Hi all! Cool to see already some items up on the schedule! Seems like every year the planning starts earlier (thanks to you, Myriam)! I will try to attend OpenExpo this time (I missed the last one), however as you all know I'm having a tough time with the German language. I am working on that however. So if you feel an English / French speaking Ubuntero can be of some help, I'll pre-book the date (need to make sure work+school scedules don't conflict). Regarding the release party, I'm also full of good will and am more than willing to lend a hand :) Straight to the hot topic: should we schedule two release parties this year as well? One in the German-speaking part and one in the French-speaking one? :) Hope you all had a happy new year and a good rest! - - Trib' Myriam Schweingruber wrote: > Hi all, > > Happy New Year everybody! > > Let's hope everybody has refueled their batteries as there is a lot of > work waiting for us this year again :) > > 1.
