[LCA2015-Chat] Fwd: #IStandWithLinus

[Amanda Jackson]

Hi Lana,

I couldn't see any #lca2015 or #IStandWithLinus linked either. As part of
the conf team I was actively monitoring the #lca2015 hashtag throughout the
conference (and am still watching it) so we could respond to issues
immediately if need be; I didn't see any mention of #IStandWithLinus linked
to the conference tag.

Cheers,
m
