It could be something so widespread we hardly notice it, like DNS, or a personal story like how you rescued a broken laptop using Linux. It could be open hardware, or even an open source cola (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCola_(drink) ). The only requirement is for something open source which you're glad exists!

We're hoping to have a delayed meal together some time in January/February. If that happens, the details will of course be on this list.
