Just Be Thankful It’s Not Stallman Posing

A lot of Open Source projects are copies of popular Microsoft products. Miguel de Icaza, Open Source alpha geek and creator of the GNOME desktop for Linux, continues this tradition by striking sexy poses Bill Gates-style. I added (in)appropriate captions below the photos; ask your geek friends if you don’t get the jokes.

(If you want to see these photos in their full glory at their original sizes, you’ll want to see this entry in Nat Friedman’s blog — follow the link and scroll down.)

“Some guys will just give you mono. I created Mono, baby!”

“Open Source is about programmers ‘scratching an itch.’ I’ve got a very personal itch I’d love you to scratch…”

“Open Source software is like sex in a committed relationship: you only think you’re not paying for it.”
