Welcome to the start of the blog of the Ubuntu IRC Council, we will use this for various announcements and articles, but as always we will try to announce things first in our regular IRC meetings and on the mailing list. In our most recent meeting we touched upon some preparations for the forthcoming Ubuntu Developer Summit, we are working on scheduling an IRC related meeting during the week, more on that later.
The Ubuntu Developer Summit is a week long series of 1 hour meetings or workshops spread across 19 rooms of a hotel in Oakland, California (left hand edge of America, half way up), each room will have live streaming audio and a projector of an IRC channel so that remote participants can listen in and participate back via IRC. You can browse the schedule for each day and choose what meetings you want to go to, find the room it is in and join the corresponding IRC channel on the freenode network.
The channels are:
#ubuntu-uds-grand-ballroom-a
#ubuntu-uds-grand-ballroom-b
#ubuntu-uds-grand-ballroom-c
#ubuntu-uds-grand-ballroom-f
#ubuntu-uds-grand-ballroom-g
#ubuntu-uds-grand-ballroom-h
#ubuntu-uds-junior-ballroom-1
#ubuntu-uds-junior-ballroom-2
#ubuntu-uds-junior-ballroom-3

#ubuntu-uds-room-206
#ubuntu-uds-room-207
#ubuntu-uds-room-208
#ubuntu-uds-room-210-211
#ubuntu-uds-room-212
and finally the main channel for the keynote and plenaries and general chit chat is #ubuntu-uds
