Are you interested in attending UDS this May in Oakland but suffering from empty-pocketbook syndrome? Apply for a Canonical sponsorship.
Canonical provides some sponsorship opportunities to help community members attend UDS. I attended the summit last May in Budapest and highly recommend the experience to other community members who want to be a part of the development process and meet Ubuntu contributors of all levels, nationalities, and backgrounds.
Sponsorship requests close on February 22, 2012. Find out more at: http://uds.ubuntu.com/participate/sponsorship/
