Another great release, another great release party here in Michigan.


And for the second time in a row we had 2 simultaneous parties on the East and West sides of Michigan. Thanks especially to Ben Rousch for planning the West Side party. Check out his summary of that party
The East side party at a pub in Plymouth, Michigan had about 15 people in attendance who RSVP’d. In addition to that we had 4 (four!) Ubuntu users who were just randomly in the pub come over and join the party. This wasn’t the first time someone has seen us or overheard us and came over but this was definitely the first time 4 people did so at the same event.
And one of the big winners was Scott Moser showing off the free 1 hour trial of Ubuntu Server using Amazon’s EC2, https://10.cloud.ubuntu.com.

Thanks to everyone who showed up and shared their stories! I, as usual, had a great time catching up with old friends and meeting new friends.
