“This week I am kicking off the People, Personalities, and
Planner’s: Who’s behind your FOSS events? One way of getting
involved in the Ubuntu Community is by attending events. Most of
the events throughout 2010 will have some element of the Ubuntu
Community involved in them. There will be Ubuntu Community members
speaking at main events or specialty events such as Women in Open
Source, and/or Ubucon’s, some will be planners, others will be
staffing an Ubuntu LoCo Booth, and others will be lending their
support by attending these events. Let’s face it, without people
attending there would really be no need for the the event now would
there? Attending an event is contributing as well – don’t forget
that! I can’t help but think of people who say, “If I had never
gone to I would not be doing what I am doing today!” It’s an
important step and one never knows where those steps will lead
to.
