At Brewpal last night, a D7 party plan was formed
At the Drupal Release Party on January 7 at 7:00 at the Lucky Lab on NW 19th and Quimby, we'll be drawing for door prizes at 8, 9, and 10 pm. Win books, umbrellas, and Drupal 7 on a stick (for Windows). If you have schwag that you'd like to contribute, let us know! And if you can put together a USB-key install of a MAMP Stack and Drupal 7, we can give winners the option of Drupal 7 on a stick for OSX, too. I'll bring extra USB keys.
Some people have asked, and yes, we encourage you to bring Drupal-curious friends and acquaintances! No experience necessary. If you are a D7 contributor, sign up here and let us know. We want to celebrate the local contributor community.
Thanks to jami for coordinating Yolink beer sponsorship! Thanks to sarah_p, mikey_p, _double, halstead, illepic, myusic, BenK, and jhedstrom for contributions to planning and execution!
Another (awesome!) door prize in the mix
We have a velvet artist on staff at our company (who doesn't?), and he's painted us a few velvet Druplicons (!) to give away at the Drupal 7 release parties we'll be attending, including Portland. I wish I could win the thing, but I will try my best not to cheat.
Excited to buy everyone some drinks!

I contributed many patches to Drupal 7, most of them fixing classic WTFs and regressions from D6. I also wrote many of the SimpleTests for the new File API. I wrote other SimpleTests for API functions and random core-modules such as Poll. In addition to core patches, I committed 2 of my modules (Video Upload and Session API) to the D7CX pledge, so they will have supported releases the day D7 is released.

Not much on my end. There's a functional port of the MailChimp module (hat tip to BenK) and a couple of D7 Views patches. And, of course, playing/testing with each of the beta and release candidates.

No core patches, mostly work on Domain module collection. Hopefully will have a few more Domain * modules converted to D7 by Friday.

Observed fights/discussions in IRC and d.o issues queues over critical and trivial bugs.

I did about 80 Drupal Voices interviews with various core developers for Lullabot, and have been working on continuing the Lullabot Learning Series training videos, which have helped to train some of the core developers to make contributions -- including Jen Simmons, who lead the Bartik default theme effort. We also recently launched http://Drupalize.me, which has all of our Drupal training videos that I work on for my day job. We just released a D7 Overview video featuring webchick, quicksketch, eaton, jjeff and myself that's free for the next week: http://drupalize.me/videos/overview-drupal-7

Did a lot of work on the D7 ports of Private Message, Userpoints, and User Relationships. Working on those contrib module ports resulted in a few bug fixes to Drupal 7 itself.
See everyone at the party tonight! :-)

Drupal 7 release party photos
For those of you who are interested, I took 66 photos during our Drupal 7 release party, this past Friday. Theresa, Dan, Jiro (I believe) and myself were the last ones to leave at about 12:30 (yes, they had to throw us out as it was closing time). Anyway, the photos are posted on Picasa, here: http://bit.ly/h64aH7
