IRC meeting minutes and the 12.04 Release Party.

Sun Apr 15 20:12:25 UTC 2012

The last release party was in Cactus Jacks, Millennium Walkway followed by Porterhouse. Unfortunately the restaurant didn't suit everyones budget. This I feel is one advantage of a geeknic - you can bring your own food or take your pick from a good variety of stalls.

I agree though, a backup is not a bad idea. Any suggestions?

Tom.
