You gotta fight, for your right, to partaaaaay
(unashamed Beastie Boys reference for the title of this post)
Well, we are steaming ahead to the Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon release, and I am hoping that each of you, my special Internet friends, are testing the beta and submitting your bugs. If not, read this.
In the meantime, it is also full-steam ahead in terms of organising release parties around the world. So far we have 34 parties organised, which is awesome, but we need more, more, more! Organising a party is simple – find a place to hold it (a university room, pub, house, restaurant etc), promote it and have a great time. You can find a simple guide to how to get started here and when you make the big-party-love happen, add it to this page.
So, lets have a look at the current party list (details of venues and dates here):
USA
- New Mexico
- Ohio
- Louisiana
- Maryland
- Massachusetts
- Missouri
- Indiana
- South Dakota
- Georgia

OMG. Last night I had a nightmare where you sang the Locomotion!
So if anyone complains about the title, it could’ve been worse. Much worse, trust me.

I finally switched. Everything looks good, except for wifi – had to resort to using ndiswrapper, what a shame. Otherwise it’s nice and fast, and the new gnome is simply amazing.
