Title: Linux Marketing???......
StoneColdSpider 31 Jan 2024
I see the Linux Marketing department has been hard at work recently......

We had not one but TWO!.... Penguin related news stories here in the past 24 hours.......

[King penguin turns up on Coorong beach in SA, thousands of kilometres from Antarctic home](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-01-30/king-penguin-coorong-beach-south-australia-from-antarctica/103403354)

[Angry little penguin stops plane taking off in New Zealand](https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/angry-little-penguin-stops-plane-taking-off-in-new-zealand/news-story/8982704620cb87837aebf53cee233deb)

Very ingenious marketing tactic to use Tux the Linux Penguin in the news media...... Keep up the good work boys......

:wink:

We need to turn all this free publicity into real numbers. Somehow.

For some reason, I'm reminded of that one time when some Linux users clubbed together to sponsor a penguin in Linus Torvalds' name. I don't imagine it made any difference on the publicity front, though. :tongue:

I was given one of those fundraising jumper-wearing plush penguins for my birthday several years ago! :grin:
