Yeah.

Perhaps something along the lines of "Why we love Open Source and Free
Software" [1] would entertainingly represent the tenor and passion of our
community, rather than having the usual staid summary of what it all means.

Might be fun to get some commentary on this anyway, and figure out if it's
worth putting on the website later.

Why do *you* love Open Source and Free Software?
