The two-week Canonical Conference starts on Monday, it's going to be a pretty intense time but should be great fun. We're often mistakenly called a UK company, in fact our staff are spread out across the world, and we've just as many Australian staff as we've got UK ones. Our company conferences are when we all get together in the same place for some high-bandwidth interaction rather than on IRC.

It's really refreshing to work for a company that gets why community involvement is so important. Our mini-conference at Debconf4 was open to anyone who wanted to drop in and we've extended an open invite to anyone else who wants to join in.
