This page is for planning how to give Ubuntu a strong, effective presence at conferences, tradeshows and linux user group gatherings.

  • If you plan to attend a conference and have an Ubuntu booth or give a talk about Ubuntu, please add that info at ConferenceAppearances.

Materials

  • See ["DIYMarketing"] for the pieces you need to create your own materials to have an effective conference presence.

  • You can order CDs at [http://shipit.ubuntu.com]. Note that it can take up to 8 weeks from the time of your order to delivery, so please plan ahead.

  • You can get Ubuntu t-shirts and other kit at [http://www.cafepress.com/ubuntushop] and [:t-shirt:here] (if in Europe)

  • We will supply Conference Packs to Loco Teams that are manning an Ubuntu booth. A conference pack contains 4 t-shirts, 200 Ubuntu leaflets and 200 Ubuntu stickers. Conference Pack approval is at Canonical's discretion, and any left over materials should be shared with Loco Team members for other events. To request a pack, please email the following information to info@shipit.ubuntu.com at least 4 weeks prior to the event:

  • General information on collaborating with other projects can be found on ConferenceTopTips as well. If you have a master plan of collaboration with a specific project/local community of a project, consider creating an extra page.
