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 <a href="http://www.paddymaguires.com/adelaide/theelephant">The Elephant</a> given the free wifi good meals and cheap drinks. If there's interest let me know when/where you'd like to meet.
