; Open Source Landmarks
: '''The GNU/Linux OS (1991)''' → The "Holy Grail" of open source: a complete, free operating system that is more powerful than Windows or Mac.
: '''Wikipedia (2001)''' → The "Open Source of Knowledge." It proved that the "Bazaar" method works for "Writing" as well as for "Code."
: '''Android''' → The "Open Source" core of the world's most popular phone OS, which allowed "Thousands of phone companies" to compete with Apple.
: '''Log4j (2021)''' → The "Scary" reminder of our dependence. A tiny "Open Source bug" was found in a project run by "3 volunteers," and it "Broke the security" of almost every bank and government on Earth.
