[CoLoCo] get on the CoLoCo shirt wiki asap!

[David L. Willson]

I would never do the words "Open Source".  Those words don't mean
anything to non-gear-heads, I think.  I would do "Free Software" or
"Linux", because I can't think of anyone I know that doesn't get Linux,
but does get Open Source.  Linux seems to be more easily understood, and
~everyone~ knows, or can quickly figure out, what Free Software is.

Let's use my own dear mum as an example:  My mother would have a hard
time understanding the concept of "source", much less "open source", or
why that matters.  She has an idea that Linux matters, from me, and that
it doesn't suck, from using my computer, but I think she would
intuitively grasp "Free Software", and it might be a short leap to
explain why it matters.
