The release party is now confirmed for Sunday May 2, 2010 to be held at Bar Louie in Westminster, CO @ 5:30pm. Please RSVP this will help me make sure we have all the support we need.

We have the back room all to ourselves with a dedicated bar tender, pool table, and lounge area. I am also finalizing the possibility for an open pool table with them. Bar Louie should prove to be a great venue. They have 40 different beers on tap and a large selection of food and appetizers.

Not only will this event be to celebrate another great release of Ubuntu, but it will also be where I hand over the control of the group to David. After 2 yrs of serving the group with release parties and cd hand outs. Its time to let someone else take the rains.

Tomorrow is our ReApproval meeting with the Ubuntu Council where we will be presenting our Application for ReApproval. This is part of the council’s new review process to make note of what teams have become inactive and/or waining in activity.

So if you are a CoLoCo member please visit the Application and provide and additional information that you see fit, and join us on irc.freenode.net in channel #ubuntu-meeting @ 2pm MST.

Hope to see some of you all there.

I would like to present you all with the new Release Party Poster. Thanks to Eric Jackson for all the hard work.

If you would like I have AI files for all versions if you wish to print them off and distribute them.

Well its that time of the year again. Time to start planning for the upcoming Jaunty Jackalope Release Party.

I am looking to get a head count on the number of people wishing to attend and suggests for the Location and Date. Currently on the table is the Oriental Theater. However to do this I need to have 50+ people confirm that they will attend the event.

Features of the Oriental Theater are:

• 40-foot Projector
• Sandwich Shop
• Wi-Fi
• Room for a lot
• Good Location

I am looking for a few people to also give a presentation at the release party. It doesn’t need to be release oriented, but at least be Ubuntu and/or Open Source related. I am going to put together a presentation on the new features and bug fixes for the new release as well to go along with any other presentations. If you wish to do a presentation please email me at (nerdynick) at (gmail) dot (com).

I am also looking for a designer to mock up a Release Party flyer. If you know of someone and are that someone please email me or the mailing list your design ideas.

Reservations are under “Nick” and will be in the Pilsner Room. If you where with us for the last release its that same Location and Room as last time.

Sorry. This is probably just a little late, but better late then never.

We’ve got good news and bad news

The good news: Leslie Hawthorn, the wonderful head of the Google Open
Source Program Office (Google Summer of Code, etc) will help us plan
the next Ubucon Boulder! It is always good to have folks helping who
really know how to run a great event.

The bad news: we won’t have time to get our ducks in a row in time for
the previously announced Sep 27th date.

So we need a new date, either in October or January, since Nov and Dec
won’t work.

So we’ll figure out which Saturdays work for Google – Stay tuned!

Thanks,
Nick, Neal, Leslie and Dale
