10 things you did not know about Karmic Koalas (or maybe you did)
- They originate from Barcelona, Spain.
- You can help create this wonderful creature from 25-29 May 2009 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS)
- They will be available worldwide in October 2009, consider adopting one.
- They may not be brown.
- They are crafty hackers, since it is a unknown fact that bamboo make great cantennas.
- They can make servers dance in the clouds.
- A Karmic Koala is amazing looking, even when it first starts up.
- They are one of the worlds fasts booting animals, much faster than the Chummy Cheetah.
- Community, they like saying community more than Jono Bacon. Community Community.
- Under their fur is another fist (of open source goodness).
