 * We've had a number of release parties, Hardy, Intrepid [http://pix.ie/czajkowski/album/329391], and Jaunty [http://pix.ie/czajkowski/album/341386]. People who were not at the event came up asking us about Ubuntu. We were showing them the system on our machines and giving them CDs and information on how to contact us. Our numbers grew from just a few people to around 30 people coming along. These ranged from going to the pub to going for dinner with new people and burning CD's for anyone who was looking for the latest release.  * We've had a number of release parties, Hardy, Intrepid [http://pix.ie/czajkowski/album/329391], and [[http://pix.ie/czajkowski/album/341386 |Jaunty]].

 * Global BugJam [http://pix.ie/czajkowski/album/335130] like so many teams around the world, the Irish Team held its first one this year. We were fortunate to use DIT [http://dit.ie/] and a good turn, we had different levels of participation from normal bug triaging to learning how bug tracking works to writing patches to fix bugs. The day ran successfully partially due to us running a trial day two weeks prior to the main event.
