Yes, I would like.

A idea is to make a Download Fest, Install Fest and Trying it out!

[Milot Shala]

Here is my list of suggestions for a party:

• Two or more machines (desktops, laptops) with Ubuntu pre-installed, for non-Ubuntu users to see how it works
• Some nice t-shirts with ubuntu logo
• Snacks
• Drinks (Alcoholic, non-alcoholic)
  
• Good music
• Some of us that use Ubuntu on daily basis, to show new users how to use it, show them new features etc.
• But not to make a conference-like party, but a real party with Ubuntu in mind and communicating about it in a friendly manner, not someone to talk and others to listen.
• Probably one of documentaries about open source software in the end who would like to watch them: Revolution OS or The Code

Download fest: yes.
Install fest: no. Because no one will bring their personal computers for us to install Ubuntu, first they must be comfortable with it, then we should think on having install fests.

We tried to have an install fest once, but without success.

Hi
one thing is missing from the list :

CDS/DVDS
or a CD burner to burn them on the fly.

Also you can at least offer an installation. Call it formatizur.
you can charge 7 euros for that :)

Even if you think no one will want it, you can at least ask.

Yes, we can buy empty CDs and burn them there.

I think it is more appropriate to do this for free.

you are right.

Even I am checking these web-sites I can't see any date of the Karmic
Release so I would like to know the date because can be late to do
something same like SFD 09 in Prishtina.

best regards,
Gent Thaçi

Now we are just sharing ideas that what should we do for the release day, We haven't still decide to do something.

[Heroid Shehu]

We can do it on a weekend because most of us are in schools and some are even in another city so what do you think saturday? or sunday?

[Valdrin Maliqi]

We should promote that with posters and blogs ,so anyone can be informed about that .

I used to use Ubuntu and, at least in previous releases, getting an ISO on the
actual day of the release was a PITA, so keep that in mind if you plan to
have the party that very Thursday.

We can do it on the weekend because then we have the discs burned and the isos also...
