The kids can hardly wait get any sleep in anticipation of Christmas. I don’t blame them. I couldn’t sleep either when I was their age. I submitted my ‘list’ to my parents and hoped that they would get the biggest, most expensive gift on the list. I would often be surprised, and sometimes disappointed (on the naughty list those years). I am rarely disappointed nowadays with Ubuntu. It makes a perfect gift for anyone you might know, still though there are a few things I would like to ask for and in this episode I ’submit’ my list to St Mark, patron Saint of Canonical (whoa, sounds way too Catholic…memories flooding back. No! not the ruler!!! Not again…). I realize that this list is most likely incomplete at best. So feel free to leave a comment by pressing on the word comments at the end of the post and adding to the list. Please, leave a name (real or otherwise) so I can showcase it on the next podcast. It beats being called ‘anonymous’. I hope you enjoyed the podcast!
