The Ubuntu-QC team would like to invite all those who have been eagerly awaiting the release of Ubuntu 9.04 "The Jaunty Jackalope" to join their fellow Ubuntu enthusiasts on Thursday, April 30 at 1800h in Quebec City and Montreal for simultaneous events. Welcome the latest release of your favorite distro with your fellow travellers on the path to software freedom! Other parties are being organized through the province. See more details below. Ubuntu is a community developed operating system that is perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. Whether you use it at home, at school or at work Ubuntu contains all the applications you'll ever need, from word processing and email applications, to web server software and programming tools. Ubuntu is an African word meaning 'Humanity to others', or 'I am what I am because of who we all are'. The Ubuntu distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world. This event is open to users of any OS, distribution, or language. New users will have the opportunity to meet and speak with veterans. It's like a free car mechanic! With beer and food!
