Hi Alan,
Thanks for putting yourself forward. We touched on this on IRC, but a
follow up. I have been trying to get info out of Canonical about the
party they are organising, and the UK community are welcome to attend.
They are looking for a venue to house >200 people, as the last release
venue was a touch cramped. I have been told i'll get confirmation
details next week.
One reason the community hasn't wanted to organise in London, is that
Canonical invariably will - and blow our plans out of the water. It is
worth noting that we had a release party before Canonical, and some of
the top brass turned up to ours :).
I'm expecting the Canonical bash to just be an evening/night event, if
you are keen enough - it would be great to organise a day time event for
those that can 'get away' during the working week.
For people that don't live in London, regional release parties would
still be a "total win" - However, I will be inclined to travel to the
London one (~230 mile drive!), unless they don't clash - which means
multiple parties!
Thanks again!
Kind Regards,
Dave Walker
