Hello Mates,

some of you have orginized an Lauchparty. No i would like to propose for creating an Checklist for that. So potential Hosts can use the Checklist for planning the Party. What do you think?

Great timing! I am hoping to put together a release party here in Portland for November 12, 2009 / 11.2. I was looking more for guidelines than a checklist, so here are some questions:

1. What's the exact release time? And in what time zone? We here in Portland will I think be off Daylight Saving Time by then.

You wish to do a kind of Countdown? The release date is the 12th of November. On Conference we had an session about ambassadors I begedded Zonker to set up an exactly day for 11.3. The matter for this is simple when we act all in the same period then we can make a better marketing for it and all events profit from this.

2. I would like to have live music and beer / pizza or some similar geeky foodstuffs. I know quite a few musicians here in town that would love to get into Linux (assuming the technologies in 11.2 are up to the task, of course) and I think we could put together something that would appeal to a wider class of geek. Is there any reason I couldn't have a combined openSUSE release party and jam session?

I'm personally going to do a lot of audio testing with 11.2 milestones 7 and 8. I've got a computer music gig coming up on October 5 and don't have any other really risky components, so I think the timing is pretty good. And I can always drop back to 11.1 for the performance. ;-)

@saigkill checklist is not so simple 1. u need a place/room 2. when u have a room u see what kind of content u can make. The content depends of the culture in the country. Like Ed here wrote he makes a real party. Here is better u give some talks. Maybe in south america is better to make an gaming night or somthing like that 3. when u have the content u can begin make marketing for the event (please let the profis help u, I have seen posters made with many love but not in the CI ;) ) There is not really a checklist for do this with checkboxs "ohh I forgot power supply"
