Congratulations to "Towel day" (Was: Towels for DebConf 18)

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi folks,

today is "Towel day"[1]! Yeah!

I wonder how the idea to have Debian towels for DebConf progressed.  I
admit I did not followed up but I remain on thinking that this is a
really cool idea.  I have not much time but if it needs some more hand
to realise this I try to do my best.

Kind regards

          Andreas.
