The countdown to the Ubuntu Summit is officially on! We are just three weeks away from Ubuntu Summit 26.04, and the orange energy levels in our community channels are peaking. We’ve been reviewing the talk submissions, and have been blown away by the passion and creativity of our circle of friends. Once again, the schedule is packed with sessions that prove open source technology is truly everywhere.

A taste of the schedule

Seeing the final lineup of all the upcoming Summit talks has made us realize just how beautifully geeky this event is going to be. This timetable is a true hacker paradise! We are incredibly excited to give you a quick sneak peek at a few sessions we cannot wait to attend.

Nariman Jelveh challenges us with the thought provoking question: “What if your entire computer lived in the browser, and the whole stack was open source?”. Are you sold? We certainly are and can’t wait to see what he will show us. 

Jonathan Bennett will give us a glimpse into the amazing world of Meshtastic, and then take us on a breathtaking adventure with a live demo. 

Giacomo Cavalieri will take us on a journey with his talk “Gleam, and the value of small”. This incredible open source project has taken the world of open source by storm… by keeping things small, focused, and precise.

The hallway track is local

As we get closer to the event, we want to remind you that the best seat of the Ubuntu Summit might just be right in your own city.

Communities around the world are organizing local meetups to watch the stream together, debate the talks, and build local connections. The Ubuntu Summit Extended events are multiplying, so check the Ubuntu Discourse to find an Extended event near you. If there is not one yet, you still have time to invite a few friends over and create your own summit experience!
