Europe::Vienna - Release It!

Party Entry: Available here.
There were 40 people at our party :). We printed T-Shirts, cheered for 1.0 and upcoming 2.0 ;). There even were some chicks :D

Australia::Melbourne - Aussie Mozzie Party

Party Entry: Available here.
It was a cold and windy Melbourne night, but that didn't stop the Mozilla faithfull. They arrived (almost 20 in all) to Prince Alfred's Hotel in Carlton, to pay tribute to the lizard (who was in attendance). The weather was getting quite cold, so many went inside for a game of pool (including the lizard).

North America::Houston - Houston Mozilla Release Party

Party Entry: Available here.
An enjoyable bash at the Saint Arnold Brewery.  We drank rather a lot of truly excellent beer, gave out t-shirts, red leis, door-prizes, lots of pizza, mozilla-themed cake, and some really awful Mozilla temporary-tattoos.  It was great getting to meet some fellow Moz-enthusiasts (some from as far as Dallas and Louisiana) and the unlimited beer supply didn't hurt the festivities one bit, either!  We'll put our writeup of the party on Batmantis.

Asia::Malaysia::Kuala Lumpur - Mozilla Cicak Party

Party Entry: Available here.
It was a rainy evening in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and the with the rains came traffic jams all over the city. This however didnt stop about 20 people who were faithful to the lizard, or the cicak as we call it, from turning up first at Oliver's Sandwiches for dinner and thence on to the Roof, Bangsar for beers. Lots of cheering the cicak and open source in general. Hope to be here again for Release 2.0.

Nine people turned out for the Richmond, VA Mozilla release party on 6-12-02 at Bandito's Burrito Lounge.  We tempered the volcanic burritos with cool margaritas and talked about rolling out the lizard to be the standard browser (replacing Netscape 4.7x) for the 200 public and 150 staff desktops in the Virginia Commonwealth University Libraries!
