Roblimo writes "Linus Torvalds and his bosses at OSDL have finally realized that the biggest problem getting businesses to adopt GNU/Linux is that most FOSS programmers wear sandals and have ponytails. They've teamed up to offer style tips for the IT set. NewsForge Reports on comments from OSDL CEO Stuart Cohen, saying that if OSDSU works as planned, the open source community 'can be as successful at delivering new products, bug-free and on time, as Microsoft is doing with Vista.'" NewsForge is part of the OSTG family, along with Slashdot.

"MBA Eye for the OSS Guy," or something like that?
Open Source Clothing? by Paulo's+News · 2006-04-01 10:23 · Score: 2, Funny

I don't mean to be negative at all, I'm just concerned: If the OSDSU starts pushing people to wear Open Source clothing, is this necessarily a good thing? Sure, most of the garments are free and made with good karma, but the care tags are a foot long, the weaving on one sleeve is twice as think as the weaving on the other, and the inside of the watch pocket says "/* Mr T ate your mom's balls */"
