Ubuntu 8.04 release party in Montreal
Posted by Fabián Rodríguez under Advocacy , Canonical , Free Stuff , Libre , Linux , Quebec , Society , Tech , Ubuntu , Ubuntu PlanetThis is an invitation to all who will be in or around Montreal, QC, Canada next April 24th. Full party info and details at:
http://www.ubuntu-qc.org/ubuntu-804-invitation
We’ll be partying real hard at St-Sulpice bar and I hear other parties are organizing in Quebec province.
I’d also like to challenge other party organizers, do you think you can have the biggest party out there ? Last time we had close to 200 people in Montreal, this time we are a bit better organized. One specific thing that has helped us a lot is inviting people IN ADVANCE and PERSONALLY 
We welcome all to copy and improve our french and english invitation.
We are also using a Facebook event for RSVPs, local mailing lists and contacting media. We’ve lined up a few sponsors too for swag (and more). Any further ideas ?
PARTY ON!

Hey man! It’s the St Sulpice, not St Sulpice (from memories a few years back). Besides, “supplice” in French is the kind of extreme suffering you get from being tortured, nothing you want for a release party
Have fun, I wish I could be back there. Montreal is the best place!

The Ubuntu 8.04 release party in Montreal is going to set the benchmark in term of release-party-coolness-factor for a long time. Mark my words!

Thanks

No underage access I am afraid… There is an installfest the same day though. See:

Intéressante rencontre Ubuntu…
Ce soir, je retourne dans mon ancien quartier pour une soirée de lancement Ubuntu. J’ai habité le Quartier Latin à mon arrivée à Montréal. Même après quinze ans la rue n’a pas beaucoup changé sauf pour certains de ses commerces. L’endroit ou……

J’ai bien aimé ma soirée et j’adore l’installation de Ubuntu. À suivre…
