Ubports at the Linux Piter conference
I'm happy (and thankful) for having been invited to speak at the Linux Piter conference in Saint Petersburg on November 2nd. I'll be talking about the Ubports project, which is the community-driven continuation of the Ubuntu Touch effort, driven by Canonical until April 7th, when the project was cancelled.
The conference talks will be in English and Russian, with simultaneous translation on the other language. The videos will appear a couple of weeks after the conference on the organization's YouTube channel, but in any case I will write a post here — unless, of course, something goes terribly wrong and I feel ashamed of my performance ;-). In order to minimize this risk, I won't be giving a live demo (at least, not before I finish talking on my slides), but I'll take a couple of Ubports devices with me and people are very welcome to come to me and check them out.
As far as I've understood, most of the audience will not be very familiar with Linux-based mobile devices, but I guess that could play into an advantage for me: no difficult questions, yay! ;-)
And I really hope that some member of the audience gets interested in the project and decides to become part of it. We'll see. :-)
