It's snowing like crazy.
Our marquee outside reads;
UBUNTU 4 U
VISIT WWW.LINUXCAFFE.CA
Into the caffe klumps a girl, maybe 17 years old. She approaches the counter awkwardly, but with an impish grin, and asks Lisa "do you know what ubuntu means ?"
"..ummm .. uhhh.. it's a linux thing, right .. ? " Lisa's not really sure.
"an African word meaning "humanity to others" ?" I pipe in (showing off)
The snow covered girl says "I'm from Rwanda. ubuntu 4U means "free for you"" she grins.. it's a challenge. "Here ya go" I say, and hand her an official pressed ubuntu-linux CD. She just beams, seemingly satisfied, and heads back into the blizzard.
Now THAT's the sort of thing that can warm up a winters day !
