[LCA2015-Chat] Fwd: #IStandWithLinus

[Lana Brindley]

Thanks Amanda. I can't see any tweet with both the #istandwithlinus and 
the #lca2015 hashtag, and the #istandwithlinus hashtag is largely 
US-based. This makes me think it's probably off the back of the 
arstechnica article, not the conference talk itself. I'll keep digging 
though.
