Actually, since this release party last month, I have the idea in my head to write something like a guide on "how to organise a perfect release party". Instead of reinventing anything from scratch I thought I'd first look on what's going. I don't want to digg into this organisational problem and I'm not sure whether I have enought time to read all of your e-mail exchange. I just need some up do date information on the ubuntu marketing strategy. Is there any webpage or document that contains anything usable?
