Accidental open source hero

,----[ Quote ]
| âIn the heart of any open source project there is a circle of copying, 
| modifying and sharing, all of which takes place without having to go through 
| a central process,â he explains. âThat is what drives the diversity of 
| ideas.â

Time to Help an Open Source Hero

,----[ Quote ]
| I've given $10, which may not be much, but if just a few dozen Linux Journal 
| readers did the same, his hospital bills would be covered, and there might 
| even be some money left over for the HeliOS Project too.

16,000 Linux computers delivered - for free

,----[ Quote ]
| With his non-profit organization called Alameda County Computer Resource 
| Center, he built up a volunteer organization, collects donated stuff from the 
| companies who provide them, strips any proprietary OS and software off the 
| drives, re-installs everything with Linux and free applications, and then
| gives them to schools or other not-for-profit organizations or individuals 
| without too much cash. Â
|
| A great man with a great mission. CNN called him a hero already.
