Mozilla plans dozens of simultaneous Firefox 2 launch parties worldwide

    • ziadoz, on 10/12/2007, -10/+45I'm a Firefox user, but seriously, partying over a browser? Bit over the top. Yeah yeah I know, open source/Linux/Apple fanboys Digg me down already.
    • polumrak, on 10/12/2007, -23/+7@ziadoz, whatever the topic is, apple fanboys should be mentioned, right?..
      That's because apple fanboys are the source of all the evil in the world, right?
    • seanmc303, on 10/12/2007, -7/+13I'll party when they have all of their memory leaks plugged.
    • ziadoz, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18@polumrak
      I didn't feel it was fair to exclude any of the wide variety of fanboys that make up 99% of the Digg user base. And yes, Apple fanboys are the source of all evil.
    • Krim, on 10/12/2007, -20/+4FIREFOX PARTY MORE LIKE GAY MAN AIDS
    • goat4, on 10/12/2007, -17/+2LMFAO KRIM

    • UrlorJkron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17"I'm a Firefox user, but seriously, partying over a browser?"

      Party like it's 1999!

    • exobyte, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Lame. The only party near me (Mozilla HQ Party) is invite only. Almost as sad as the time I was out of town for my local LUG's Debian birthday (Ian Murdock attended).
    • nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1There's a party in Lethbridge! Ha ha, that'll be a rager. Maybe Taber will come.
    • skyshock21, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8I hope they're giving out RAM!!!


      {ducks}
    • therernospoons, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Boooooo to those parties that require invites. Whatever happened to the open source idea to have open parties? ;)
    • polumrak, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1@ziadoz, you spend too much time with computer.
      Get a life.
    • ziadoz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@pulumrak
      I take it you didn't notice you were at a computer when you wrote that? By your own standards you have no life.
  • gatorsrule21, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Anybody else remember these from the 1.0 launch?
    • Litespeed, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Yeah and they weren't cool then either.

      Seriously, how would it sound explaining it to your mates?

      - "I'm going to a party on Friday...."
      - "Who's is it?"
      - "Mozilla's"
      - "Who's that?"
      - "They make a web browser"
      - "You're going to a party to celebrate software???"
    • nazsco, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1From the second i upgrade firefox and it started reloading the page when i'm to see it's source, I went back to Opera. Good launch party to you all.
  • pwill, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15How 'bout an IceWeasel launch party!?
  • kurth, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2Nothing in Montreal?! What the hell? If I lived I would host, but I'm only a weekend visitor. :-(
  • dynacrylic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Nothing in WV! ... and nothing close to WV.

    Too bad my little apartment wasn't any bigger. I would have a shing-ding then.
    • exobyte, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1The Silicon Valley party is invite only, so don't feel too bad.
  • LeftistPersona, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5haha, i'd host one for all the free stuff they'd send you
  • archerx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1So who's hosting the Switzerland party?
  • ki1022, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10They should consider giving out bundles of dank instead of schwag.
    • kidd3ckz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7i will travel up to 120 miles to attend any party handing out dank.
    • fatalfury, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Heck, I'd take the free schwag
  • Kahnza, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5What is the official launch date for Firefox 2? Anyone know?
  • mandarin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Whats the party for? Launching of a 2nd version of their application? We do that every day, no one throws us a party.
  • fatalfury, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Last time I checked schwag is slang for crappy weed
  • baxtermadux, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1this is probably the funniest thing i have ever read on here. i love it. i cant wait till the pictures form these parties get posted. theres going to be dorks with whoop juice splattered all over their apartments.
    • ki1022, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Please tell me whoop juice is not what I think it is...
  • Corrosionx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I personally party everytime they release a nightly build.
  • supaflystud, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Man I am a fanboy for linux no doubt about it, but I would feel a little uneasy @ a party about a browser, especially at one which I knew no one. Not saying I wouldn't think about attending it though for some logo'd out pens and other crap :0)
  • ki1022, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Who's coming to my IE7 party???!?!?! Cmon guys!!
  • GerryDaman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I'm having a Google party soon too. yee ha!
  • crazymunch, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0YAY I set up an AUSSIE Party!
    (Nick's party)
  • Kragnerac, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Ubuntu Edgy Eft Release Party!!! :D
    • thefinger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm digging some of you guys up, just for having the party spirit. Like someone else said, never mind what the party's for. I'd go if there were one in my locale.
  • Jammerdelray, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Not at all over the top.....Opera did the same thing when they released Opera 9.0....Just a way of Celebrating Firefox turning 2. I'll be going to the Ale House Party.
  • iNoles, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Wow, one party in Florida is Gainesville, i'm not going there.
    • thefinger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I hear that is Deliverance country. But that could be just an ugly rumor.
  • digitallysick, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Now we just need 500 people ready to part for ICE weasel, and when they are told its firefox, to look sad, and walk out
  • walkingcrow, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Sad, I don't see any party's in wyoming.
  • itanshi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I added one in Indiana. I'm up for suggestions on how to conduct it.
    • thefinger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Make up some key Firefox questions and make sure your party guests can answer them at the door. You don't want any scummy IE users or the snooty ingrates who use Opera. It's just that I'm not sure what the key questions would be.
  • NiX0n, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Aren't I lucky. What a coincidence :)
    I'm hosting a huge LAN party that weekend. Yall should come, (It's in Michigan)

  • webwormx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I'm Hosting a big one in Mountain View, CA
    http://www.firefoxparty.com/parties/view/113
  • greatromance, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1LOL I didn't think there would actually be a party in Utah. W00t.
  • atomicnoodle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Seems ridiculous to me. A party for a web browser?!?!
    • Majken, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0No, the party is for the people that want to go to the party and socialize with others who have the same interests. How is that any more pointless than having a party where everyone lugs their machines with them to sit in a room playing the same video games with the same people that you play with when you were at home? They're both pointless, and they're both FUN!
