Sundance Channel Showing "Revolution OS" Monday Night

SnickleFritz writes "Monday the 18th at 9pm the Sundance Film channel will be broadcasting a documentary about the OSS Movement. It will feature interviews with Linus Torvalds, Eric Raymond and Richard Stallman. It labels them as "computer visionaries." While it will probably be old news to most people here, I will still tape it and loan it to every OSS doubting Thomas in my shop." CD: It should be noted that cmdrtaco is in this, talking about free software while lounging on an inflatable sofa at linuxworld. Clearly you'll want to go buy a big screen TV to watch this. This is the same movie that was screened at SXSW last year and at LinuxWorld a few times. Other people featured in the movie include Michael Tiemann, Bruce Perens and Larry Augustin.

    Sundance is nothing but a liberal hippy channel. It's crap. Figures Taco would be on it; he's nothing but a liberal bedwetter, and that is the reason I will never subscribe to slashdot. I'm sick and tired of the constant liberal bias in anything of a political nature. (example: the recent story on bush making nuke CONTINGENCY PLANS, which is required by law) So Taco, Fuck you and your piece of shit website. I'll rejoice the day your parent company dies.

    This is way off-topic, but I like how it's okay to discuss things unrelated to the story by saying "This is way off-topic." If you don't claim it, you'll get modded down, but as long as you "call" it, it's okay.
