Open Source Gets Its Own TV Show
ChocLinux writes "A South African organisation has produced what it claims is the first television series dedicated to promoting open source software. The first episode of the show included an interview with Richard Stallman, who founded the GNU project, and Robin Rowe, who runs the Linux Movies Group, which promotes the use of Linux in Hollywood."
...is the show itself open source? Can I re-edit the show?
It is tentatively titled "When Penguins Attack"
On todays show "Configuring your TV to run open source Beowulf software" "In Soviet Russia Open Sources You!" "But can it play OGG?" "Welcoming our Open Source bearing Geek Overlords!"
Guaranteed to jump the shark in Season Six when Stallman opens a taco stand.
Also coming soon, EMACS the show.
Be warned, you'll need to map Ctrl-Alt-Meta-Play to your remote in order to do anything useful with the show.
Vi pundits have also announced their own show. This one will automatically re-map all of the keys on your remote so that each key will have an unidentified cryptic function whose purpose is not revealed even after pressing the button.
Once the show starts, the viewer is greeted by a blank screen. This blank screen will remain indefinitely until the user figures out the remote-key combination to quit the program. Don't mess up, because then you might not be able to quit at all!
In order to actually watch the show, you will have to press an unidentified button on the remote which will allow you to watch the show.
