-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We discussed the idea of having a Lucid release party in Sydney during the Loco Meeting. I believe this would be a great idea & an excellent opportunity to promote Ubuntu. If we all bring a friend or two it could be a great day. It would also be the perfect opportunity to meet Sydney loco team members.
If we promote it on our website, on the wiki, the planet, etc, we could *maybe* even have a mini install-fest if the venue permits & people are interested. I haven't been to a release party before so I don't really know what would be involved. It seems like there is some good general info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseParties & https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/RunningReleaseParty I would like to know what has happened at previous release parties (not only in Sydney) to get some sort of idea as to what is expected. Also, more specifically for those of us in Sydney, do we team up with SLUG for our release parties? We would also need to think about a venue. Where have previous release parties been held? It was also agreed that the venue would need to be "family friendly". In the meeting there were quite a few suggestions such as: Domain Centennial Park North Sydney Reserve Olympic Park Parramatta Park I believe that a park type of setting would allow for greater scalability, the only thing that I am worried about if we do have the release party in a park is that it may be cancelled due to bad weather. Another consideration might be how close the venue is to public transport as some of us (like myself) may not be able to drive to the venue. Does anyone else have any other suggestions for a good venue? If we want to start becoming more active, I believe that the upcoming Lucid release would be an excellent opportunity for us to spread the word. What does everyone else think?
