[kwlug-disc] Ubuntu release party endangered

[Darcy Casselman]

I was really hoping to at least attend a 16.04 release party, but that's
the weekend before the sale of my house closes and I need to move.  So
probably no go for me.

Share a spring roll for me.  Maybe my life will be less crazy in October?
We can hope.

Darcy.
