I kinda want to see someone film the history of Linux and FOSS in the docudrama genre.
Because if nothing else, the story, or dare I say, THE LORE of FOSS is full of choice fucking drama. It has everything: an evil conspiracy of the powerful, a rebellion of a wildly diverse and angry crowd led by a couple of charismatic leaders, tribes, schisms and betrayals, murders and suicides even, crashouts, last-second saves - and loads, and loads and loads of absolute characters.
Think the Game of Thrones meets Pirates of Silicon Valley.
