Just couldn't help sharing this - specially for the Married Men Club!!!

Managing results without fat pay cheque - the Open Source Way

Came across this excellent animation video from M.I.T - which seems to clear some of the fuzziness and mystic of why Open Source is so successful. Of course there is reference to Linux. And credibility of the research can be gauged from the fact that it is from M.I.T (not the Chennai one - but the real M.I.T :-] and believe it or not - has references to India (Madurai in particular!)) .

Though a bit longish - about 11 minutes, it is pretty interesting - a must for top level managers - who are under the impression fat pay cheque can achieve results!! This is a real eye opener. And for Open Source fans like me - well, we always knew that there was something right about the Open Source philosophy!!

Enjoy the video!!!

New kid in town - Pinguy OS

Wanna try out Pinguy OS at the earliest
Check out: http://pinguy-os.sourceforge.net/

From the web-site:

Pinguy OS is an optimise build of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Minimal CD with added repositories, tweaks and enhancements that can run as a Live DVD or be installed. It has all the added packages needed for video, music and web content e.g. flash and java, plus a few fixes as well. Like fixing the wireless problems, gwibber’s Facebook problem and flash videos in full-screen.

Everything is set-up for samba, all you need to do is right click a folder you want to share and add a password in samba using system-config-samba.
It also has a UPnP/DLNA server (pms-linux) so you can share your music, video’s etc. With a PS3, XBOX 360, Smart Phones or any other UPnP/DLNA media reader.

Logo design using Open Source tools

Some logos for T-shirts and Caps (thats the reason no shadows or gradient used!) that I designed today for a upcoming tournament using basic Open Source Graphic tools. (Creative Common Attribution License applies to my work)
 

Wonder which one would be finally selected.
