Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Release party?
Myself and S0rceress0 plan on going to Portland for the release party if it goes ahead. It gives us a chance for a mini vacation and a chance to explore some of the fine craft...eh...beverage places as we're up there. It also gives us an excuse to return to the great Ethiopian restaurant we visited last time.

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Release party?
My only reason for saying to not do dueling events is so we aren't doing an event in salem that only 10 people show up to because everyone already went to (or plans to go) to the PDX version. I'll plan to attend a 16.04 event in either portland or salem. I think a poll is a good idea, but don't make it a Would you rather go to an Ubuntu event in portland or salem (because obviously more people would rather go to the closer event). I'd rather ask Would you go to a 16.04 release party in salem if there wasn't a release party in PDX. We did an event at free geek for the 7.10 release I think (it was our first event). I've not been back since, so IDK if they have improved their venue but IIRC there was no setup for talks (projector).

Perhaps polling might be a good idea? Then we would know which location might be more succesful in terms of turnout? Also it doesn't have to be downtown we could do FreeGeek and Mozilla can cover the food and drinks there too. Perhaps I could also see if Mozilla will just cover me a car rental down and come that way and do food/bev in Salem?

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] Release party?
Don't be pedantic when you knew what I meant XD Canonical collects the money and is in charge of approving or denying community requests for that money. As a general rule, you should have no problem when it comes to funding an event, as long as you're clear on the costs. The other thing that I would say is that you can ABSOLUTELY get a jam pack full of goodies. Make sure to ask for that separate from the request for the money. If you need help with this, let me know.
