Come hang out, grab some food and (if old enough) grab a beer or two. Help us celebrate the release of Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope.

We need some responses here from our local people to indicate that they will be going. I know i will be! I'll make sure to inform my father (organizer of meetings in butler) and my brother (semi-fan) and one of my good geek friends. :KS
I wish I was still out in Pittsburgh. When I go back to visit, my friends always take me to Fox and Hound. I am going to see if there is a release party in Delaware. I know they have one in Philadelphia, but I'm not sure where it will be held at.
The Philly release part will be at the Manayunk Diner. Here's specifics.... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PennsylvaniaTeam/EventsTeam/PhillyJauntyRelease
I would love to attend, but can't drive my car down there, for it is falling apart. Grr, such is life.
It would be nice to hear from some on this thread who are going :)
I am going, although I missed last year. My party will be of three. You will know me since I look like a metalhead. :guitar:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PennsylvaniaTeam/EventsTeam/PhillyJauntyRelease Thanks for the information on the Philadelphia Release Party. Now I need to get my kitchen pass
I have to say that i was hoping for more local people to attend the party :(. I did notice that it has a plug on the WPLUG wiki website. Hopefully we get some linux guys and gals out there. I know they exist but probably just never saw that this event is even available.

Keep in mind that not everyone who is coming is active on the forums :) I know of at least one confirmed person who is coming and hasn't posted to this thread, I'm sure there are others.
As it turns out, I WILL be able to attend. Work officially cancelled my trip. I know of about 5 people (myself included) who plan to attend.

Yea thats true. I also noticed that they posted this to the local LUG's calendar. Maybe that will grow it a bit. A few years ago i couldn't imaging being so excited about the release of an operating system.
Any excuse to have a party. :popcorn:
Yes, I will be their as well. I will head out after work. It will be great to see everyone there.

Good to hear that you will be there. People still use ICQ?
Good question dark_harmonics (lol)? I just created an account with ICQ just for ubuntu forums. I didn't feel like listing the other clients I use.
The party seemed to go well. I was surprised at the turnout. One guy ^ even got a prize. ;)
Yes, and I was that guy who got the prize. I would like to thank Beth for the nice new piece of flair (that was very awesome of you). I would like to say thanks to TimBosse for setting up the arrangements. I had a great time talking with all of you. I saw some familiar faces and I saw some newer faces. We had some individuals from WPLUG (Western Pennsylvania Linux Users Group) who joined the party party as well. Now I know their wasn't a set list of things to do at the party but more open discussion. I just like the idea of individuals getting together who share the same interest in ubuntu or Linux in general and having fun while doing so. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves and I hope to see everyone at future ubuntu release parties.
Did anyone get pictures? If so, you can send them over to me (lyz@ubuntu.com) with a name you wish them to be credited with and I'll put them up in the Ubuntu Pennsylvania Gallery :)
Wish I could have gone to this! I've been out of Pittsburgh for awhile, but will be back in town again come fall.
