Promo/Events/Release Parties/4.5

This page is for KDE SC 4.5 release party listings. Please follow the following template for readability.

If you have questions about organizing a release party you can contact the KDE promo team (kde-promo at kde.org) or Lydia (lydia at kde.org) directly.

It'd be great if you would write a short report on the event and send it to kde-promo at kde.org, including some photos from the event. We'll then turn it into a dot story!
