hardy release party

2008-04-19 Thread Sebastian Spiess
hi all,
anyone for a hardy release gathering?

When I am correct release is on the 25th.

I liked how it went last time when mark took the lead to organise but it seems 
like no one in the Sydney are is interested :-(

Cheers Sebastian

 Considering that Hardy is an LTS release, all the more reason for a
 release party. Of course, we don't know the release date yet, but it
 might at least be worth us thinking about how to celebrate its release.
 The release schedule wiki page [1] says its going to be released on
 the 24th of April.
 
 I don't think that date can necessarily be banked on. Dapper was delayed by 6 
 weeks.
 

I too think we can't nail it down to that date by now.

Personally I liked the place where we met the last time for the gutsy release. 
Mark Lambert organised that when I am correct.

We could have a combined event release party + install feast which should be 
not on the precise release date so that the 
release is available prior to the event.

Installfests tend to work best when the software being promoted is already 
being used by the people running the event. That way, there are people 
on-hand who are aware of the behaviours (and possible quirks) of the software 
in question, and hence are better equipped to help those who may be less 
experienced. It also allows time for the software to settle and receive some 
bugfix updates.
