    A penguin ambled out on-stage at the opening session, and then off
    again. After a few minutes, Rusty appeared with a penguin head under
    his arm. "Ha, ha" said everyone, very funny, Rusty wore a penguin
    suit, yay. Then when everyone was thoroughly disarmed, Linus came
    back on in his usual casual way, wearing the headless suit. It took
    a minute or two for the penny to drop for quite a few people, but
    the cheers came.

    [...]

    The PenguinMeister wrote a book, and called it "just for fun." He
    tells us that's the secret to getting him to come to a conference:
    make it easy for him to come, make it fun, have some real content
    (not just marketing). Not the forced-hilarity commercial kind of
    fun, but the laid-back, playful, amateur, spontaneous fun that
    characterises so much of open source. Computer-illiterates reading
    that sentence might think I've been staring at monitors for too
    long, but yes, computer software can be fun, and we had some
    (software and fun) at LCA2003.
