After much discussion, the developers have tentatively put the final
|
|
|
|
release of OpenLP 2.0 in mid-October this year. This is a very
|
|
|
|
auspicious occasion, since OpenLP 2.0 has been in development since
|
|
|
|
September 2008. So after 4 long hard years of work, we can think of no
|
|
|
|
better way to celebrate the release of OpenLP 2.0 than to throw a big
|
|
|
|
party.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, being much of a global affair, it will be rather
|
|
|
|
difficult to get everyone from around the world to the same place to
|
|
|
|
celebrate the release of OpenLP 2.0. A better solution would be for
|
|
|
|
people in various areas to host regional release parties.

|

There are a number of OpenLP `developers living in the

and they are quite eager to get together for a release party. I live in

and I'm keen to host a release party here in Cape Town too.

If you are interested in attending a release party, or hosting a release
|
|
|
|
party, please post your location in an appropriate release party topic
|
|
|
|
in the forums. If there isn't a release party topic, create one!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Remember that release parties do not need to involve computers at all!
|
|
|
|
You can get together at a local pub or restaurant, or host a bit of a
|
|
|
|
party at someone's house. The release parties don't have to happen on
|
|
|
|
the day of OpenLP's release either, they can be a week or two or three
|
|
|
|
later. If you have any ideas of how to celebrate OpenLP's release, feel
|
|
|
|
free to post your ideas in the forums too.
