Canonical web services get stage fright ahead of Ubuntu Summit - The Register

Landscape is also impacted, though email and the company's Discourse forums remain available.

The timing coincides with tomorrow's Ubuntu Summit, an online event scheduled for November 12-13. The disruption creates an awkward situation as Canonical prepares to host its second Summit this year, labeled 26.04 and 26.10 to mirror Ubuntu's release cycle.

Recent disruptions

Canonical suffered a DDoS attack last month, though the cause of this current outage has not been confirmed. The company is still experimenting with the format of the Ubuntu Summit, which has been primarily online with a small in-person audience in its London offices.

The Ubuntu Summit's timetable, hosted on the Discourse site, lists several talks on AI and agentic coding, continuing the AI-heavy program from June's event. The Register's FOSS desk won't be attending in person for the first time since the 2022 Summit in Prague.
