Just got a question via email (which I will respond to shortly) and the topic came up during one of my five or so meetings today: openSUSE 11.1 release parties.

Short answer: Yes, my friends, there will be release parties so you can get your Geeko on with other openSUSE enthusiasts.

Long answer: Short on details, but will be announcing more as we approach the release. Would like suggestions or thoughts on the topic, though — realizing that we do not have infinite funds to buy the world pizza and beer (sorry world!) we’ll be looking for realistic ways to support our community that wants to hold or attend release parties.

Suggestions and comments welcome. What have you done in the past for release parties? What’s been successful? What doesn’t work so well?

Particularly interested in hearing from LUGs and university groups. Comment here or send me email.
