Welcome to the Digital Tipping Point’s new beta site. We are in the process of moving several years’ worth of data from our old site to this new location, but we wanted to give you a peak at our new digs right now! Keep your eyes on this site, because we are really excited about the new features we will be able to deliver here!

The Digital Tipping Point is a documentary film that will explore how the culture of sharing is spilling from the world of Free Open Source Software into the broader global culture. Our film is being put together the same way the Free Open Source Software is built, right now, right here, in real time in front of your eyes. The segments rolling in the box to your left are raw video segments that are streaming from the Internet Archive’s Digital Tipping Point Video Collection. You can be a part of our community! We need rough video editors, transcribers, animators, graphic artists, and compositors. If you would like to find out how you can help create this film, please email .

Canadian Banks giving away GNU Linux computers

Engadget tells this story better than I could:

"RBC Royal Bank is offering a free ASUS Eee PC when you switch to their checking account service. That's right, you get an actual computer after completing the move (and dealing with a lot of red tape). Sure, it's only the 7-inch, 2GB version, but it still runs Xandros way better than this solar calculator we got from our bank."
