11.3 Late Launch Party
by Kostas Koudaras 06 Nov '10

06 Nov '10

Yesterday we had the party done finally.We know we were late but it turned out that it worth-ed the waiting. What we had: -We had openSUSE dvd's -We had balloons -We had stickers we made -We had fliers we made -We had a Cake -We had party gear (horns-whistles etc.) -We had a Rock bar for us -We had me as a DJ-VJ -We had Stathis welcoming people -We had beer's (not free unfortunately ;-) ) -We had about 25 openSUSE people We had a lot of fun,we rocked until dawn,we got drunk,among all this we talked about the community we are building and we decided to arrange some meetings so that we can form work-groups for OBS and LI-F-E. People liked what we did so far as a community and they want to become a part of all this. I believe that this is a great success. The party was successful, I am probably still a little drunk ;-) Here are the first photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/warlordfff more photos and videos are about to be released soon Kostas 'Warlordfff' Koudaras -- http://opensuse.gr http://amb.opensuse.gr http://warlordfff.tk me I am not me ------- Time travel is possible, you just need to know the right aliens I gave exams for God , but I failed in miracles -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help(a)opensuse.org
