A release party is... well, a party! We celebrate the release of the latest
version of Ubuntu.

Before party:
* Create an event on the loco.ubuntu.com portal (I can help here).
* Announce the event on local lug mailing lists, post on facebook/google+/
twitter. Provide the link to the event page on loco.ubuntu.com, so that they
can indicate their availability.

During the party:
* Introduce the latest version of Ubuntu, its new features, etc.
* Distribute the '.iso' files. Ubuntu (Canonical) stopped shipping CDs to
individuals and now only approved LoCo community get the CDs. So while we are
in the process of reapproval, we do not get any goodies to distribute, sorry.
* Help install Ubuntu to people who get their laptops/mobile devices.
* Last, but not the least... have fun! Cake/beer helps. :-D
* Take lots of pics.

After the party:
* Make a detailed report of the event (Who introduced, how many copies of iso
file distributed, how many people installed Ubuntu, other specifics).
* Upload pics and report on the community wiki page. Or send it to us
(contacts AT ubuntu-in DOT info). We will do the needful.


Rigved is conducting a party here in Mumbai [0]. I think he won't mind giving you
some pointers.


Keep up the good work. :-)
