IMHO, in a quest to replace Windows it has gone the Windows way by introducing malicious features like Spyware[1] in it. So personally I don't use it or recommend it to anyone, moreover for me Debian Release party was more of community event, to celebrate the release of a universal GNU/Linux OS which has been there for a long time, almost 20 years, with most of things taken care by volunteers while Ubuntu is more of the Canonical thing now. So IMHO I don't think we can have a release party together, for them. Don't want to start a Debian v/s Ubuntu debate, here because IMHO they are incomparable, with the kind of purposes for which they are developed.
