#Utopic Release
||<<Include(CaliforniaTeam/Menu)>>||

We will be celebrating the [[UtopicUnicorn/ReleaseSchedule|release of Ubuntu 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn)]] which is happening in October, 2014. Physical and virtual (IRC & other) Utopic events will be scheduled.  Each release cycle a number of efforts happen focused around the release.  Globally, [[UbuntuDeveloperWeek]] and [[UbuntuGlobalJam]] events happen a month or two before the release focusing on new contributors.  Parties (listed below) and [[UbuntuOpenWeek]] happen near or after the release.  If you are thinking about organizing one, [[BuildingCommunity/RunningReleaseParty]] has some hints more hints are described in a video [[http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/6181333|how to do a release party.]] "... can be organized in literally 10 minutes."
