Ubuntu Live
July 22-24, 2007
Portland, Oregon
http://www.ubuntulive.com


If you'd like to learn how to herd cats and influence people, how to
deploy Ubuntu in government, or why Asterisk loves Ubuntu, you can't
afford to miss Ubuntu Live 2007, July 22-24 in Portland, Oregon.
Co-sponsored by O'Reilly Media and Canonical Ltd., it will be the
largest gathering ever of the Ubuntu community.

Whether it's the humor expressed in the topics of so many of our
speakers or the lofty ideals inherent in the spirit of Ubuntu Ð "I am
what I am because of who we all are" Ð the appeal of this amazingly
versatile open source platform continues to grow exponentially. In
creating a venue for the exploration of Ubuntu in enterprise, education,
government and community, Ubuntu Live 2007 emphasizes the
interconnectedness of the work and the platform's accessibility for all
users.
