The Ubuntu-QC team would like to invite all those who have been eagerly
awaiting the release of Ubuntu 9.04 "The Jaunty Jackalope" to join their
fellow Ubuntu enthusiasts on Thursday, April 30 at 1800h in Quebec City
and Montreal for simultaneous events. Welcome the latest release of your
favorite distro with your fellow travellers on the path to software
freedom! Other parties are being organized through the province. See
more details below.

Ubuntu is a community developed operating system that is perfect for
laptops, desktops and servers. Whether you use it at home, at school or
at work Ubuntu contains all the applications you'll ever need, from word
processing and email applications, to web server software and
programming tools. Ubuntu is an African word meaning 'Humanity to
others', or 'I am what I am because of who we all are'. The Ubuntu
distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.

This event is open to users of any OS, distribution, or language. New
users will have the opportunity to meet and speak with veterans. It's
like a free car mechanic! With beer and food!

Both locations offers free wifi Internet connections, so be sure to
bring your laptop. There will be the chance to install Jaunty as soon as

and coming from other nearby cities may be there too.

Beer. Food. A geek to upgrade your laptop for you. Ubuswag. The only
thing missing is YOU!
