OK, here is another round-up of quick things going:

* [Ubuntu Release Parties](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseParties)! – we are heading to release, so why not celebrate the release of Ubuntu and party it hard? Check out [this guide](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/RunningReleaseParty) to setting one up. *You gotta fight for your right to party!* 🙂
* [FossCamp](https://www.fosscamp.org/) is coming, and it is going too be a blast, so go and check out the website and see if you can come along. Last time it was a blast, and really useful, and this one is in Prague. If you can make it, be sure to update the Attendees page.
* I did an [interview for DownloadSquad](https://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/03/27/download-squad-talks-with-jono-bacon-about-lugradio-live-2008/) about [LugRadio Live USA 2008](https://www.lugradio.org/live/USA2008/) as well as LugRadio Live in general and the show.
* I finished Guitar Hero III on Medium and I am half-way through it on hard. It never stops being fun.
* [5-A-Day Team Support](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/5-A-Day) continues to rock-and-roll – go and get your [LoCo Team](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams) involved!
* The [March Ubuntu Community Report](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TeamReports/March2008) is out!
* [LugRadio Live USA 2008](https://www.lugradio.org/live/USA2008/) is NEXT WEEKEND! It is still all to play for for the pre-registration prizes too – want to know what is happening at the event? Well, [read this](https://archivedblog.jonobacon.com/?p=1164). 🙂
