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"
