||<>|| We are celebrating the [[LucidReleaseSchedule|release of Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)]] scheduled for April, 2010. Lucid is a Long Term Support ([[LTS]]) release. Physical and virtual (IRC & other) events are scheduled. Each release cycle a number of efforts happen around the release. Globally, [[UbuntuDeveloperWeek]] and [[UbuntuGlobalJam]] events happen a month or two before and focus on contributing to the release. Parties (listed below) and [[UbuntuOpenWeek]] happen near or after the release. If you are thinking about organzing one, [[BuildingCommunity/RunningReleaseParty]] has some hints and a video [[http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/6181333|how to do a release party.]] "... can be organized in literally 10 minutes." == Lucid Release Parties == We have planned Lucid release parties at IRC meetings on [[CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/10April04|April 4th]] and [[CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/10April18|April 18th]] and on the mailing list.
