The highly anticipated Mobile World Congress (MWC) event will start tomorrow, February 24, in Barcelona, Spain. As expected, Canonical will be there to showcase the latest version of its Ubuntu operating system for mobile devices, dubbed “Ubuntu - the human touch.”

Mark Shuttleworth posted a few minutes ago on Google+ a photo of Canonical's booth, which will be located in the App Planet Hall 8.1, on stand 8.1E49 (http://mwc.eventfloorplans.co.uk/hall-8-1). The booth is definitely bigger and more beautiful than the ones used at MWC 2012 and 2013.

This is Canonical’s third year at MWC, where the company will try to prove once and for all that the Ubuntu phone device will become reality in the very near future, especially after revealing its partnerships with Meizu and BQ. More details can be found in the official announcement.
