Steam fans will want to keep an eye on next weeks Ubuntu Developer Summit.

As well as Valve rocking up on the event for a talk at the summit on Monday, an interesting listing has popped on the ‘Open Steam Works’ site titled “Steam Linux UDS Beta”.

Three games appear to be listed for inclusion with the UDS beta:

Serious Sam 3
Portal
Team Fortress 2

It's happening next week guys!

Eff yeah!

Been waiting for it all October. Already had my vacation planned for the last week of October and that is when they decide to do it. No luck at all.

I just hope the external beta isn't limited to the Ubuntu developers (first wave).

That wouldn't be a terrible thing - there are a few good games that're also on Mac - and any additional games is an improvement

Good start in the right direction, hopefully this will convince developers to create native linux games, I don't see a problem with non steam versions of games either with current online activation drm.

Linux FTW
