Re: Karmic Release Party
I was just about to post something about the release party. Here's what I sent to the mailing list:
The next version of Ubuntu, version 9.10 (Karmic Koala) is being released on Thursday, October 29, 2009. We typically hold our release parties on the Saturday following a release but since Halloween falls on the Saturday after the Karmic release, I think we should postpone our release party a week and hold it on Saturday, November 7, 2009.
Any suggestions for venues? Last year's fall release party was held at Buca di Beppo in Castleton (NE Indy) and I think that worked out well - their family style dishes mesh well with the spirit of FOSS.
I've started a planning page at

THE BEEF HOUSE
is like a world class eatin place on i74 just before Danville ILLINOIS....
Dinner is about 35 bucks a persone
They have INCREDIBLE Steaks that are HIGHLY ACCLAIMED....
Dress is upscale casual, so I always wear my best pair of jeans.
If you are looking for just a GREAT PLACE to eat that isnt TERRIBLY expensive I would suggest it....
Plus I wouldnt have to drive far and get lost...

We typically have people coming from Fort Wayne and Bloomington and Metro Indy is fairly centrally located. If people don't mind the trip west of Indy, I suppose it would be fine.Originally Posted by ConXtionS

Anyone is welcome to attend - please add your names to the wiki at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IndianaTeam/KarmicReleaseParty
So far the suggested restaurants in Indy (NE side - Castleton) are Buca di Beppo and Dave & Busters. I haven't yet been to the Indy Dave & Busters but had a great time at the Atlanta one several years ago.

I've heard of release parties for years, but I've never been to one.
If you don't mind, could you explain the going-ons at a conventional release party?

The Indiana Ubuntu LoCo team holds two release parties a year in conjunction with the periodic releases of Ubuntu. Our spring release parties have been held at Fort Harrison State Park in Lawrence (East side of Indy), IN where we have a pitch-in cookout. Due to the weather, our fall release parties are held indoors at a restaurant. At either release party, people often bring laptops with the latest Ubuntu installed and sometimes there are copies of the latest release handed out. We also discuss new features of the release or talk about any problems we're having using Ubuntu.

The Karmic Release Party is scheduled for this Saturday - we should lock down the time and place ASAP.
I'll vote for Dave & Buster's just for variety's sake.

Although I am a fellow hoosier, I won't be able to attend. But I just wanted to let you guys know that if you choose Buca di Beppo, they are running a national coupon that is a pretty good deal. Link to coupon below.
