Hi all,
as we move into April the release of Ubuntu 11.04 the Natty Narwhal
swims into view. Because this will be a *huge* celebration we have
arranged a bank holiday on the following day for you, so there is no
excuse for not partying on a weekday. In the afternoon will be a
slightly formal "launch" event and photo opportunity for journalists and
bloggers and the community, at the British Computing Society on
Southampton Street near Charring Cross, dunno if there will be any nosh,
but if there is it would be of the diminutive sandwiches and canapés
variety. There is going to be a registration for this as we are going to
need names and numbers in advance. Following that we will be moving on
to somewhere else with less formality and more booze, probably a pub.
This part of the plan is less well defined than the first part so I am
*seeking* *your* *help*. What we need to do is pick a pub, or other
venue. One that serves food and has a decent amount of space, one that
will perhaps let us reserve an area for free, one within walking
distance of the BCS and within staggering distance of a tube. Power
sockets and wifi would be a mild bonus, but the evening is more about
partying than geeking out.
Please respond with venue suggestions and feel free to start planning
what to do for the rest of your day off, I heard that some kids that
went to Edinburgh Uni are taking advantage of the Natty bank holiday to
get hitched in Westminster, but you could do anything you like.
Alan.
