Wrapped In a Tarball
The holidays are upon us. Chanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, Boxing Day, Family Day, Christmas, New Year's... whatever your nationality or faith, odds are you've got one coming up in the next week or so. If you don't, you can very likely make one up.
So, call me a sappy romantic if you must, but what I want for Christmas this year is this: for all of you to look around and really look at what you have created. It is more than just 1's and 0's, more than just Linus Torvalds' fan club, more than just the anti-Microsoft.
Linux, Firefox, OpenOffice, Apache, GNOME, KDE... to list them all would be futile for this one writer. But all of them share one important trait: they are the ultimate expression of what Humanity can do when its members put aside their differences and create something better than the sum its parts. It is the true meaning of giving and sharing, all wrapped up in a tarball.
