Hello

START OF "Move your Tux, Move your Gnu": SATURDAY 11th OCTOBER 2008

ORIGIN
A
member of the Ubuntu-fr community, Karadine, had the idea to make a Tux
travel around the world and to make it end up on Linus  Torvalds' desk.

GOAL
By doing this we want to show that GNU/Linux is not only code and data but also a human community.
So we want all together to thank Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds, and to make a Tux and a Gnu travel around the world.

HOW IT WORKS
We
bought two fluffies (a Tux and a Gnu: you can see the Tux in the
gallery). To have them travel, they will go from one hand to another,
and travelling with the one who has them, they will go from one town to
another, one country to another and one continent to another, ending
with Richard stallman and Linus Torvalds. The Tux and Gnu trips will be
shown on the website (see the map "where is Tux/Gnu")

The start
time will be the 11 october 2008 in France and Belgium. The Tux will
start from CHANTERAC (France)  and the Gnu from Mons (Belgium) to go
respectively to Linus Torvalds's home (Beaverton, Oregon -USA-) and
Richard Stallman's home (USA)..

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
To contribute to Tux's and/or Gnu's trip, come and register on the website: http://move-your-tux.fr.nf/  http://move-your-gnu.fr.nf/
Then
put your location on the world map, so you can see the others near you
and the others can see that you are near them. So you can make contact
to arrange the exchange.
You can also make some noise about the project (the more contributors there are, the more fun and good it is).
If you can, you are welcome to help us with translations, website maintenance,...
The rules are available for more details and you can always contact
