Hi All, <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Nov 8, 2009 at 10:11 PM, Nathan Handler <<a href="mailto:nhandler@ubuntu.com">nhandler@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello everyone, This is just a reminder that next Saturday, November 14, the Chicago LoCo will be holding their Karmic release party [1]. The event will take place at the Illinois Institute of Technology's Institute of Design from noon until 3:00 pm. If you are planning on attending the event, we would appreciate it if you could RSVP on the event wiki page. Please also let us know if you would be willing/interested in giving a presentation at the event. Everyone present at the release party is more than welcome to stick around for the Chicago LUG meeting, which will take place immediately afterwards. If you have any questions about the event, feel free to ask them either on this mailing list or in #ubuntu-chicago on <a href="http://irc.freenode.net" target="_blank">irc.freenode.net</a>.

I would normally be able to give a talk on Xubuntu (which has been getting good reviews), but my workload has been pretty massive as of late, and it is going to continue through this week. Is anyone using Ubuntu One on a regular basis? If someone would like to give a talk on that, that would be good, as this is the first release that includes it by default. Also, the new Software Center would be a good presentation topic. I know it is pretty basic for now, but how will it grow and change in the future? What would we like to do for food? Shall we go with Lou Malnati's again? That was pretty popular at the last release party. If people wanted to eat pizza, I could handle ordering it, but I'd request a small contribution ($~3.00 or so) to cover costs. Jim
