How Easter Eggs are Like Open-Source

(Alright, give me a break, finding anything to write about on Sundays in general is hard enough, let alone a holiday Sunday.)

Even wondered how Easter eggs are like open-source/Linux? (Answer: No.) Anyway, if you are really stuck for something to write about, it turns out they are quite similar. Here is why:

  • There are many different types just like there are many different Linux distributions.
  • They are made by many different people from many different places in the world just like open-source software is often developed by people all around the world.
  • People share them and give them away.
  • They are often not created for profit.

Since they are already so similar (at least if you have nothing else write about), I decided to turn some Easter eggs into Linux eggs, continuing on the Linux pumpkin idea:
