Hi all, Take a moment to look forward to your impending long weekend of seasonal festivities with close family, distant relatives, and the not-quite-distant-enough ones. Think of the present opening, the joy of seeing another pair of socks, the screams of rage that inform you that Ben 10 was last years hot thing and a completely inappropriate present to have given this year. Just think about the meal of curiously burned stuffing inside a not-quite-cooked turkey which you will then smother with cranberry jam for no apparent culinary purpose. Spare a moment to consider the bowl of sprouts and the fun of watching adults attempting to fool children into thinking they are edible. Perhaps after the meal someone will suggest that you all play a board game together, won’t that be fun! The best you can hope for is that they will all be asleep before the Dr Who Christmas special starts.
If these thoughts of Christmas have left you in need of a stiff drink, don’t worry you are not alone, and we have a plan. The Ubuntu UK Christmas event will be held *tonight*, December 21st from 7PM at The Hub Islington http://islington.the-hub.net/public/ Hub Islington is just a 2 minute walk from Angel tube station (Northern Line). Address: Hub Islington, Candid Arts Trust, 5 Torrens Street, London, EC1V 1NQ, UK It is through a dark little door on the right at the end of Torrens Street and up loads of stairs, I will put a sign on the door. You can register your attendance here http://ubunt.eu/c2 (launchpad account required - or just turn up). We would invite you to bring some Christmas and/or Ubuntu themed nibbles and optionally a bottle of something to ward off the cold (there will be a £5 collection on the door to pay for the room hire). Take an evening out to relax with friends and steel yourself for what is to come.
