Flickr: Discussing Okay, you guys win. in We Demand Donuts: April 16 is the Day of the Donut!
Yesterday I blogged on a Flickr protest group that was demanding free doughnuts from Flickr. The story was picked up by CNET’s news.com and subsequently dugg over at digg.
Well it looks like the pro-donut crusaders have won at least this first battle. Matthew Rothenberg, a Flickr employee has agreed to buy any member of the “We Demand Donuts” group a donut at 11am in a to be determined downtown San Francisco location on next Wednesday, April 16th.
From Rothenberg’s post:
“While you have not yet reached your goal of 20K members, we at FlickrHQ have heard of your noble efforts and seek to answer your cries for justice.
Save the date: Wednesday, April 16th, 11:00am at a donut shoppe TBD in downtown San Francisco. I will purchase one (1) free donut for every We Demand Donuts group member who shows up.* (*While supplies last.)
This is not a joke.
Let glazed and jelly-filled freedom ring!”
