Party like it’s October 2008!   no comments

Posted at 1:00 am in Uncategorized

Every six months, we are graced with a new Ubuntu release.  This means, every six months, we get to enjoy release notes, reviews (this recently dugg review is a good read) , new features, bugs, and parties!  These gatherings are a great opportunity to meet other local Ubuntu users.  Release parties are often organized and executed by LoCo teams, making them a perfect opportunity to meet your LoCo and get involved.  Guests and friends are, of course, welcome.

What to expect

  • Lots of laughs
  • A bit of awkwardness
  • Food and beverage
  • A stack of Live CDs
  • Lots of memories
  • Anticipation for the next party and the beginning of a 6 month countdown

Head over to the Ubuntu wiki for a list of release parties around the world.  If you can’t find a party near you, feel free to start your own!  Every party on that list was started by a member of the Ubuntu community who couldn’t find an already-planned party nearby.
