Karmic Koala Release Party

Ubuntu 9.10, codename "Karmic Koala" will be released on the 29th October 2009.

Organisation

Date and Location

to be announced

• dsto: I suggest ZH, mid November. I wish we could arrange a joint two-day business/end-user/community event with separate 'locations': 'Stammtisch', Talks, Meetings, ...

• For Zürich, I'm 99% sure we could have the location at the ZHdK (Sihlquai 131, near Hauptbahnhof) again. If we want to go more business-y, I might be able to book a few conference rooms at the main building instead, but I would have to talk to the security officer about whether opening the main building doors to the public on weekends is possible. Let me know (ramon.cahenzli@zhdk.ch).

• I have an offer by Martin Gaffner from Puzzle in Bern, where we already had a previous party some years ago. I think we should definitely consider this offer, since we didn't have a good party in Bern lately. I will post more on the mailing list in a little moment.

Material

• CDs can be ordered if the party is not too close to the release date

Ideas

dsto:

• I could contribute some stories of people who migrated to Ubuntu.
• or: about concerns and inhibitors for Ubuntu on the desktop - and how to respond.

Posters / Fliers designs

We will need good artwork. I will get in touch with the poster artist from last time, let's hope she is willing to help us on this one too! -- myriam 2009-08-10 17:56:44

Press and other contacts

A press release is needed, we will coordinate this in the future IRC meetings.
