We had the pleasure of sharing a wonderful evening with the UbuCon organization at the Malecón del Río in the city of Barranquilla. During this nighttime tour, organizers, speakers, and attendees came together in a fraternal and joyful atmosphere to connect and enjoy each other’s company.
We also had the opportunity to visit the beautiful beaches of Puerto Colombia and enjoy a sunny day by the sea, making the experience even more memorable.
As we wrap up this incredible edition of UbuCon Latinoamérica, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who made it possible.
A huge shoutout to #UbuntuCO and its amazing leader, @linaporras , for their tireless efforts in managing resources and ensuring everything ran smoothly.
To our allied tech communities — Caribedev, Python Barranquilla, and RedTeam Barranquilla — your support and collaboration were invaluable.
To the amazing staff who worked behind the scenes, your dedication and hard work made this event a reality. We couldn’t have done it without you!
Our deepest gratitude to the Universidad de la Costa, for opening its doors and hosting this year’s UbuCon. Your hospitality made all the difference.
To Canonical, thank you for your unwavering support and for believing in the power of open-source communities. Your backing means the world to us!
A special thank you to all our speakers and workshop instructors. Without your knowledge, enthusiasm, and dedication, this event wouldn’t have been possible. You were the heart and soul of UbuCon!
