Hopefully there will be a release party for Lucid here as I was unable to to attend the last one for Karmic. I'm afraid I don't have the time myself to organise one, anyone interested? I know a few non-list members who would likely attend. Cheers, -- Sam Jackson -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
