[ubuntu-za] release party

[Vijay Makanjee]

well a party is always a good idea.

Better still if there is something good to celebrate.
It might be an idea. Will need to think about this in terms of time etc.

Any Eastern Cape people on the forum??

Let me know and we can try and set something up

Kind regards
