On February 16 the brand-new Google offices in New York will host UbuCon New York, a 1-day conference for Ubuntu users and developers. This event will be part conference, part installfest, and part user group meeting. And there's an added bonus: you will be served lunch on-site, hopefully from the famous Google cafeteria.
For more details on the conference and instructions on how to register please visit the UbuCon page on the Ubuntu Wiki, or the UbuCon blog. And you can also visit the IRC channel #ubucon on irc.freenode.net if you have any questions.
