Cory Doctorow, John Henson and Erik "Possum" Stewart came up with the concept over lunch. They were trying to think of a way to promote the open source nature of the product.

When last I checked, there were still thousands of cans of the stuff sitting somewhere in a warehouse in Oakland. <a href="http://monkeybum.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Amanda Foubister</a> (who undertakes more interesting crfat projects in a week than I have in my entire <em>life</em>) came up with the recipe for the homemade version, which was pretty tasty with a strong cinnamon finish.

I now promise never to use that word again. BTW, while at OpenCola, were you involved at all in the beverage? Happy Blogiversary man. I now promise never to use that word again.
