A couple of months ago I started annoying people by telling them, I’d like to show the Ubuntu Berlin community and c-base to Mark Shuttleworth as he is interested in community personally on one side and Ubuntu Berlin is a great example on the other. More here

So this’s rather inviting an important member of the community than celebrating a “meet and greet”. Of course telling people plans like this makes them smile, but when you raise your finger and say “It will happen” with certainty, they’ll get uncertain. So the plan was actually to invite Mark to one of our great traditional release parties which you shouldn’t miss when you are around Berlin at release time.
