Hi, I've been asked to forward this message, it's looking like we are going to have some great release parties!
Kind Regards, Dave Walker ********************************************************************** I just want to let you know and remind you about Hull LUG's Ubuntu release party which is taking place this Saturday 31st October 2009, in the Old Grey Mare, 193 Cottingham Road, Hull (Opposite Hull University Campus). This will be the first Ubuntu release party that we've hosted (in fact one of the first to be held outside London). The LUG's geeks (as well as the LUG’s ordinary users) will be on hand to demonstrate and show off the new version of Ubuntu, as well as swap tips and hacks with you. There will be a variety of hardware on display to show the versatility of Ubuntu, and to allow people to have a ‘tinker’. The usability of Ubuntu (and Linux) will be fully demonstrated as we will be demonstrating how to breathe new life into old hardware when they install Ubuntu 9.10 onto a very old desktop, and get it hooked up to the internet during the course of the afternoon. For anyone wanting to try Ubuntu for themselves, free installation discs will be available for people to take home. The party will be going on until at least 5pm, after that there will be a few of us hanging around and more than willing to talk to anyone who’ll listen about the wonders of Ubuntu, Linux, as well as free & open source software in general. Of course the event is not all down to Hull LUG, but also thanks to Craig and his staff at the Old Grey Mare for their continued support & for supplying the venue. Also thanks to Paul at Peckhams.com for providing a mountain of blank cd’s which we're going to magically turn into Ubuntu 9.10 install discs. We've had a lot of interest from LUGs around the regions, and it's looking to be an excellent afternoon, and we'd be really happy for you all to come along Regards Dave Links Hull LUG: http://hulllug.org Old Grey Mare on Google: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/place?hl=en&source=hp&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=old+grey+mare+hull&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=old+grey+mare&hnear=hull&cid=1066407198534149890 <http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/place?hl=en&source=hp&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=old+grey+mare+hull&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=old+grey+mare&hnear=hull&cid=1066407198534149890> -- Dave Harding Liaison Secretary - Hull LUG http://hulllug.org Twitter & Identi.ca - @hulluklug -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
