This has a few interesting implications, firstly the final code will actually be available on Friday 8th or thereabouts so as not to make the Canonical release team work over the weekend, this means we should in theory have access to the final .isos to use on the release day. Canonical will no doubt organise a London party in a bar somewhere which is great, but we can do different things, such as install fests, geeknics, jams and whatever other things we can come up with. It would be fantastic to find some kind of venue in every major city to do a release day install party, so not just a night in a pub, but more of a bring-a-box and install Ubuntu on it whilst chatting and eating cocktail sausages type thing. Of course it is up to you what you do, maybe little samosas or perhaps pizza slices could be used instead of sausages. So the things on your task list are: Find a venue, perhaps a school or university, community hall or similar. Somewhere that people can get to, which probably means in a city or largeish town. Make sure you have plenty of power sockets Arrange sausages or other tasty snacks Advertise it here and elsewhere, perhaps posters in libraries and schools in the area More ideas on release related activities are welcome and if you have half a plan but can't quite get it all together then let everyone know, perhaps someone else can help. I think it is probably time for a biscuit about now. Alan. Hello Alan, This sounds a great idea. I ran an install fest in a pub for the lucid release and got a good crowd, however would like to get more people coming next time. Some of my colleagues and I are building up connections with some of the society groups at a London University so an install fest may be a good candidate to organise with them. Its early days, but I'll let you know if we can get things arranged in time.
