Excellent suggestion. Perhaps a good date for a Hardy launch party would be 26 or 27 April 2008? That would give people time to download the ISO file and make copies for others whose Streamyx connection is - ahem - not so great. ;^) If we had the launch party on the release date, it might just be a download party - which is a bit less fun. Especially if we're relying on - ahem - Streamyx.

I believe the date is somewhere late next month. This can be our twice yearly event where we gather and tryout the new flavour of Ubuntu among the community. Also would like to suggest having some barbeque party-style of gathering rather than Meetup style with presentation et al. Basically more social kind of event. Anyone have any suggestion? would like to support the idea? want to volunteer venue? Feel free to bring forward your idea. Regards, WARiola... </blockquote></div>
