A Geeko tattoo?

Apparently the nice folks over at SourceForge.net are having a tattoo artist at their Community Choice Awards next week at OSCON. Ross Turk asked whether I’d like a “tech-related tattoo” on Twitter. Sure, I said, I’ll get one if we can hit one million openSUSE 11.0 installs by the time of the party next week.
Now, that’s not terribly likely, but hey — if we hit the 1 million mark, I’ll totally get a Geeko tattoo. 
If we just hit 300K, I’ll just dye my hair green. So, if you’d like to see me sporting a geeko tattoo, start hitting up your friends, family, co-workers, and random strangers to install openSUSE 11.0!
Cool.
And… BTW I have green hair 
Go Joe! You know, because I believe so thoroughly in the personal engagement of community managers, I’ll pay for your hair dye job. You really should have it done professionally.

Sounds like a plan. Can’t wait to see how many installs we have by next week…
I want a photo
Hey Zonker.
I’m just trying to figure out where I can put it — being as I don’t have the same 2 roomfuls of machines you do.
Does a download count if I pinky-swear to install it on my spare machine as soon as I’m finished with the disk encryption project? (Yeah, I know, I can do that just as easily on SuSE as on Ubuntu, but I don’t want to start over.)
Sorry, no.
That doesn’t count — our registration counter doesn’t register pinky swears… Maybe I should file a bug…
Talk about grass roots marketing!
Good luck, Joe!
Getting a tattoo is a horrible idea. They are permanent, you know.
LOL - take a picture for the newsletter - btw, how many installs do we have atm ?
