Welcome.  I am not an active member here but have subscribed for a while
now and am a long time Ubuntu user. I don't recall other subscribers here
from Africa (but that may be a failure of recollection).  I'm curious
how the African connection of Ubuntu is recieved there.

About a year ago my wife and I attended a peace event here in North
Minneapolis which has a population that is about 1/2 African American
and half white. Archbishop Desmond Tutu spoke at the event and there was
to have been a march (parade) but the weather was quite cold and the
march was not held.

After the event I waited on the street where I saw a big car preparing
to depart.  I held the sign I'd brought for the march.  As the cars went
by I saw Bishop Tutu in the passenger seat of car with tinted windows
just as they pulled away and went right by me.  I think he saw my sign.
He waved to me.  My sign said:

  U B U N T U
  * Philosophy
  * Computer Operating system (Linux)
