It makes it look like the "unknown" person thought Ubuntu is not suitable primarily for people. Placing "servers" after "people" would be a better marketing act making it look like Ubuntu is so good that while-being user-friendly it is ALSO capable of server operation. Server admins don't look for OS on billboards while normal users can IMO. IMO I don’t think it was a good idea to like-additionaly place “servers” before “humans”.

I took the picture from my cellphone cam going 70 mph. :) No idea who paid to put it up, but my guess is Canonical is probably involved.
