Since I am a UNIX fan, I'll reproduce here the email from Open Group, as part of the celebration of 40 years of UNIX Systems.
Celebrating 40 Years of the UNIX® System
Forty years ago, the same year as Neil Armstrong's famous moon landing and the Woodstock concert, a group of employees at Bell Labs developed the UNIX® operating system. Today, as you well know, the UNIX system has become one of the most widely adopted operating systems in the world.
To commemorate its 40th anniversary, The Open Group, the steward of the UNIX standard and owner of the UNIX trademark, would like to invite you to join the "UNIX® License Plate World Tour" photo contest for a chance to win a free laptop!
The photo contest invites all UNIX system fans to submit a photo from around the world of their "traveling" UNIX license plates. Should you not have a UNIX license plate and would like to purchase one, they are available for purchase at http://www.opengroup.org/bookstore/catalog/n900.htm. All photos will be evaluated by a panel of judges for creativity, humor, and location for a chance to win a free laptop running a UNIX operating system. To participate in the contest, please send an email with the picture attached and the name of the city or location where it was taken to uniximages@unix.net no later than January 6, 2010 23:59 GMT. To view the stream of submitted photos, please visit http://www.flickr.com/groups/unix. The winner will be notified via email a! nd publicly announced at The Open Group Seattle Conference on February 1, 2010. For a full list of contest rules, please visit http://www.unix.org/40years/.
We hope you join us in celebrating the UNIX system's 40th birthday!
