Tux for open sew-ers (NewsForge)

[Posted June 8, 2006 by cook]

NewsForge looks at the Free Penguin Project. "Tux has gone open source in a different way. The Free Penguin Project provides free GPL sewing patterns and advice so that anyone who meets the hardware requirements can create a fluffy stuffed penguin of their own; specifically, would-be Tux tailors need access to a sewing machine and fabric. Joerg Feuerhake, the head of the project, calls the patterns "free executables.""

Hahaha, that is awesome! Looks like a ton of people have made their own Tux stuffed animals. Almost makes me want to take up sewing. Must ... resist ... too ... many ... hobbies ... already...
