How very awesome. I wonder if they'd be open to installing Ubuntu (OS) on their POS Systems.
ReplyDeletelol, I like the quote under their logo.
ReplyDeleteIt seems, that the ubuntu-font is based on the font of their logo. ;)
ReplyDeleteCompare the cookie with the ubuntu brand.
I think this restaurant might welcome some more clients these days. There's nothing wrong with some free publicity as Linux is free (in speech) also.. To bad it's not free as in beer ;). Do they also have open source recipes? Great that you can see in the kitchen how they compile your meal :)
ReplyDeleteThe questions is Dustin - do they use Ubuntu in their restaurant or do the staff use it at home? Did they discover the name because of Ubuntu Linux (maybe a staff member uses it?) or did they come about the name some other way?
ReplyDeleteThe Ubuntu California team has played with the idea of having an event or meetup there, but it hasn't panned out yet.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, while I was on a flight recently out of San Francisco I was stopped on the plane by a woman who saw my Ubuntu t-shirt and asked if it was referring to the restaurant.
