Simply remember to: * [Register for free >](http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1511/registration) * [Learn how to join a session >](http://summit.ubuntu.com/getinvolved) Once you’ve done that, there are different ways of taking part online event via video hangouts and IRC: * **Participate or watch sessions** – everyone is welcome to participate and join a discussion to provide input or offer contribution. If you prefer to take a rear seat, that’s fine too. You can either subscribe to sessions, watch them on your browser or directly join a live hangout. * **Propose a session** – do you want to take a more active role in contributing to Ubuntu? Do you have a topic you’d like to discuss, or an idea you’d like to implement? Then you’ll probably want to propose a session to make it happen. There is still a week for accepting proposals, so why don’t you [go ahead and propose a session](http://summit.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/propose-a-session)? Looking forward to seeing you all at the Summit!
