Ubuntu Hour CD bribery program!

[Bob Jonkman]

On Saturday, 28 May I'll be spending some time at the Linuxcaffe from 
early evening until DJP kicks me out.

If I can get away with calling this a one-time Ubuntu Hour event, can I 
bring along some Ubuntu CDs to be left at the 'caffe?

Advertising of this "event" will commence on 
irc://irc.freenode.net/#linuxcaffe and teh social medias as soon as 
there is an event to advertise...

--Bob.
