ok, so its just a 1 minute 30seconds (for all you mathematically challenged) The idea was to allow us to express our view on somthing.
So, i am going to talk about open source software, and how it pwns all propriotry software. I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT LINUX, although that might come up once or twice.

can I plz get some suggestions as to what to talk about.
should I start with "in the early days of computing, everyone shared their code"
or
"didn't your mum allways tell you to share your toys?"

and can someone please explain gnu and gpl. (the Google search bar is too far away.

thanks and I will tell you how many people I get over to oo.o and ff.

Knowing what kind of audience you will have could be helpful.
