Tonight, Ubuntu Vancouver meets to celebrate the holidays. No computers, no chat rooms, no formality. Just real-good-in-person-fun-community. It's our early start to New Year's and a fine way to celebrate another great year for Ubuntu (the project, the ethos, the product, the platform, and the people.)

Before we all get swept away into our celebrations, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the Ubuntu Contributor Community for their hard work, persistence, and dedication to what is the most important free software project in the world.

Thank you!

And from us to you Happy New Year! from Vancouver.
