February 16 will be a special day for Ubuntu users and the Ubuntu curious. If you're already an Ubuntu user, come on by - tell your story of how you're using Ubuntu Linux; help out at the installfest; or just hang out with some interesting people. If you're not an Ubuntu user, then here is your chance to learn what the fuss is about.

The UbuCon New York will be held at the brand new Google offices in Manhattan, located at 76 9th Avenue (or 111 8th Ave, depending on which side of the building you enter). Part un-conference, part installfest, and part user group meeting, The UbuCon will take place simultaneously in one large auditorium and 3 - 6 small (~20 people) conference rooms. Lunch will be served on-site.

Participants and attendees are all welcome, and true to form with free software, everyone can be both. If you have an Ubuntu story to tell, whether it's as a sysadmin, developer, or home user, please tell us about it.

If you're interested in participating or helping out in some way, the first IRC meeting will take place this Friday, 6pm ET on #ubucon on irc.freenode.net.
