1941 – The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor eliminates all hesitation to address the war. This sudden change in sentiment is reflected in a project Warner Bros. had planned as just another love story: CASABLANCA. In Humphrey Bogart’s character Rick, the film offers a fitting metaphor for America’s position on the edge of the war. Teams of writers debate the climactic final scene until the last minute to production, but the effort pays off: CASABLANCA wins the Oscar for Best Picture.

The last quartile of the 20th century was marked by a rise in software development by companies, individuals and hobbyist groups. Key among software development methodologies was a controversial yet innovative idea about giving away your software code for others to use and improve upon it.

Those new to the free and open source community may not appreciate how radical and dangerous the idea of giving away your source code for free was for people. Those that did subscribe to the ideology sacrificed tremendous profits and fame yet helped create what we now call FOSS today.

There will be no more ‘in Drive-Shot’s´’ with this car – a engine failure after less than 175’000km broke it unrepairable (not being worth enough ;))
