Thanks for putting yourself forward. We touched on this on IRC, but a follow up. I have been trying to get info out of Canonical about the party they are organising, and the UK community are welcome to attend. They are looking for a venue to house >200 people, as the last release venue was a touch cramped. I have been told i'll get confirmation details next week. One reason the community hasn't wanted to organise in London, is that Canonical invariably will - and blow our plans out of the water. It is worth noting that we had a release party before Canonical, and some of the top brass turned up to ours :). I'm expecting the Canonical bash to just be an evening/night event, if you are keen enough - it would be great to organise a day time event for those that can 'get away' during the working week. For people that don't live in London, regional release parties would still be a "total win" - However, I will be inclined to travel to the London one (~230 mile drive!), unless they don't clash - which means multiple parties!
