Jaunty Jackalope Ubuntu 9.04 Release Party

Go here to see all the details of the New Mexico Release Party. Be sure and check to see what items are needed and what's been completed.

For every Ubuntu release we like to organize parties all over the world. At these parties everyone is welcome and we get together to celebrate, meet new friends and often introduce people new to Ubuntu to our community and our Operating System. Release parties are not only a great way to meet people but they are a lot of fun! We already have a listing on the party page.

New Mexico Team Web Page

Now that the New Mexico Team has achieved official status, Canonical will host a webpage for us. This wiki page will serve as a place to brainstorm ideas for the webpage. Feel free to contribute. For more information regarding LoCo webpages, check out the LoCoCreatingWebsite page.
