I'm thinking about starting a new sport called Ubuntu Spotting. Using your keen eye, look out for indications of Ubuntu use in every day life. Points are awarded for spotting:-
* Machines running Ubuntu * Articles about Ubuntu in mainstream press * Official Ubuntu "shipit" CDs * Overhearing people talking about Ubuntu * Spotting references to Ubuntu on other peoples computers * (suggestions?) Of course points can only be awarded if you happened upon these things, and not if you personally influenced their use or placement. I guess many of us play this game subconciously really, but I think we should be more active in this sport, and promote its play. I had one of these today.. I got called into a workshop style meeting at $work where a representative from $large_software_vendor came in to talk about their $fantastic_product. He put up his laptop PC on the projector and in amongst the mess of icons on his Windows XP desktop I spotted an Ubuntu ISO image. Probably not worth many points in this game, but still, a spot is a spot! "Have you spotted today?"
