[ubuntu-za] Precise release party, what do you want to do?

[Nico Michael(iBurst)]

Hi there

I do this in Pretoria twice a year and it works well for us

1. What we do is meet a a restaurant that has separate rooms , we 
reserve one for us
The food is good , and the talk is good
2. What you need to do is get volunteers to download all the files

3. I supply rolls of mains cables to power up the laptops and encourage 
the chaps to bring external drives and memory sticks (thumb drives)
we have good chats swap files eat good food

4. This time we have decided to make the Pretoria part a week late
This is to guarantee we have all the files on time I have learned never 
to trust our Ubuntu friends and make it a week late

5. I also send invites to other Linux lists so I get to people not 
reached by this list

Kind regards

Nico Michael
