The Fedora 10 InstallFest/Release Party will be held December 6, 2008.

Fedora Linux 10 has been released. Therefore, a release party is now in order!

Date: Dec 6th, 2008
Time: 6pm-8pm
Place: Bill Good Marketing
Address: 12393 Gateway Park Place, Suite 600, Draper, Utah 84020 - Map

Bring your machines for the installfest. There will also be a USB Creation Station.  Food and drink will be provided.  Come and enjoy yourself.

Hope this party is a blast and we look forward to lots of pictures.

Fedora 9 (Sulphur) will be released April 29, 2008
Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) will be released April 24, 2008

All are welcome to join in the celebration of newly released Fedora and Ubuntu distributions. Ubuntu Utah has been gracious to allow revelers from the Fedora camp join in with the Ubuntu Utah team.  The entire event will be sponsored by the Utah Open Source Foundation who will also provide food.

FOOD IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE, SO COME EARLY AND COME HUNGRY!

If you’ve never been to a release party, they are a blast, and this one proves to be nothing less than spectacular.  In fact, Code Greene’s owner Mac Newbold has offered up his office (or rather playground) for us to hold our party.  Code Greene has foosball, video games, pool, music and more for all to enjoy.

Why: Release of Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) and Fedora Sulphur (F9)
When:  May 3, 2008, 6-8pm (or thereabouts)
Where: Code Greene, 44 Exchange Place Salt Lake City, UT 84111

Please RSVP via upcoming.org if you are participating.

In the immortal words of sontek, “Tonight was amazing!”

The Multi-Distro Release Party was a grand success. Around 30+ people, plenty of drinks, food and oh yeah, three Linux distros were discussed along with one proprietary-ish OS. Fun was had by all and even a new Linux user came and got Ubuntu installed, Christer must be proud.

Heartsbane brought his apocalypse box to install Fedora. It was quite the sight!

Shauna Theobald from the OSTC provided the pizza and decided also that it would be fun to surprise yours truly with an early *surprise* birthday party. All I can say is that I was “blown away”, and “thank you”. That was a pretty nice thing to do…

And while we were all having fun, the kids were getting into it too!

As it stands, the Fedora, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, OpenBSD and Mac OS X Release Party was a grand success. Here’s all of the pics from my camera.

Cheers,

Clint

If you’ve been hiding under a rock, or ignoring posts lately, this is a good time to read.  Later today will be the Multi-Distro Release Party. Ubuntu (Gutsy Gibbon), Fedora (Werewolf) and OpenSUSE (10.3) will be available via network install.  CDs and DVDs for all three distributions, and possibly others, will also be available.  Come and enjoy the festivities!

Only once in a great while will we see an event like this one. Only once will there be so many shiny new distributions to choose from. Only once will OpenSUSE, Ubuntu and Fedora be released within one month of each other.

Because of this The Utah Open Source Foundation is announcing the first and probably only Multi-Distro Release Party in Utah. The release party will involve all three major distros, plus anyone is welcome to bring their own distro to hand out.

The party will be held on Saturday, November 10, from 1-5pm at the Open Source Technology Center at Novell. We’ll have a few short presentations about the three released distributions, food and a large network install server for the Installfest.

We hope to see you all there!
