Open Source Software Arrest

I witnessed the arrest of an open source programmer at JavaOne! Simon Phipps where were you? Off writing another major article for Linux Journal presumably. The poor man was arrested by a mad parrot, even after he swore to work on only open source projects, and was taken away by a bunch of unelected generals to work on his code. I could not report on this, as I was too busy preparing my presentation.

I am mad. Mad!

I had already been similarly arrested.

Mhh, I see. That would explain your lack of intervention.... Looks like they make you work hard in that labor camp, as shown in this set of photos (not for the faint of heart!). Do you need help and release from your those labor camp conditions? I am willing to help out.

Note on comments:

I know the forms below are a little small. We have asked for years for this to be changed, but I don't think it's going to happen soon. In Apple's Safari you can resize the entry box with you mouse. For people using other browsers click on this javascript link, that should allow you to resize your form.
Comments are moderated, so they will take a little time to appear. Currently moderation means I have to read them personally. Hopefully with OpenId deployment, this will become more automated.
HTML markup no longer works here, due to some decision made somewhere. Sorry about that.
If you are having trouble posting, it may be that you need javascript to be enabled. I don't think javascript should be needed for submitting a form, but that's the way it is here.
