[plug] Film on Open Source Movement: Revolution OS

[Sol]

Luna Cinemas offer special deals for group bookings as fundraising 
events. If we could somehow get hold of the film, we could possibly have 
a special fundraising screening to raise funds for Linuxconf? Trouble is 
we'd have to get around 50+ people to come along to make it worthwhile 
for both Luna and PLUG.
