TrustyRelease
|
We will be celebrating the release of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) which is happening in April, 2014. Physical and virtual (IRC & other) Trusty events will be scheduled. Each release cycle a number of efforts happen focused around the release. Globally, UbuntuDeveloperWeek and UbuntuGlobalJam events happen a month or two before the release focusing on new contributors. Parties (listed below) and UbuntuOpenWeek happen near or after the release. If you are thinking about organizing one, BuildingCommunity/RunningReleaseParty has some hints more hints are described in a video how to do a release party. "... can be organized in literally 10 minutes."
