Just so everybody is aware well in advance of the release there is a wiki
page with info about the parties.  The page is meant to be informative as
well as a place for anybody organizing and/or planning a party in their neck
of the woods to include party details.

Dan (aka dantalizing or bennylava) has already created a page
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FloridaTeam/Projects/JauntyReleaseParties

Feel free to add info about parties you maybe organizing, planning or simply
attending.

We would like to see parties held in locations in addition to Orlando where
it has been central.  I will be adding details about the party in Orlando
very soon.

If you have any questions and/or concerns feel free to use the mailing list
or contact myself (pak33m) or (aka dantalizing or bennylava).

Jimmy
