[Ubuntu Oregon] 18.04 Release Party

Mon Jan 29 20:48:20 UTC 2018

In the past my experience has been install parties are not very successful
up here
so i might suggest just hanging out discussing new features in the release
and
having a good community building opportunity.

So what say we $100 weekend rental of the guest room?
https://luckylab.com/hawthorne-brew-pub/

and a few of these platters  plus say $75 for non-alcoholic drink tab at
the bar?

So like $339.85 (First three platters with hummus upgrade because its
Portland) and $75 drinks
and $100 for rental. Maybe ask for $545 total to allow for flexibility on
drinks, gratuity and any
change in prices etc.

?
