Well, we are steaming ahead to the Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon release, and I am hoping that each of you, my special Internet friends, are testing the beta and submitting your bugs. If not, [read this](https://archivedblog.jonobacon.com/?p=1042).
In the meantime, it is also full-steam ahead in terms of organising release parties around the world. So far we have **34 parties** organised, which is awesome, but we need *more, more, more*! Organising a party is simple – find a place to hold it (a university room, pub, house, restaurant etc), promote it and have a great time. You can find a simple guide to how to get started [here](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/RunningReleaseParty) and when you make the big-party-love happen, add it to [this page](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyReleaseParties).
So, lets have a look at the current party list (details of venues and dates [here](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyReleaseParties)):
