[Wylug-discuss] Revolution OS - The Showroom, Saturday 26 July at 4.00pm

[Bill Best]

Sheffield Indymedia [1] has organised a showing of
Revolution OS [2] at the Showroom [3]:

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

 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.

 The Showroom -- Saturday 26 July at 4.00pm

Tickets £3:00/£2:00 (concs)
