Natty Release Party for Adelaide? Tried doing this last time and either
nobody rocked up or I didn't see anyone being techy enough to assume they
were there to talk Ubuntu. I'm wondering if anyone is interested in catching
up to celebrate the new release? I am OK with any location in CBD of
Adelaide, though I will suggest again The
Elephant<http://www.paddymaguires.com/adelaide/theelephant>given the
*free wifi* good meals and cheap drinks. If there's interest let me know
when/where you'd like to meet.
Cheers,
- Sam
