[ubuntu-uk] [Welsh] Confirmed Welsh Release Party

2009-04-12 Thread Christopher Swift
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I am emailing to notify those who do not know that the Welsh Team has
organised their Jaunty Release party on Saturday April 25th in the
capital, Cardiff. We have a poster designed by littletank, which can be
viewed on my website at http://ianto.ch/images/flyer.png however that is
just the starting venue.

After much discussion in the IRC meeting, it was decided that there will
be two venues, one after the other for reasons which I shall now
explain. Our first venue, listed on the poster is due to the fact that
some people are either too young or do not feel welcome in a drinking
environment and as such, Starbucks was a viable choice; we geeks are
renown for our coffee habits. Secondly, it has been suggested that the
posters will attract some who may not have previously come due to it
being in a nice and plain accessible shop such as Starbucks, I was not
personally sure how that works but I think that it will so please don't
email me back asking how ;-). After 7pm however,  we will be moving onto
The Central Bar, Cardiff CF10 3BW for a more socially drinkable location
for those who are able and it is like that those who can't will then be
able to tag along and have a cola, juice or something similar. It is
possible to buy food in the bar if one chooses to get some from there.

All people are welcome and are invited to attend our release party in
the capital of Wales, especially those who live in or are close to Wales
itself. Also due to the fact that both the wiki and the team name are in
Welsh, the main language being used will be English, so please don't be
put off with the idea that people will be conversing to each other in
Welsh if you are an English speaker who may come over and may not then
understand what is actually happening. And at the same time, if there
are two Welsh speakers there, then by all means, choose your preferred
tongue especially if /*ti'n moin gallu siarad Cymraeg!*/ you want to be
able to speak Welsh!

I'd like to get a general headcount for the day, so if possible could
you email me back to this address either directly or through this
mailing list so that I can get a rough estimate and/or give you
directions for the (two) venue(s). My mobile number is however listed on
the poster too if directions are required, however I cannot make
outwards calls or texts momentarily.


With kind regards,
Christopher Swift.

I heard this yeah.  I thought that the origin one made linux sound like some 
disease.  I didn't like it.

But the winner was great :D.

Happy easter,

Just in case you missed it, the Linux Foundation announced the Winner
last week [1].  I thought the winning video was brilliant [2], not to
mention the spectacular runner up, The Origin [3] :-)

Hope everyone had a great Easter!

Done.

Once you finalise the poster, I'll upload and link to that too.

Cheers,

Very strange. I created it on Intrepid so I'm surprised there's a difference.

the image of the world and clock are bugged out (on jaunty at least).
I'm gonna guess the rectangles of white are supposed to be glares,
see: http://i41.tinypic.com/bg7ib8.png

I took the output of pdf2svg and fixed it (hopefully).

[ubuntu-uk] Manchester Release Party Poster

2009-04-12 Thread Lucy
As promised in an earlier thread, I've created a poster for
advertising the Manchester Ubuntu 9.04 Release Party (over 40 sign-ups
already, we're doing well!).

It's 9.8MB in size and available at
http://lucybridges.co.uk/JackalopeReleaseParty.pdf

It's copied from a poster for the Irish release party at:
http://spreadubuntu.neomenlo.org/en/poster/jaunty-release-party

Please feel free to spread it around!

There is a slight problem with it though - because we need to have
everyone sign up in advance I needed to put a simple URL that people
could go to on the poster, so I've used the ubuntu-uk.org address.
Could someone put a link to the release party details (for both London
and Manchester to be fair) on the site pretty please?

If anyone wants the source files and SVG please let me know.

Lucy

That's a cool poster, but before it goes out we need to make sure
there's a clear link on the Ubuntu UK homepage. Using the U-UK address
was a good idea, means it's a little more focused :)
