Karmic Release Party

[Eyore15]

Are there any plans for a release party in Oct for Karmic's release?

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.

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.
