I have not been able to find anything yet. If not, I would be interested in organising such an event and am looking for a few helpers and lots of interested people.<br>
<br>I have a few ideas for a location, depending on if the party lasts a few hours or through the day. I would like to include some information for people new to Linux / Ubuntu, some pratical advocacy information, session on managing your ubuntu system, running Ubuntu live from a USB / SD Card, etc. I would also like to include some more advanced stuff such as setting up a private cloud, but this may depend on getting some suitable hardware.<br>
<br>I would like to know if 2-3 hours is enough or if you would be interested in an all day event. Tentative dates would be Friday 29th April, Saturday 30th or Tuesday 4th May. This is what I have come up with so far in terms of things to do at the party, I would appreciate any comments on what would be of most interest.<br>
