Ubuntu Ice House: Repeat Event Today!

[Dave Sullivan]

We were ordered by the police to take the penguin down about 20 minutes after 
his initial deployment, due to "safety concerns." However, we stuck around 
for two hours, handing out CDs and and pamphlets, which we're going to do 
again today.

Tux will be on site again, this time with sandbags, to anchor him down to the 
ground, solving the safety concern issue.

Come on down if you'd like to show your support!
