[ubuntu-us-ma] Free Powered by Ubuntu Stickers

[Bill Simonds]

I have taken the liberty of ordering a roll of 100 stickers. I will
give them to you when they arrive. In the future you can get these for
free if you represent a loco. Go here to sign up.

They will send locos all the stickers as well as other promotional materials.
