Everyone who uses open-source software knows that many people devote hours and hours to development, planning, art, and so on, but crop circles might not be the first thing that comes to mind when people think of open-source. The Oregon State Linux Users Group created a gigantic Firefox crop circle. (Picture) You can read more about the process at The Fox Tales or see a video about it here.
As it turns out, the Oregon State Linux Users Group is not a stranger to massive Firefox projects. They painted a huge version of the Firefox logo on the sidewalk and sent a balloon carrying the Firefox logo up into the sky.

UltumixLite v0.0.0.1b released yesterday!
Is this what linux community waited for a long time?Ultumix is the new Linux distro that combines everything you want (- the illegal non-free stuff) for you and your computer customers already installed. It's already up to date and has a Vista like interface. I'm sure you can use it. However it's 1.3GBs.

I'm in WA state and have 800 kbs upload so be the first to get it. If someone wants to go to www.midnblowingidea.com/Ultumix and click sourceforge.net and sign up I would appreciate any help uploading to the CVS. Thanks. I will tell you up front that this distro has unintentionally created tension in the PCLinuxOS community. I use to be a member of their forums and I wanted to find out if I was doing everything the way they wanted since it was a remaster of their distro. I did everything I could to please them and they took it the wrong way. Someone told me that they thought I was trying to get support for my new distro in their forums, others said I was sending out spam (of course I have no knowledge of spam being sent from my account). I was also banned from the PCLinuxOS IRC Chat. They asked that I donate money to their distro that I made off of selling DVDs. I agreed to do it but now I can't communicate with them any more. If any of you are from the PCLinuxOS community and you are reading this I'm sorry for any misunderstanding that this might have caused and I hope we can work together in the future.
