Greetings! We’re announcing today that we’re extending deadline for call for proposal until April 15th. If you were rushing into deadline for submitting your proposal, You now have some extra times to complete your submission. Due to Visa invitation process and travel grant process, there will be no further CFP deadline extension after April 15th.

If you need travel grant from the organizing committee, please also make sure to submit application before the CFP deadline. So that we can review your session proposal and travel grant application together and easily confirm your participation later.

You might already know UbuCon Asia 2025 to be held in Kathmandu, Nepal this year. But what about schedule for call for proposals this year? We got the early news for that today. This year, We’ll be opening call for proposals from March. And below is the detailed call for proposals schedule.

• March 1st: Call for proposals begins
• April 2nd: Last day to submit proposals
  • Could be extended few more weeks in case we need to receive more proposals
• April 30th: Sending out proposal review results begins
  • Could be started earlier if we close call for proposals on April 2nd
• May 14th: Last day for content team to send out proposal review results

March 1st sounds like quite far away from now. But it would come pretty sooner than you think. If you plan to submit your session proposals this year, this is actually good timing to start brainstorm about what kind of topic you’re gonna choose for your proposal.

Our next edition of UbuCon Asia in Kathmandu, Nepal with date set to August 30-31 is now looking for its sponsors who will help us to make this annual gathering happen!

Since 2021, UbuCon Asia has been connecting diverse people in Asia with one thing common: Ubuntu and FOSS. And has been enabling Asian Ubuntu and FOSS community to explore what we can do with Ubuntu and FOSS and how we can contribute to its projects and communities. The event has been also a huge momentum to get Ubuntu local communities get more active or sometimes revived from long vacant and connect each other. And this was not possible without any support from our sponsors!

After many discussions within the committee, the UbuCon Asia Committee is glad to announce that UbuCon Asia 2025 will be held in Kathmandu, Nepal. We have only received a bid from Nepal for 2025 and have reached out to other Ubuntu LoCos who might be interested in hosting. The team also had time to improve their bid. After an organizing committee meeting today (November 18th 12:00 UTC) where the Nepal team presented their event organizing plan and answered many committee questions, the UbuCon Asia Committee unanimously agreed to choose Kathmandu, Nepal for UbuCon Asia 2025.
