For the past two years or so I've been getting more and more addicted to the open source movement. The whole concept of a community donating their time to building software, in a collaborative effort, to give that software to the world freely just appeals to the inner hippie in me.
What really got me hooked into these ideals was when I saw it's full potential unleashed in the short film Big Buck Bunny. The short animated film was produced by the Blender Foundation, released in 2008 and is truly an impressive accomplishment. All the software used to make the movie was open source (majority of the work being done in Blender 3D). The movie itself is creative commons and pretty much all the elements, textures and characters are all open source and available for download so that you can use them to learn from them.
