It's always a great time, and you're sure to come away enjoying the experience! Release parties are also a great place to delve into the changes for Karmic, get a hand with installing the new release, as well as a place to ask questions you may have about the new version. <b><u>RSVP:</u></b> If you're interested in joining us for the party, please add yourself to the Karmic Release Party wiki page [1]. If you don't have a LaunchPad account, and can't edit the wiki, please feel free to let us know on this mailing list, and we'll be happy to add your info to the page for you.</font></span></div> <div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; white-space: pre-wrap; "><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Also, feel free to bring drinks and snacks to the party!
