Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the figurative-figureheads dept.

SDenmark writes "Ever wondered what happened to UserLinux, and how it's faring now that Ubuntu has stolen the spotlight? Linux Format has an interview with Bruce Perens, founder of UserLinux, the Open Source Initiative and Linux Standard Base. Perens discusses the impact of Ubuntu, how industry bodies are helping open source and why figureheads are important for the Free Software community."

    Fear and Loathing in La SuSE (They've got the lizards, just need some product placement).
    Honey I Shrunk the Embedded Ubuntu.
    Star Wars XV: Attack of the CentOS (Didn't this happen in Tuttle, OK?)
    Miss Fedora Universe (Make the Geeks go crazy for models in Fedoras)
    A Beautiful Distro (A Linspiring movie)

    OK, I am done. But why not have product placement, much like Apple has done in popular culture for the past few years.
