New face of open source

Friday, April 1st, 2005

The OSDL has hired Paris Hilton to be the new face of open source. Pamela Anderson lost out because of shorter legs. I can’t wait to see this video.

About

Colin Charles is a open source software hacker, photographer, world traveller, and journalist.

I live in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, after having spent many years in Melbourne, Australia. I tend not to spend too much time in KL, as I have a hectic travel schedule.

I work in the Database Group, at Sun Microsystems, after the acquisition of MySQL.
