Ubuntu-tz Hi all!

[Christopher Glass]

Great to see some interest!

Can you guys think of a good place to meet? If we're only 4 or 5 I
suggest a public place like a caffee or bar (or whatever is more
relevant), but if we are more it's probably best to find a suitable
location.

Should we try to find a date that works for everyone? I created a
first doodle - for the moment only on weekends around the release
date: http://doodle.com/m43b8k7zhamqqwkh

If it doesn't work for a release party, let's find another date that
works for everyone!

Take care,

- Chris
