Movie Night at TLUG?

[phiscock-g851W1bGYuGnS0EtXVNi6w at public.gmane.org]

How about this for a TLUG meeting? We could each throw a couple of bucks
into the pot, buy the DVD, and then show it at a meeting.

--------------------------------------------------------

REVOLUTION OS is now on DVD

REVOLUTION OS tells the inside story of the hackers who rebelled against
the proprietary software model and Microsoft to create GNU/Linux and the
Open Source movement.

On June 1, 2001, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said "Linux is a cancer that
attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it
touches."

Microsoft fears GNU/Linux, and rightly so. GNU/Linux and the Open Source &
Free Software movements arguably represent the greatest threat to
Microsoft's way of life. Shot in cinemascope on 35mm film in Silicon
Valley, REVOLUTION OS tracks down the key movers and shakers behind Linux,
and finds out how and why Linux became such a potent threat.

REVOLUTION OS features interviews with Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman,
Bruce Perens, Eric Raymond, Brian Behlendorf, Michael Tiemann, Larry
Augustin, Frank Hecker, and Rob Malda. To view the trailer or the first
eight minutes go to the ifilm website for REVOLUTION OS.

Companies such as Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Oracle, Wipro, Ogilvy & Mather,
OSTG, and Dreamworks Animation have rented REVOLUTON OS for private
theatrical screenings. It has also screened in numerous film festivals
including South By Southwest Film Festival, the Atlanta Film & Video
Festival, Boston Film Festival, and Denver International Film Festival.
REVOLUTION OS won Best Documentary at both the Savannah Film & Video
Festival and the Kudzu Film Festival.

REVOLUTION OS is available in the 35 mm motion picture format and runs 85
minutes.
