It includes interviews with major open-source figures such as Richard Stallman, Lawrence Lessig, Jon 'maddog' Hall, and Bruce Perens, as well as case studies and discussions of both Shuttleworth's (Ubuntu Linux) and other South African and global projects that have successfully used open-source elements.

    I can see this in America.

    "Barbara, hurry up! I'm dying over here!"

    "Keey your shorts on Michael, I'm recompiling the antidote analysis software as fast as I can!"

    On second thought, no not really. More like...

    "What the hell does it mean /dev/cdrom not mounted? I have to f*ck this thing? Why did you have to be such a geek and not buy Windows with Fortran pre-loaded from the science supply shop like your brother? Michael? Michael? Oh great, the one person who can walk me through this idiot box to design an antidote is out cold from toxic shock."
