Ubuntu Bangladesh organised a release party today celebrating the release of Karmic Koala at IBAIS University in Dhanmondi, Dhaka.
The program started at 3 PM and continued till 7 PM. Lenin bhai was the main speaker of the event, who started by talking about the features of Ubuntu and what it is capable of. Unlike our earlier release parties, today's program was less formal and concentrated on getting user feedbacks. The participants introduced themselves and shared their user experiences, talked about what they like about Ubuntu and what more they expect. They also asked various questions, mostly related to problems they are facing. Jamil bhai of Ankur talked a bit about Bangla localisation efforts and issues related to it. Shabab bhai later gave a lecture on various issues relating to Ubuntu and OSS. He also talked about various resources that are available for learning Linux and how to get help when needed. Ubuntu 9.10 and Ubuntu Ultimate Edition desktops were displayed to the audience, and copies of Ubuntu were distributed. A group of volunteers from CSE department of IBAIS University worked very hard to make this event a success, and we're extremely thankful to them.
