John Original Message Hi all, Ladies and Gentleman who love and adore the world most lovable and adorable Operating System, Ubuntu, we plan on releasing Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex on October 30th. Now, this release is a pretty special release because not only do we kick out another kick-ass Ubuntu, but October 20th is Ubuntu’s 4th birthday! As such, it is time to par-taaay. Seriously. The Beastie Boys faught for your right to partaaay, so show some dignity and respect to these rights, and get out there and do it. So, what is the skinny, I hear you ask? Well, I think it is time for us to put our collective minds together and organise an incredible series of release parties all over the world. On our last release, we had over 60 parties, largely organised by our incredible worldwide LoCo community, and I would love to see us hit nearer to 100 parties for this release, particularly with a birthday to celebrate! Organising a party is pretty simple: Pick a date - I would recommend either Thu 30th October or the following weekend…Sat 1st Nov and Sun 2nd Nov. Pick a date when you can arrange for a bunch of Ubuntu enthusiasts to be in the same building. Pick a venue - this can be someone’s back yard, a pub, a university room, a school, a parking lot…wherever. They key thing is not the venue, it is the people. With a venue and date, you are all set to let the world know about it. Add your party to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseParties - this is the big list of Ubuntu release parties. :) Let the world know - blog about it, make up some fliers and put them in computers shops / libraries / cafes / educational establishments etc. Encourage a stack of people to come along to your party. :) We have a longer guide to organising a release party at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/RunningReleaseParty. You can also discuss organising your party on the ubuntu-event-planners mailing list (https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-event-planners). When it comes to running your party, there are a bunch of things you can do on the day/evening itself: * Have a cake - it is a birthday, after all! If you can’t bake a cake, find someone who can. :) * Hang out with other Ubuntu people, meet new faces and get to know each other. * You may want to perform installfests. * You may also want to organise a few talks and speeches for the event itself. * Why not make some merchandise to give out? Maybe some badges, stickers or t-shirts? Enjoy, and do post here when you organise a party! Jono Will there be more cake? Count me in for the party. I expect someone on here will suggest the Pembury Tavern as the location but it's not the most accessible place as it's not near a tube station. I vote +1 for De Hems again as the turn out was good last time. Sorry to spoil the party as such but i vote for the Pembury Arms, last time there was a wicked atmosphere cake,food all the usual suspects for a party, but for me the thing that swings it, is plenty of space, ( and socket outlets ) for an installfest. So thats 2 votes for this venue, me + 1 other. cheers!

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Bug Day
I'd love to join you all for a bug jam for either/both, SAt./ Sun.(Onanygiven date) at the Pembury, I am willing/flexible in terms of time, but fear that i will be of limited use thee as I am not a natural command line communicator. However would love the chance to be a shadow to someone who is, in order todevelop my command line Experience. Would there be space /patience / tolerance for one such as me? Thanks in advance.Leroy Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2008 12:51:27 +0100 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com Subject: Re: [ubuntu-uk] Bug Day Alan Pope wrote: Hi, Having asked around members of the Ubuntu UK community there has been quite a luke warm response to the idea of a bug jam (global one scheduled for 8th-10th August). I thought there might be something like 30-50 people interested in attending a physical event, but after discussion it seems that 10 is a more realistic figure. 10 people can be manageable, more so than 30 (looking on the bright side). I'm up for such an event. August is also a tricky month. Many people are on holiday, kids are off school, and generally people have their minds on other things. Traditionally many LUGs have lower turnouts at meetings in August than other months. Could leave it til September, after the holiday season. If a LUG is having a meet on that day then it might be good to turn up to that, and do the bug jamming there. The other option that is worth considering is the Pembury pub in London. We could go there on either Sat or Sun or both during the day. They have Wifi and plenty of space to set out laptops and jam. Local to me so I'll vote for the Pembury. Friendly, free software users, good beer. Very happy to check all their barrels for bugs. Am wondering if the good burghers of Hackney will be doing Sunday lunch though; Saturday during the day might be better.

Using your keen eye, look out for indications of Ubuntu use in every day life.

Of course points can only be awarded if you happened upon these things, and not if you personally influenced their use or placement. I guess many of us play this game subconciously really, but I think we should be more active in this sport, and promote its play. I had one of these today.. I got called into a workshop style meeting at $work where a representative from $large_software_vendor came in to talk about their $fantastic_product. He put up his laptop PC on the projector and in amongst the mess of icons on his Windows XP desktop I spotted an Ubuntu ISO image. Probably not worth many points in this game, but still, a spot is a spot! Have you spotted today? Cheers, Al. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/ Around a year ago I was having my hair cut, the barber and another guy were talking about this thing called Ubuntu - apparently it's like Windows but better. Made my day to hear it :-) How about putting your old/used/spare ShipIt CDs in interestingly amusing places? Kris I was once sat in the solid rock cafe while skiving off university when I overheard two lads talking about ubuntu. its pure good, its what all the hackers use to break into banks and stuff. I promptly looked over and he had his laptop out with a terminal open. We ended up talking and sorting out his definition of hackers. Hehe I have also seen it being used on the computers in lynx computing, a small pc shop in Glasgow. Many people in uni have also tried ubuntu out along with a few members at my workplace (apple).

I recently introduced my girlfriend to Ubuntu and dual booted both her laptop and desktop with WXP, Even though she had never heard of Ubuntu before, gets on very well with it, she likes it, and i like her very much too. The ¨spot¨ however concerns her interest being piqued by a conversation on the train ride home between two ¨geek types¨ who were discussing the use of Ubuntu by an (un named ) charity that they both work for. Any points of Ubuntu. here for that?
