Ubuntu 9.04 “Jaunty Jackalope” Release Party, Friday 24th April, BBC Manchester

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

Ian Forrester (from BBC Backstage) has booked the BBC Manchester Bar on Friday 24th April for the Ubuntu-UK Manchester release party. The party will start at 7pm and go on until late (although after 10pm we may have to move to another pub on Oxford Road).

If you are interested in attending you need to sign up before 9am 24th April. You can do this by emailing us, adding yourself to the Facebook page or adding yourself to upcoming yahoo page.

The address is: New Broadcasting House, Oxford Road, Manchester M60 1SJ.

The nearest train station is Oxford Road, although it’s within walking distance of Piccadilly and Victoria stations.

For car parking, the Cornerhouse is just down the road and their website has some useful information.

When you arrive just wait in reception where someone will meet you to take you up to the bar.

Please feel free to pass this on to anyone you think maybe interested. It’s time to show the London lot some competition!

Rock on Ubuntu 9.04!!

Administrative Meeting – 6th April

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

The April administrative meeting is a little earlier this month due to Easter and is on Monday 6th, at the usual time and place:

The meeting is open to everyone. The meeting normally lasts about an hour and we stay around for a social meet up afterwards, so it’s a good opportunity to meet up with people and have a chat.

You can find the minutes of March’s meeting on the FSF Groups wiki. The agenda will be published closer to the time of the meeting.
