For those of you who don't know what Open Source is, check Wikipedia, an open source encyclopedia here. I promise it's a subject matter that is important and will fascinate anybody who thinks they live digitally. So, I found the recent boycott announced by Open Source giants like Lawrence Rosen, Bruce Perens, Lawrence Lessig, Richard Stallman, Mitch Kapor, and Eric Raymond to be noteworthy. Apparently 29 notable open source advocates have a problem with some new possible policies of OASIS, an open source project itself. In an open letter (no pun intended) these Open Source pioneers call for a boycott of OASIS. I'm fascinated by these kinds of actions within the open source movement, because it continues to be a movement that governs itself without an actual governing body.
