    Impish Indri Online Release Party Planning!

    Monica Ayhens-Madon writes about Release Party Planning for Ubuntu 21.10's upcoming release on 14 October 2021. She starts with a reminder that Ian Weisser noted the release coincides with Community Office Hours making it perfect for a release party, so this post sets out how that can be accomplished. If we have any questions, party ideas, or want to chat, then this is the right post.
