Re: [ubuntu-uk] Hardy Heron Release Party
Looks like a nice pub... shame the website is so awful, wouldn't have taken
much to put some colour in...
/* Pembury Tavern style */
body {
background: #CBCDF5;
font-family: helvetica;
}
img {
border: 0;
}
table {
text-align: center;
}
Presumably the "Pembury Tavern Style" is "minimal" ;-)

The Uni has minimal facilities for partying, there's a big hall for the demo day, and a reception area with a few drinks machines. Apart from that not a lot.

Would giving out a WEP key on an individual basis help at all ?

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Hardy Heron Release Party
That's weird - the first half of my email vanished, so the second half didn't make much sense! I was saying that we may not have wireless access, but hope to have wired access for the demo machines through our router, which links to the Uni's internet.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Hardy Heron Release Party
Our main concern about wireless was that people might abuse it - not members of Ubuntu-UK of course, but we will be advertising it to the public. And we can't risk offending the Uni at the moment as we'll need a good reference for any potential landlords. I'll see if I can get round this - but you'd have to supply your own party hats. :) Dianne Reuby Collections Manager Museum of Computing @ Swindon http://www.museum-of-computing.org.uk On Sat, 2008-03-22 at 01:08 +, Sean Miller wrote: > ERM... > > 24th April - Hardy Release > 26th April - Swindon Ubuntu Demo Day > > Anybody see a potential opportunity here?!?!

Assuming I could attend I would be coming all the way from Harwich and would have to try and beg some Colchester friends (you know who you are) to let me stay on their sofa (as the last Colchester train is a lot later than the last Harwich train).

[ubuntu-uk] Hardy Heron Release Party
Hi all, It's that time of year again, to talk about release parties. Hardy Heron (8.04) has now reached 'Beta' phase, and with stable announcement being planned for April 24th we need to organise the festive celebration. Ubuntu-UK had a very successful Gutsy Gibbon (7.10) party[1]. This was held in the Pembury Tavern, Hackney[2]. This was quite a good location, Linux friendly and free wifi. I expect some disagreement on the location, and therefore suggest multiple parties - one up north, and one in the south. I travelled around 4 hours to attend the London one, and consider that as far as I can reasonably travel without a /planned/ overnight stay. I will buy drinks for anyone who travels over two hours to attend the celebration. :) Kind Regards, Dave Walker [1] http://daviey.mooo.com/ubuntu-uk/ubuntu-uk-release-party.html [2] http://www.individualpubs.co.uk/pembury/ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
