Enjoying my birthday present

I’m working on some TPS reports (a survey of the users of OpenSRS client software) on the company-provided desktop computer, while watching my new birthday present, the DVD of the movie Revolution OS on my PowerBook. The movie is a documentary about the Free Software/Open Source/Linux movement, featuring interviews with RMS, Linux, ESR, Bruce Perens and the usual suspects. While the film doesn’t have much that will be new to someone who’s had a Slashdot account for a few months, it’s still pretty neat to see and hear the people in the scene. A number of people have stopped by my desk out of curiosity, enough to convince me to hold a lunchtime screening in one of the meeting rooms next week.

Thanks for the DVD, Paul!
