Hardy Heron 8.04 LTS Release Parties

The Arizona LoCo team will be hosting two release parties for Hardy Heron. One will be in Phoenix and one in Tucson. Our team offers support for Arizona users in our IRC channel, #ubuntu-us-az on the freenode.net server. We offer a fun, friendly, and supportive atmosphere where you can learn and ask questions about Ubuntu, Linux, and Open Source alternatives.
