Cooking a new party in Bordeaux... (3) : The final touch

Now that the new and amazing Hardy Heron (aka Ubuntu 8.04 LTS) is out, this also means for us that the Hardy Release Party is imminent. More precisely, it's tomorrow ;) Since a few days, we (the Giroll) are planning the last details which could turn it in a really successful event. The base install scheme to apply, the way we will be spread to welcome people better, contents of the webradio during the party and the presentation, filling a contact sheet for each visitor to be sure he/she found all she/he wanted to find and got all the replies to her/his questions, we really have discussed of a lot of things! And tomorrow... it will be the day we will know if all will rock ;)

To access the webradio (in french) to follow the event during this day, ending by a talk from 7pm to 9pm (GMT, that is to say 9pm to 11pm local time), you can enter the following link in your favorite audio stream reader : http://radio.giroll.org:8000/ . You can contribute to the talk (in french), give some ideas, encouragement or experiences (in french, but in english too) by calling +33581314334 (price of a normal call to a french geographical number) and typing 1 to contact an operator, 2 to leave a message, and by tying 3 you can listen to the radio too.

Lets the whole party rock !

Cooking a new party in Bordeaux...

Hello All ! The Giroll is planning a new Ubuntu Party Event !!


Saturday, April 26th will be the day of this event. Two days after Hardy will be hopefully released, we're planning all the goodness of the previous Party we made for Gutsy, but with the experience we got from it, making us to plan to do more things this time. For instance, we are discussing about presenting all the new features of Hardy before beginning the install part of this festive day, and making a bigger place for the Frets on Fire game and talks about Ubuntu and its derivatives.

The organization of this event is just beginning, so I can't give you lots of details. But if you want to be involved with this, mail us at contact_at_giroll_dot_org, of mail me directly, getting my mail from the launchpad (see at user kalon33). If you can come to Bordeaux easily, come on one (or more !) of the Thursdays before this event (the earlier will be the better if you want to discuss about main decisions and help us to plan different parts of this event) from 6pm to 8:30pm, at the ECM (Centre d'animation St-Pierre). Thanks by advance for the help you could give to us planning this, we would be very happy to welcome you and we need you to make it really really rock !!

More details about this event will come soon :)

Here we are, the future Ubuntu LTS version will be the Hardy Heron !

According to Jono Bacon's Blog, the Ubuntu Community Manager, the next LTS release of Ubuntu (the future 8.04) will be the Hardy Heron. Let's make it the best version ever done by us, to progress in the bug #1 solving ! Each version is such a great challenge that the community raises each time... The next will surely be one of the greatest, with KDE 4 (but not by default, in universe though), and some new GNOME technologies, and maybe some surprises from the Telepathy developers (VOIP and file transfert in empathy). Such great things that we all waiting for... Let's finish the Gutsy Gibbon and then make the Heron fly !
