Just a quick note to invite anyone in or near Montreal or Quebec City, we’ll be celebrating the Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 release on April 30th.
Word is out that people in Abitibi will also get together, I’ll have more information in the next few days 🙂

No, I haven’t moved to Honduras, just helping out there 😉
David Giard, a founding member of the Ubuntu Quebec LoCo Team, relayed these news to me this morning (via The Fridge):
NOT A FORK – as soon as I posted this I got a comment about this being a fork, well, it’s not! It’s a collection of modules and a theme, which are managed via a project in Launchpad. This is not a separate fork of Drupal! 🙂
That long needed suite of tools has finally been completed.
This suite is designed for any Ubuntu Local Communities wanting to host a website. It is designed to allow any LoCo team to quickly create a website using Drupal for their team.
What this suite offers:
- An approved theme for any LoCo
- A highly customizable theme
- Launchpad OpenID integration
- -> Users don’t need to create an account on your site
- Launchpad Teams integration
- -> Can control access levels in site based on LP team memberships
- Fast and friendly support
