Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala was released!

This is for those that aren't subscribed to
http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-announce yet.  For
those interested in getting on IRC #ubuntu-release-party is the place
to be other than #ubuntu-california of course.  Our events are coming
up as scheduled here
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/KarmicRelease - don't
be shy about organizing more events, even if it's just a few friends.

I will definitely have the downloadable images with me on USB sticks
so please just ask if you have your computer or if you bring a USB
stick and want a copy.

Party on,

Grant Bowman

The Ubuntu team is pleased to announce Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop and Server
editions, Ubuntu 9.10 Server for Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC) and Amazon's
EC2, and Ubuntu Netbook Remix, continuing Ubuntu's tradition of integrating
the latest and greatest open source technologies into a high-quality,
easy-to-use Linux distribution.

Read more about the features of Ubuntu 9.10 in the following press releases:

 Desktop edition    http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-910
 Server edition     http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu-910-server-edition

Ubuntu 9.10 will be supported for 18 months on both desktops and servers.
Users requiring a longer support lifetime on the server may choose to
continue using Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, with security support until 2013, rather
than upgrading to 9.10.

Thanks to the efforts of the global translation community, Ubuntu is
available in 25 languages.  For a list of supported languages and detailed
translation statistics for these and other languages, see:

 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/ReleaseLanguages/9.10

Ubuntu 9.10 includes the first official release of Ubuntu Server images for
UEC and for Amazon's EC2, giving you everything you need for rapid
deployment of Ubuntu instances in a cloud computing environment. UEC images,
and information on running Ubuntu 9.10 on EC2, are available at:

 http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/9.10/release

Ubuntu 9.10 is also the basis for new 9.10 releases of Kubuntu, Xubuntu,
Edubuntu, UbuntuStudio, and Mythbuntu:
