its doors at 8:30 in the morning on Friday 16 February 2007 at 111 Eighth Avenue on the Island of the Manahattoes. UBUCON will be held within the New York offices of Google.
UBUCON asks that UBUCON players enter at 76 Ninth Avenue. UBUCON suggests that all who wish to attend the UBUCON register their intent at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TheUbucon/RSVP If you cannot register at this page, please write directly to John Mark Walker, impresario of this UBUCON, at [EMAIL PROTECTED] >From https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TheUbucon : Google's NYC office is located at 76 9th Avenue in Chelsea, Manhattan, between 8th and 9th Avenue and 15th and 16th Street. Please enter the building on the northwest side (16th Street & 9th Avenue). A Google representative will be on hand to greet you, provide you with a building badge, and direct you to the 8th floor. To get to Google New York, take the A/C/E or L subway to 14th Street, and exit onto 8th Avenue. Alternatively, the 1/2/3 subway lines and M11, M14, and M20 buses service the surrounding area. If you are driving, the closest parking lot is located in the building, accessible from 15th or 16th Street. For other approaches to the UBUCON see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JayS Ubuntu enthusiasts claim that the UBUCON is Free Software's oldest regular meeting. The first UBUCON was celebrated in Paris in 1907. Imagists, Yggdrassilians, and FreeBSD folk dominated the Install Fest. Despite the occultation of Alfred Jarry, two world wars, the rise of Jerry Lewis, and the extraordinary provocations of Art Buchwald, the protean UBUCON has never failed. At least one call went out every year, and every year the faithful assembled, the lustration was performed, and the penultimate banquet was enjoyed in the traditional postures. I, Jay Sulzberger, will speak at 3:00 pm in Room One. I will speak on the present correlation of forces in the struggle between the Englobulators and the people of Earth. We will remark the nexus of the $165 laptop, the proposed WIPO X-Cast treaty, Network Neutrality, quantum computing, and the secret writings of George Boole. For more information on this UBUCON, see the official announcement by John Mark Walker. The announcement is appended.

If you're already an Ubuntu user, come on by - tell your story of how you're using Ubuntu Linux; help out at the installfest; or just hang out with some interesting people. If you're not an Ubuntu user, then here is your chance to learn what the fuss is about.

Lunch will be served on-site. Participants and attendees are all welcome, and true to form with free software, everyone can be both. If you have an Ubuntu story to tell, whether it's as a sysadmin, developer, or home user, please tell us about it. If you're interested in participating or helping out in some way, the first IRC meeting will take place this Friday, 6pm ET on #ubucon on irc.freenode.net. I hope to see you there.
