We, the undersigned, access BBC websites from within the UK, using Linux.
Ashley Highfield, BBC head of technology, claims that only 400 to 600 users are Linux users.
I know about a hundred, and I'm no Linux socialite! So surely he's talking nonsense
Sign below, and prove the BBCs head of technology wrong!
I honestly thought we would just find a few dozen people, but hitting 1,000 signatures is completely surreal. It turns out there are a lot more of us than the BBC believed, and this is entirely because you kept clicking and checking in.

Counting us is not that hard. Stop ignoring the open source community because we dont fit your narrow stats.
