There's a new movement afoot (and I'm of course participating).
We're trying to get Linus Torvalds voted one of Time's Man of the Century
awards!
We're hoping to get 1 million Linux users to vote Linus as a "Builder and
Titan". What we need right now is a lot of help spreading the word. It's going
to take a massive undertaking to reach one million Linux users.
The goal is to have Time magazine see such a massive upwelling for an unknown
(in the mainstream press), that they will devote time, and magazine space, to
explore how someone could be so popular, but so under publicated. It would get a
spotlight on GNU code, the FSF, and Linus and Linux in particular.
The reception on this has been very positive on those that have been reached,
but we need more people spreading the word. That means we need *you* to
participate. Make this the topic of the day! Tell everyone you know. Make a
.signature. Heck. Even get your family to vote!
Vote Linus Torvalds, father of Linux a man of the century as a builder and
titan! Spread the word, spread it far. Let's contact every Linux user out there
to let them know to participate!

(Remember: Builders and Titans section.) C'mon - Bill has 468605 votes. Linux
users can do better than that!
