Last night, I was listening to FLOSS Weekly (Episode 16: Jeff Waugh) on my way home. Jeff Waugh, a former Canonical employee, was talking about the camaraderie of the Ubuntu development team. At one point he said that the team was creating a dance for every release they make, and that his favorite was the Badger dance (which was for the Breezy Badger release). Leo Laporte and Chris DiBona got curious about the dance that they looked for it on the internet and found a clip of the dance. The music was catchy, with a somewhat Techno feel to it (I was only able to hear it since it was just a podcast). What got my curiosity was that after checking out the link to the Badger dance, Leo was laughing! Upon reaching home I fired up my computer and pointed the browser to Google.

I got a link to it, and it was so hilarious to think that the development team was doing the dance on one of their parties. Imagine a bunch of geeks doing this:

Really funny.

Apparently, it’s been all over YouTube, much like the Numa Numa dance.

Here’s a link to the original page to the Badger dance.

Enjoy!
