Meet With Ubuntu-ID Jogjakarta

Right now I’m in Jogjakarta for some office works. Before I go to Jogjakarta, I already contacted Alvonsius telling him that I’m going to Jogjakarta for one night. Soon as I arrived, I called him so I could meet with some Ubuntu users in this town. Alvon came to The Saphir Jogjakarta Hotel where I stay for this night. He came with 6 other Ubuntu users. We talk a lot about Ubuntu Indonesia LoCo Team and ask them how was the Gutsy Release Party in Jogjakarta.

There are also some games for door prizes. The prizes are some sets of Ubuntu 7.10 DVD Repository and some Ubuntu-ID tshirts. Oh, and the foods are delicious

Some of the participants are Miss Irene from Intel Indonesia, Mr. Rama Yurindra from Zend Indonesia, Mr. Bambang from Biskom Magazine, Mr. Andy Apdhani as an Ubuntu Member, Mr. Adin and Mr. Jan Peter from kambing.ui.edu and many more.

This party won’t be a success without the work of the coordinator of Gutsy Release Party Jakarta, Mr. Wisu Suntoyo and team, and BizNet as a sponsor for this party. So I would like to thank them for making this party rocks! Also for all the participant who willing to spend their time to party with us.
