The Uganda Linux User Group is hosting a party at Guzzlers Pub in Bugolobi to celebrate the launch of Ubuntu 10.04! There will be a few short presentations and all attendees will receive a free copy of Ubuntu Lucid Lynx.
The UConnect demo-truck will also be on-site for a live demonstration of their mobile-education platform based on Ubuntu thin-client technology.
Special thanks to Robert Orenstein from the S7 Project for donating hundreds of blank DVD's and his Ubuntu-based Internet cafe for the burning-party!
