<h3>Friends it just keeps getting better, we are going to crack
open another case of Kubuntu Geek Fun!</h3>
<p>If you’re behind the curve on Kubuntu party then this <a
href="https://www.kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-part-2/">previous
post</a> will fill in the gaps.</p>
<p>Friday 20th May 20:00 UTC, we may or may not dressing up in
party frocks, but we will certainly be pressing the “Big Blue
Button” to teleport into (K)Ubuntu party land.<br>
</p>
<p>Some say “Even Ovidiu-florin might be there with his Chicken
Hat !”</p>
<p>The event will be an on-line party; Held on our video
conferencing server, which the folks at <a
href="http://bigbluebutton.org"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://bigbluebutton.org">http://bigbluebutton.org</a></a>
provided for us.</p>

<p>The conference suite provides IRC style chat, Voice and Video
conferencing, and you can choose to join as many or as few of
those mediums as you wish. There will be presentations, and
screen shared live demo’s. As has been demonstrated in previous
parties there is a healthy flow of topical conversations, and
lots of interesting people dropping by to say hello.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<h2>Event un-schedule</h2>
<p>The main focus will be on “Making Friends and Having Fun!”
There is a great party atmosphere with a life of its own,
conversation flowing in different directions, based upon who is
talking, and who has recently arrived. It is a very loose format
of welcoming guests, and getting them involved in the
conversation, and in particular focusing on open questions that
invite them to introduce their own topics, we guarantee you’ll
feel right at home.</p>
<p>The parties attract a wide audience from beyond the Kubuntu
community. At the ;ast party we attracted party-goers from;
UBports project, Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Devon and Cornwall Linux User
Group and of course Kubuntu.</p>
<p>To make these parties even better we need YOUR HELP. Firstly a
party can only be a a party when there are party goes, so ensure
you come along. Secondly make sure you tell everyone you know to
come along too.</p>
<p>There will be lots of time for discussion, questions and
answers, along with general support and help from the community.
At the last event everyone had a really great time, there were
laughs, jokes, conversation and information sharing.</p>
<p>The event runs for around 3 hours from 20:00 until about 23:00,
with a 30 minute overrun to close everything down.</p>
<p>The link to the conference will be posted on the Kubuntu
Podcast <a
href="https://plus.google.com/b/112102796730023795852/events/cd5cm4806f1sp8mc7gkasvv971o">Google+
events page</a> and also on irc.freenode.net in the #kubuntu
channel</p>
<p>Above all we’re going to have fun, chat, share knowledge, party
and learn new things. There will be plenty of us on hand to get
you started playing and experimenting with Kubuntu. Whether this
is your first time trying Kubuntu or you want help with
installing, bug fixing, code hacking or packaging.</p>
<p>All are welcome!</p>
