Hi everybody, After last week's IRC meeting I halfway promised to write a summary and post to the list, however I am running out of time and I don't have the session log at hand, so it will be short.
First we talked about the FrOSCamp 2010, which now is history. I will leave it to somebody else to report from the Ubuntu stand point of view, anyway I think it went well and was a fun event. Then we talked about the Release Party. The Ubuntu 10.10 release is now a little more than 2 weeks away. We discussed two sort of events: 1. An informal meet-up among ourselves, without much agenda or advertising (like the 9.10 party in Bern) 2. A "conference" style event with talks and demos, addressing "normal" people (like the 8.10 party in Zurich) This year there is the extra gimmick/buzz about the exact release date 10.10.10 (which is a Sunday). It would therefore be fun to celebrate this day at the same time as many other parties around the world and maybe setup some videoconferencing and be part of a global event. Since this is coming up so soon, it would likely be a type 1 party. We /can/ run both type of events (at different days), obviously type 2 needs a lot more planning and manpower. The classic argument for having the RP some weeks after the release is the availability of official CDs. For a type 1 event this is not important. Personally I find it OK to hand out 10.04 LTS CDs in a type 2 event at this time, since I think 10.04 is getting into good shape with past months' updates. So what do you Swiss Ubunteros think? Do we have the enthusiasm (and basically a place to stay) to quickly make the 10.10.10 party? Do we have the drive to plan a "public" Ubuntu 10.10 event a little later with advertising and a real programme? Hopefully we can have a good discussion on the list (some of us might meet at Turrican Days?) and even start some planning before next week's IRC meeting.
