The Ubuntu-ie LoCo held our Karmic Koala release party on Saturday and had a massive turn out, thanks to all those who came.  We decided to go for a sit down lunch at Jimmy Chungs an all you can eat Chinese buffet and we definitely had our fill.

After lunch we went to Karma, and this was chosen by the LoCo team  with a poll and list of places to go. It also had free wifi and opened up for us when we got there soaking wet as it lashed rain and it wasn’t due to open for an hour, so thanks Karma After a few hours of showing it off, we clearly were very thirsty, and the rest of the photos are here

There seems to be a lot of coverage over here (Ireland) once again on the windows 7 launch and a large gaping hole of no other operating system being covered, or new features or events associated with these alternatives (no the new mac mouse does not count).  It’s rather frustrating to see technology journalists skim over the new features that are developed on other systems not just Ubuntu.

So with that I’ve noted 7 new features and wanted to know what you feel has improved in this release for you?

1. Slicker user experience
2. Gnome 2.28 featuring Empathy
3. Ubuntu Software Center
4. Instant Resume from suspend
5. Ext 4 default
6. Ubuntu one – cloud integration
7. Faster start up times

So thank you to all those who made it possible!
