I also went to see Genius, I will definitely be visible and I'm fairly sure I was wearing my Hardy t-shirt that day but can't be certain. I will be wearing my hardy t-shirt to the IT crowd though, even though it wont be seen. Adam.

Last Friday, on my way home from work, I spotted a cyclist with an Ubuntu rucksack at the Peak Lane traffic lights on the A27 between Fareham and Titchfield.

My local bus company gives names to all its buses - one is called Intrepid. Does that count? Wonder if they'd like to change the colour scheme and logo on that vehicle Dianne -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Wonder if they'd like to change the colour scheme and logo on that vehicle I work in a IT, so to promote Ubuntu to my workmates I installed Hardy onto a PC, fired up the 3d desktop, pointed the monitor at the rest of the office and scrawled 'DIE' in flaming letters. This attracted a bit of attention from slightly freaked out people asking how I did it, allowing me to retort 'Tis Ubuntu my friend!'

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu-spotting (sort of)
How did you do it? Sean Just enable the 3d desktop in the appearance menu, then install compizconfig-settings-manager from universe. You can enable/disable all this kind of stuff in there, it'll also tell you the key combinations to do this kinda stuff for each option.

This Monday the Metro (that fine journalistic endeavour) ran a feature on how the first British-born space tourist (who is a US citizen) took the Metro, making it the first newspaper in space. It also mentioned some other space tourists including our very own Mark Shuttleworth! -- Josh Holland aka madmartian Catch me on #ubuntu-uk and #ubuntu -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

My daughter 5 year-old was on the way to school in the car when she shouted Mummy Mummy! Ubuntu!. She pointed to a lad of about 16 who was wearing an Ubuntu T-shirt. Also last Friday Clare and I went to the BBC Television Centre to see the filming of episode 6 of a TV programme called 'Genius' with Dave Gorman. There was one segment in it where I was behind the presenter with my big Ubuntu logo jumper on. Dunno if it will be spot-able when it's on next year.
