And they misspell his name. Nice. :-)
Fairly standard “open source isn’t just for hippies” article otherwise.
PS.: to the non-brits, it won’t be obvious what “the Beeb” is, at least until they see the link. I made the connection when I saw the pointer to the BBC because I’ve seen this expression elsewhere before. (In davorg’s weblog, maybe?)

You can also watch the programme as a Real stream. Not only do you get the interview with Damian and an interview with Tim O'Reilly, but there are also a couple of shots of Allison Randal, Autrijus Tang and Nat Torkington looking at a laptop.

Be warned, it 37MB, and the dratted server doesn't support resume.
