Ubuntu Summit 25.10 going online-only is a regression. Canonical still flies staff worldwide twice a year, but volunteers who build Ubuntu get sidelined with a livestream. Bring back in-person Summits.

Over the past few months, Ubuntu Studio has been in the process of migrating from Canonical’s servers to a new host with a deadline of today. It took some time to come up with the proper host as we wanted a 1:1 solution.

We have had a top panel layout for the past 13 years. Is it time to change? We're considering it for 26.04 LTS.
Let us know. A poll is active on Ubuntu Discourse. See more details at ubuntustudio.org/2025/12/com…

#UbuntuSummit was where community contributors were seen, valued, and celebrated. Moving 25.10 online-only erases that recognition. I won’t attend or speak because our work deserves more than a livestream. It's a regression at the community level.
