Theodotos sent me a message, letting me know of the upcoming Ubuntu / Fedora release party that will take place in Frederick University on May 17, 2008. Here is a quote from the announcement:
Taking the opportunity of the new releases of Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron Linux and Fedora 9 sulphur Linux we are organizing a party to celebrate the event. There are going to be Presentations, Installation workshops and pre-installed systems where you can test the new releases. There are
also free CDs with the new releases for everyone. You can bring your own computer too!
The event will take place on 17 of May, to the Campus of Frederick University in Limassol (near the Polemidia round-about) from 4:00 - 9:00 pm, at rooms 304 and 305 in the first floor
Basically, all you need to know is that there are going to be plenty of Linux geeks. If you need to know anything else, it’s in one of these two PDF files : announcement in English or leaflet.
P.S.: Apologies for an ancient Red Hat Linux image, but I haven’t done one with Fedora yet. Stay tuned though.

Fedora + Ubuntu + Geeks = Beer? - cuz, unfortunately they don’t sell it in the cafeteria downstairs :(
P.S.: I’m in!

Andrey,
you’re imposing imaginary limitations. Nobody said “cafeteria downstairs” so far. :)
6 Andrey V // May 7, 2008 at 12:35 am
That’s not a limitation, it’s just an ExceptionHandling concerning one of the main Linux meeting parameters - beer ;)

Computers + Beer = No Computers!!!
We originally wanted to do this in an internet cafe or something but the cost was too much. We thank Frederick for letting us use the computer rooms but we do not want to abuse their hospitality by bringing beer, vodka, rum (What!!! No rum?), zivania whatever… I hope you will enjoy it anyway :)

Theo,
the experience tells me that if there is no beer, people will move to the nearest spot with beer pretty soon ;)
Laptops help in this matter. :)

Well we could invite everybody for a beer somewhere downtown (maybe a place with wi-fi) after we finish from Frederick. Any suggestions?
10 Leonid Mamchenkov // May 8, 2008 at 12:36 am
Theo,
don’t worry - we’ll find the place. Some of the people who are coming to the party, are semi-professional beerholics. :)
