This guy actually got berrated as a spammer on one of the Canadian LUG
lists.  He apologised and agreed in future to contact club execs before
making commercial posts, even Linux related ones.

Yep.  I have a car in Aus and since I will be in the country for 4 week
and will not be working I can probably manage to find the time to pick
them up :)

Show us some images of the stickers when you have those up.

Cool.  A console attendent who used to work at one of the Servos at the
Toowong end of Sir Fred Schonell Dr is/was a big Linuxer.  He could never
get the time off to attend meetings though.

For sure.  Then there is the story of a Sysadmin being asked to leave a
restaurant in the southern US (by patrons, no less) because she was
wearing a t-shirt with the BSDaemon on it.  Apparently attends to explain
that it was the mascott of an OS fell on deaf ears :)

Afraid not.  It just occured to me that this would be a cool image :)

Tux and the BSDaemon face on, arm in arm.

"United we stand"

Corny - sure :)

I'm just in one of those moods I guess :)

Seriously though, I love the idea of the stickers.
