Host a Debian release party in $your_city

Apparently I forgot to put my initial call for release parties on planet.debian.org. Sorry, so much things to do, so little time...

As Debian Squeeze will be released next weekend, it's a good time to start preparing a release party in your city. Be it in a pub, a pizzeria, or your living room: Organizing and hosting a release party is an ideal opportunity to meet, exchange GPG fingerprints, exchange knowledge and of course be merry and celebrate :)

If there's going to be an event in your city, please add it to our wiki page so others can find it and join you :)

Oh, and the publicity got the idea to do some live commenting of the release process via Debian's official identi.ca account. Might become interesting to watch that, too, as we also plan to fill boring waiting parts with funny and interesting facts :)

Oh, and if you should know / or would be interested in an interesting facts (e.g. the the 150'000 closed bugs since Lenny got released please contact us, as we are still preparing them ;)
