The Firefox Crop Circle

Note: Sorry to everyone who commented that this is an old news story. I try to verify the accuracy (and I have previously found stories that were very inaccurate), but this one slipped through. This is about a year old, but it is still interesting. Sorry.

Everyone who uses open-source software knows that many people devote hours and hours to development, planning, art, and so on, but crop circles might not be the first thing that comes to mind when people think of open-source. The Oregon State Linux Users Group created a gigantic Firefox crop circle. (Picture) You can read more about the process at The Fox Tales or see a video about it here.

As it turns out, the Oregon State Linux Users Group is not a stranger to massive Firefox projects. They painted a huge version of the Firefox logo on the sidewalk and sent a balloon carrying the Firefox logo up into the sky.

    The date on the pictures states, that this happened before Dezember 2006. So this is at least one year old…

    Hardly in the Loop on that one … SlashDot (where I found
    it originally) … was reporting it as it was happening if
    I remember correctly …
