Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail Release Parties on Thursday, 25 April 2013

[BobJonkman]

Hi Everybodeee! This is the week of the Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail release, and so there are Release Parties:

The KW chapter of Ubuntu Canada (https://launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-waterloo-region) is having a release party for the latest version of Ubuntu, named “Raring Ringtail” on Thursday, 25 April 2013 at 7:00pm at the Kwartzlab Makerspace (http://kwartzlab.ca).

You’ll meet Ubuntu people from all over Canada during the IRC meeting (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2013-04-25) from 7:00pm to 8:00pm; the Kwartzlab Radio team will be recording a podcast at 8:30pm; and there will be a live installation demonstration on a fancy new Lenovo laptop with UEFI and SecureBoot.

And, of course, there will be cake, deviled eggs, and we may order out for pizza…

Start the week with a party(1,2), end the week with a party! On Friday, 10 May 2013 at 7:00pm Verdi R-D (@azend) is hosting an Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail Release Party at the Diyode Community Workshop in Guelph. Some party snacks will be provided, but more are always welcome. Azend sez: "I'm thinking of doing a little demo session during the event to show what people are doing with Ubuntu and linux based operating systems." If you're doing something with Ubuntu, here's your chance to show off. And if there's something you want to do with Ubuntu, this is also your chance to ask. I've got some ISOs (32- and 64-bit Unity, 64-bit Gnome), so if you bring a DVD or USB stick I can make a bootable disk for you (in fact, that could be one of the demos). If you want another flavour (Edubuntu, Server, Studio, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu) let me know soon!
