Irish LoCo Team – Jaunty Release Party

Posted in Community, FOSS, GNU/Linux, PlanetUbuntu, SFD, Ubuntu by Mean-Machine on April 27, 2009

The Irish LoCo Team held the Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) release party on Saturday, the 25th of April.

Altogether we had 20+ people celebrating the new release, including some new faces and of course the ‘usual suspects’.
First, there was the Chinese buffet lunch, followed by drinks, conversations about the new Ubuntu, playing around with laptops and netbooks, as well as the usual mingling.

Thanks to shipit.ubuntu.com we were able to organize an Ubuntu/Linux Quiz with prizes. Three winners went home wearing brand new ‘Ubuntu Guru’ t-shirts. The fourth t-shirt will be given away at the upcoming Geeknic in Dublin, on the 9th of May!

Here’s a few pictures from our event…
