The wiki (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS-Sevilla) states:

"The summit is open to the public, but it is not a conference,
exhibition or other audience-oriented event. Rather, it is an
opportunity for Ubuntu developers -- who usually collaborate online --
to work together in person on specific tasks." I, however, still plan to
check it out, as I'm sure others will.

According to our wiki, we're not yet registered as a team, is that still
true?

Perhaps we could do the same (Ubucon Boston!), or at least host a
welcoming/after party. We will probably have a greater turn out if we
host it after rather then before when everyone will be arriving and
wanting to rest before the convention. We could also have an Ubuntu
awareness/install feast session where people are encouraged to bring a
friend.

Let me know how you guys feel so we can throw this in full throttle and
get something together. Perhaps we'll even lure some ubuntu developers.
