Ubuntu California Natty Release Party

by | Wed 27 Apr 2011

[Elizabeth](https://princessleia.com/journal/?p=4297) blogged it already, but I thought I would pump it through my loudspeaker too.

If you are in the San Francisco Bay Area on Thursday night (28th April at 7.30pm), be sure to head over to the [Thirsty Bear](https://www.thirstybear.com/) (661 Howard Street, San Francisco 94105) to join us for our Ubuntu 11.04 release party. It will be a pretty informal affair – just a get together in a bar/restaurant.

Feel free to just show up, and if you can [RSVP here](https://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/920/detail/) that would be great too.

Oh, and to be 100% clear – everyone is welcome to the party. This is a celebration, and a celebration to welcomes everyone, whether you use Ubuntu or not; if you are not part of the Ubuntu community but would like to meet everyone, you are more than welcome!

Not in the San Francisco Bay Area? No problem, [find a release party near you](https://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/744/detail/) – there are currently 60 events planned!

An invitation-only accelerator that develops industry-leading community engagement and growth via personalized training, coaching, and accountability...all tailored to your company's needs.
