Re: Karmic Koala 9.10 Release Parties

went it was specially reserved for some organization's event. Usually
a rope line outside at night for general public.
You might want to call ahead and see if they are booked that evening.
I'm assuming the release party would be in the early evening, so you
wouldn't have to worry about it being dark and loud and crowded.
Probably no cover until 9pm or so, but I would highly recommend
calling ahead and discussing options. I don't think a lot of people
would come if they had to pay $10 to get in the door for FREE
software.
Avast!

Oh, hmm, good call. I just left a message.
Fall back plan: Aussie's (re: "koala").

So unfortunately, the Karma Bar doesn't open until 9pm, so let's head
over to plan B (and perhaps do an after-party at Karma...)
Join us between 6pm - 9pm on Thursday, October 29, 2009 at Aussie's
Grill and Beach Bar, at 306 Barton Springs Road, just east of the
corner of Riverside and Barton Springs Road, south of the river. I
figured an Australian-themed bar would have to work, in honor of the
home of our lovely mascot, the Karmic Koala!
Burning CD's is so '90s... If you'd like a bootable/installable copy
of Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, bring an empty USB stick, 1GB or bigger,
and we'll gladly burn an image for you. There should be a couple of
laptops demoing the new release. I'm planning on bringing two, to demo
the Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC), powered by Eucalyptus, which I've
been working on for the last few months.
