I recently blogged about making open source software, and the high level steps for how to think about the process. We started with the need for software to seed the discussion, the need for clear motivation as to why to publish as open source software, and then the structural requirements to build a community (license choice, collaboration platform or forge, and governance considerations). Contributions are the life blood of any community, so lastly we talked about the need to build an onramp to encourage users that will hopefully become contributors, and the additional onramp needed to make it easy to contribute.
Rory MacDonald (@technocreative) challenged in the comments that there are substantial commercial motivations for a company to develop open source projects that go beyond a desire for collaboration, and provided a number of examples. I completely agree, and I'd like to build on these ideas.
Why as a company (rather than as an individual) would you want to "make" open source?
Again we have two types of making to consider:
- A company can contribute to an open source project that already exists.
- A company can create a new open source project (either by publishing existing software or creating new).
If we consider a company making contributions to an "outside" project then we should do so from the perspective that this is an advanced case of collaboration where the open source project is being used in a product or service the company offers to customers for sale. Think Red Hat and using Linux to deliver Red Hat Advanced Server. Otherwise, contributing to a project that is used strictly in-house pretty much looks like the discussion in the previous post -- it's about engineering economics and shared innovation and living on a fork gets expensive over time unless it can be balanced against the costs of maintaining a business advantage through secrecy (e.g. the way Google used Linux in the early days).
Participating in an external open source licensed project is a case of expanding traditional corporate thinking of "build" versus "buy" to include "borrow" and "share". It's about time-to-solution if a company uses the project in-house and about time-to-market if the project is used to develop a product or provide a service to customers for sale. One needs to remember as a company using open source licensed software in a product or service that the company exists to solve a problem and create a marketplace around the solution. This is all about Levitt's observations about solving customer problems ("needing a 1/4 inch hole") over selling products ("the drill"). Red Hat wasn't "selling a Linux distro" but rather providing a professionally maintained and supported low cost PC-based server replacement for expensive proprietary UNIX systems on expensive proprietary hardware.
The interesting problems when using an externally developed open source project as a company are in understanding the flow of ownership of the intellectual property with respect to the software. There are a couple of predominant concerns:
- What legal risks are possible that need to be managed against a company's risk profile. This should not be taken lightly. Companies are more interesting legal targets than individuals. Even if a company is using the software internally rather than in a product or service, there is still a risk profile to consider. It's not that the risk is greater than purchasing a proprietary software solution from a vendor but one needs to feel comfortable that the externally run open source licensed project has appropriate IP management safeguards in place.
- What intellectual property is being contributed to whom. Again, companies are often uncomfortable contributing their own hard won R&D investment to others (even partners) without crisply understanding the return.
As a company each of these legal concerns comes with additional legal responsibilities. Open source software foundations provide solutions to these problems by providing neutral non-profit space in which companies can collaborate together, and backing the space with proper IP management practices. The Apache Software Foundation, the Eclipse Foundation, the Linux Foundation (né OSDL) and the Outercurve Foundation were all created to manage the risk around these software IP problems.
The discussion becomes interesting when a company considers creating its own open source licensed projects. Rory's examples speak to benefits. Let's start with the motivation again. People are often very good at understanding their "gut" motivation for doing something. The larger a company becomes the more thought and documentation needs to go into such decisions, especially once a company goes public.
If the project to be published under an open source license is "infrastructure" for the company, then the motivations are all based on shared innovation and distributed engineering economics. This is what we see with data centre-centric projects created by the likes of Amazon, Yahoo, Google, Twitter, Netflix, or the Facebook Open Hardware Initiative. The company starting the project is sharing work in which they have invested time and energy in the hopes that others will join the project, use it in new ways thereby hardening the software and contributing at the very least bug reports, but also hopefully extending and evolving it.
When this is the motivation, all the discussion in the previous article comes into play around making open source. Essentially, one needs:
- Useful software as a base around which to build a community.
- Motivation to share, credible expertise in the problem to be solved, and an understanding of the software structure to anchor the open source community.
- The project needs to have the structural issues of license, forge, and governance decided, even if governance becomes an evolving discussion in a growing community.
- The community needs to build a solid onramp to encourage use, and a second onramp for users to become contributors. The sooner this happens in a project's life, the faster it can build a community.
The additional consideration to encourage corporate participation and contribution needs to be software ownership, legal risk, and IP management around the contributions. This is where considering using existing open source software foundations comes into play. Corporations are far more likely to contribute their software to a neutral non-profit for mutual benefit.
But as Rory points out, there are business motivations for creating open source projects as well. A company's executives want to "increase business" but does that mean increase leads in the sales pipeline? Or build a community of evangelists that firmly anchor the company's products and services while providing proof points and expertise to potential new leads.
Using free and open source software in a commercial setting doesn't change the nature of running a business. One needs to clearly understand that customers buy solutions to problems and what problem the company is solving. Geoffrey Moore demonstrated some time ago that companies offering the best "whole" solution win, i.e. a core product or service and all its complementing products and services around a more complete ecosystem. This has a lot to do with shaping a "complete" solution to account for the subtle differences that customers perceive they have around the problem space. Successful companies essentially offer a portfolio of products and services and as long as the sum of the costs of delivering the portfolio is less than the sum of the revenues (spend less than you earn), the company is profitable. Taking a portfolio approach allows a company to play with their pricing models and differentiate themselves for customers against similar competitors.
Open source software can play a number of roles in such a portfolio approach. A company can:
- Sell support, upgrades, customization, training and "stability" to a product that is otherwise provided as an open source project. The best example is probably Red Hat "selling Linux" when it doesn't own the core IP. The "product" isn't the software. JBoss tried several of these approaches before their Red Hat acquisition.
- Sell a core product (licensed as proprietary or open source) while encouraging an ecosystem of complements from partners around open source licensed projects.
- Allow customers to try the "product" in its simplest form as a set of unsupported unwarranted binaries for "free", i.e. downloading the community/developer editions, to self-qualify themselves in the sales pipeline. (This was very much how MySQL built both its businesses.)
These items all speak to the delivery of the product and the pipeline. A company can also develop a community of users of the open source project that act as a source of expertise and experience for potential customers.
A community of developers and users is an essential piece of the whole solution. Some companies develop large successful communities without ever publishing their product software. IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP have all done this to great success. This is why community building is so important for your company and why community development is an essential ingredient in your solution pitch to customers. User and developer communities (regardless of open source):
- Anchor customers both in an engaged relationship as well as from a technology perspective.
- Create knowledge, expertise and experience necessary to provide a complete solution for the technology pitch to the customer. These proof points are invaluable when potential customers are self-qualifying themselves and testing the strength of a solution's community.
- Create advocates and evangelists to spread awareness about a solution.
- Create enormous inertia in the status quo around a technology.
These variations all rely on remembering a couple of related "rules":
- An open source licensed project is not a complete product solution for most people.
- Project community users and developers are not solution customers. Community members tend to have time to spend on a solution but no money while customers have money and are looking for time-to-solution and certain guarantees.
Creating an open source project can be as simple as publishing software using an open source license, and this gives customers insight into the workings of a solution. But if you ignore community building activities, you're losing all the benefits that come from an engaged base of customers and users of your technology.
Clearly understanding the benefits of using open source licensed software for delivering time-to-market, providing a rich complement ecosystem, and enabling communities to anchor the ecosystem in place allows a company to set its motivations correctly. One can discuss the investment in effort as a way to understand the motivation. We can contrast the publication of the software as open source and the effort required to develop the community against the evolution of the commercial product in terms of investment and value returned.
This also allows a company to understand the problems with half measures. Companies sometimes treat "open source" licensing as marketing pixie dust, instead of rightly understanding its place in the solution portfolio or the need to build genuine community that will lead to solving customer problems, and ultimately delighting said customers which can be measured in profitability. They try to limit access and only approach community half-heartedly because ultimately they're unsure of the benefits. Fully appreciating the benefits allows a company to fully engage with both community and customers to solve problems.
Rory also mentioned the use of open source projects to undermine a competitor's margins. This is a level of competitive play by large complex companies in well-established markets that warrants its own blog post. We save it for another day, and instead stay focused on the commercial positives of making open source software.

Children, adults enjoy opening of Discovery Playhouse on Broadway
Thursday, April 22, 2010 ~ Updated 12:10 AM
Within minutes after the doors opened Thursday at The Discovery Playhouse, a children's museum, children were swarming over the big plastic animals in the window, using the pneumatic tube at the play bank and ringing up groceries at the supermarket.
But a look around the room showed that the smiles on the adults on hand -- many who had put in long volunteer hours to bring the museum to life -- were as big, if not bigger, than those on the children themselves.
"It is a hoot!" said Marla Mills, executive director of Old Town Cape as she watched children dash from exhibit to exhibit.
The first child in the door was Emilie Dickson, 4, who came with her mother, Brynda Dickson. They decided to attend opening day, Brynda Dickson said, after hearing about the museum during a visit to the library.
They made the morning visit before her daughter was scheduled to go to her preschool classroom.
"My daughter said, 'I want to go,' and although she usually sleeps until 10, she came in before 9 and I got her fed and out the door," she said.
Emilie really liked the grocery display, sponsored by Schnucks, Brynda Dickson said. "She asked, 'I can put in anything I want?' and she chose flowers and a lot of other nonpractical things. It's great."
The Discovery Playhouse, 502 Broadway, has been in the works for more than two years. The first version was at the West Park Mall, where city planner Martha Brown said the group considering the idea wanted to test the popularity of a museum before pushing ahead. The mall location was popular but too small for school groups.
After one false start on a new location, the organizers found the empty 502 Broadway location and, with incentives from state tax credits, leveraged community donations to renovate.
"The thing that is really remarkable is the amount of community effort that has gone into it," Brown said.
The newly opened museum has plenty of room for groups, offering itself as a place for birthday parties and field trips. The first group in the door Thursday was from Community Day School, a class that includes interim executive director Janet Livingston's son Jonathan. It was actually Jonathan who, through talking about the museum, spurred the visit by the 16 children age 3 to 5, said Kathy Moore of the school.
"He got the class really excited," she said.
Jacob Miller and Marlette Southall found something they liked -- the dentist's office. While Southall sat at the desk to take appointments, Miller waited for pretend dental work in the full-sized chair.
Livingston said she loves her job and, when no one is around, tries out things herself. "The Dizzy Disc is pretty cool," she said, talking about a platform that rotates while the rider tries to stay balanced.
The museum opened Thursday but has hosted a few private parties before opening day. The groups gave the mostly volunteer staff a chance to see how children react and, Livingston said, learn something about how creative the children will be with the exhibits.
"We had one group in this weekend, all boys, and they decided to rob the bank," Livingston said with a smile.
The bank and grocery appear to be among the most popular exhibits, she said.
The museum is the first new attraction on Broadway that is consistent with the ideas established in the DREAM Initiative plan for the Broadway corridor. As he swept in front of Horizon Screen Printing a few doors away, owner Glenn Reeves looked over at the new museum and said he's glad to see it.
"It will be a fantastic asset for downtown Cape Girardeau," Reeves said.
Pertinent address:
502 Broadway, Cape Girardeau, Mo.

I took the call about 5am. I was expecting it: I had gone to bed the night before cradling my mobile. Into the dark dawn of my north London bedroom came my brother's voice from Canberra. It had a strange, soft tone in it that I had never heard before.
It's a girl, he said. I was a godmother and an aunt.
The first time I met her - this charge, this person for whom I had some undefined responsibility - she was about six months old, already sporting the prodigious belly for which she had become famous in the family circle.
It was impossible for me not to love her immediately, and fiercely. But she eyed me with great suspicion, less than pleased with the sudden appearance of an imposter, particularly one on such affectionate terms with the grandmother whose attention she had hitherto dominated.
But we became friends pretty quickly after that. My relationship with her and her equally brilliant little brother is based on a mutual love of buffoonery, and the fact that I will feed them successive ice-creams until they stop asking.
We also trampoline a lot. With or without a trampoline, they are the only people I know who literally jump with excitement when I visit.
My niece starts school in a few weeks' time. The belly has given way to a less babyish figure (we mourn the belly), and the Gypsy bride fairy dresses will have to become a weekend-only thing.
Things are going to get more complicated, and my duties as an aunt will evolve. At some point she will grow tired of the kissing monster game but she will need me in more practical ways.
The psychologist Steve Biddulph, author of the hugely popular Raising Boys, says that teenage girls are facing a ''catastrophe'' of mental health problems unknown to previous generations.
He has called for an army of aunties to rise up and stand staunch beside their nieces as they face the onslaught of adolescence.
Biddulph believes teenage girls have never been more unhappy, stressed and anxious.
They are bombarded with media images that not only tell them that hotness is more important than cleverness, kindness or even coolness, but define for them exactly what hotness looks like.
Hotness looks like a $25 boulevard prostitute and takes many of its cues from porn culture.
Girls are sexualised early and subjected to greater scrutiny, thanks to the unrelenting panopticon of social media.
The kinds of things my generation would have consigned to their girlish diaries are now blurted out to a gallery of peers on Facebook, and those peers can be very cruel.
Just when a girl's identity and her sense of self is at its most fragile, she is facing more potential rejection and judgment than the most robust of egos could handle.
''We have to love them better, make them stronger, and get the corporate world off their backs,'' Biddulph advises. ''We have to stop the trashing of girlhood.''
This is where the aunty army can mobilise. Aunties, he believes, can fill some of the gaps that mothers cannot. Mothers provide unconditional love, stability, routine and regularity. But as anyone who has ever been within eye-rolling distance of a teenage girl knows, they can't always be their daughters' confidantes.
Biddulph believes that girls' fathers set them up self-esteem-wise, and their relationship with their dad is a good predictor of how they will later relate to men romantically.
But good aunts are the key to girls becoming ''savvy and self-believing'', he says.
Aunts are the ones who, after their mothers, can be role models of self-reliance and self-acceptance; who can provide an example of how to live confidently without taking life too seriously.
Mothers juggling careers and multiple children need all the help they can get, and delayed motherhood means there are plenty of maiden aunts about, although in the post-Austen era they are more likely to be into kite-surfing or a Master of business administration than needlepoint.
Marketers have already picked up on this. As reported by Fairfax Media before Christmas, the new breed of aunt has even been given an acronym, PANK, which stands for Professional Aunt No Kids.
PANKs, say the American public relations people who dreamt them up, spend a lot of money on ''gifts and experiences'' for their nieces and nephews, and hence are worth marketing to.
A report by these American marketers says that one in five American women is a PANK, with a median age of 36. They spent an average of $385 on each child in the past year and more than 75 per cent spent $500 per child.
The figures seem pretty accurate to me, but I dislike the idea of marketers getting their grubby hands on my aunty-hood. This is the same breed of people who hit on the lucrative ''tween'' market and have been selling sexualised rubbish to girls ever since.
An aunt's responsibilities are relatively modest - I'm pretty sure all we are contractually obliged to do is return the children in one piece - and consequently it is a relationship that can be entirely based on fun.
The aunty army should be concerned with providing experiences, adventure and escape. Aunts have not always been well portrayed in history. We're spinsterish and frumpish, sometimes mad and often drunken. Maybe we're still all those things, but maybe we can also help.

Los Angeles - A former nanny who was employed by the Kardashian family is to write a tell-all book.
Pam Behan - who worked as a nanny, personal assistant and cook for Bruce and Kris Jenner for several years before the family shot to fame thanks to their reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians - is reportedly set to reveal all about the time she spent working in their home in a telling new tome.
According to TMZ.com, she describes Bruce's sons Brandon and Brody - who starred in The Hills and has dated the likes of Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari - as "spoiled and disrespectful", and admits she came close to losing her job after slapping Brandon one day.
Intimate details
Despite the Kardashian sisters Kim, Kourtney and Khloe allegedly being "very fond" of Pam, the former nanny is said to have vowed to reveal "intimate details" about the whole family - who are worth a combined total of $65m - in the upcoming book.
While the book has been pitched to several "major" literary agents, it is unclear whether a deal has yet been agreed.
This is the latest blow for Kim, who recently announced she was divorcing husband Kris Humphries after just 72 days of marriage.

A Le Sueur man faces felony assault charges for allegedly bludgeoning and stabbing a 17-year-old St. Peter boy. The victim told police that 18-year-old Noel Galvan Jr struck him repeatedly in the head with a metal baseball bat, and also stabbed him in the back twice with a butcher knife at the Marway Mobile Home Park in St. Peter. The youth was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. Witnesses say that the incident stemmed from an altercation at a party, and at the time identified different people as the attacker. An anonymous tip to police two weeks later identified Galvan as the perpetrator. His initial court date is pending.

Today's I Ching for Donald Trump
is embodied in
Hexagram 27 - I
(Providing Nourishment)
: With firm correctness there will be good fortune. We must look at what we are seeking to nourish, and by the exercise of our thoughts seek for the proper aliment.
The first (bottommost) line, undivided, seems to be thus addressed, "You leave your efficacious tortoise, and look at me till your lower jaw hangs down". There will be evil.
The second line, divided, shows one looking downwards for nourishment, which is contrary to what is proper, or seeking it from above, which will lead to evil.
The third line, divided, shows one acting contrary to the method of nourishing. However firm he may be, there will be evil. For ten years let him not take any action, for it will not be in any way advantageous.
The fifth line, divided, shows one acting contrary to what is regular and proper, but if he abide in firmness, there will be good fortune. He should not, however, try to cross the great stream.
The sixth line, undivided, shows him from whom comes the nourishing. His position is perilous, but there will be good fortune. It will be advantageous to cross the great stream.
The situation is changing rapidly, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground.
is embodied in
Hexagram 48 - Ching
(The Well)
: We think of how the site of a town may be changed, while the fashion of its wells undergoes no change. The water of a well never disappears but never receives any great increase, and those who come and those who go can draw and enjoy the benefit. If the drawing has nearly been accomplished, but before the rope has quite reached the water the bucket is broken, this is evil.

(March 13, 2012) -- The UTSA Center for Policy Studies will sponsor "7 in Seven," a weeklong spring break project, March 12-17, during which students in the UTSA Nonprofit Leadership Alliance (NLA) will turn their passion into action by volunteering.
During the third annual event, NLA students will work with community members to complete seven service projects with seven area nonprofit organizations. Last year students, supporters and alumni logged more than 400 service hours on projects.

Hi Oscar,(or Mr. Pistorius) I loved watching you in the Olympics and I was cheering you on. I have seizures and want to be a football player, so i have to watch my sleep, water, stress, and medication just to be able to play. Im sure its nothing like missing your legs, but you have truly inspired me to work harder. I love drawing and creating new super hero's and you are my Super Hero (besides my Dad), so I have created a Super Hero in your honor. I have a picture of you as a Super Hero and I went with the name "Blade Runner" (cause i think it is SUPER cool). I have based many things about your Super Hero origin I created, on what i have read about you, plus i created a list of your Super Powers, Occupation, and Super Hero Gadgets. Please send me your email address so that I can send you the picture of you as a Super Hero and your Hero Status. I sure hope you get this, and I look forward to watching more of your athletic accomplishments. Joey Fritz Montgomery, AL 12 years old (my dad is Tom Fritz and his email is the email I am allowed to use at email@example.com)

Key Executives for Toyota Motor Corporation Australia Limited
Toyota Motor Corporation Australia Limited Key Developments
Toyota Motor Corporation Australia Limited has announced that it will unveil an updated version of the Toyota 86. Featuring revised exterior and interior design, as well as suspension and powertrain upgrades, the MY17 86 is scheduled to go on sale in Australia in the fourth quarter of this year. Re-configured LED headlamps incorporate new indicators, sitting above redesigned fog lamp bezels and a revised bumper. At the rear, there are sports LED tail lamps and a new bumper. The alloy wheel design has been refreshed, and the 86 logo has shifted to a stand-alone badge on the front fender, as well as inside the front headlamps. On the inside, the high-grade GTS features a new, soft-feel 'Grandlux' material (reprising the 86 logo) on the instrument panel surround and door trims. GTS drivers will also enjoy new seating material with silver stitching, as well as a steering wheel with integrated audio controls. Under the skin, a revised suspension tune focuses on shock absorber and spring rates, while on manual variants additional performance comes from a gear ratio change as well as increases to torque (+9Nm) and peak power (+4kW), with Hill Start Assist Control (HAC)# helping prevent the car from rolling back on steep hills. Toyota executive director sales and marketing Tony Cramb said since launching here in mid-2012, the front-engine, rear-wheel drive 86 has captured the imagination of local car enthusiasts.
Toyota Motor Corporation Australia Limited has released an upgraded RAV4 Cruiser SUV. RAV4 adopts sleeker and more dynamic exterior styling, refreshed interiors, Euro 5 engines, trailer sway control and new features including an available package of integrated active safety and driver assistance technologies. The newly developed safety features use a forward-facing camera and millimetre-wave radar to trigger vehicle systems, including autonomous braking, to prevent or mitigate the force of a collision. Prices for automatic petrol models have been held or reduced despite the improvements while manual versions have edged up just $500. Prices for the turbo-diesel variants, which also gain a diesel particulate filter, have risen between $1,000 and $2,000. Exterior changes to the RAV4 include a bolder-looking front design with a larger lower grille and slimline LED projector headlights that incorporate high and low beams in a housing that also integrates LED daytime running lights. Restyled front and rear bumpers add 35mm to the RAV4's overall length while new wheel-arch mouldings and rocker panels sharpen the sides and contribute to a more flowing profile. LED taillights add a premium touch. New wheel designs for mid-range GXL and high-grade Cruiser and a standard shark fin antenna on all grades further accent the freshened look of the RAV4. The GXL moves up from a 17-inch alloy to a stylish 18-inch black alloy with bright machined spokes. Cruiser's new 18-inch alloys have five pairs of spokes while entry-level GX has a 17-inch steel wheel with low rolling resistance tyres. Capping the exterior restyle are three additions to the colour palette: Deep Red mica metallic (replacing Wildfire), Hazel and Blue Gem. RAV4's cabin is quieter for greater occupant comfort and ease of conversation due to expanded insulation coverage and thickness to reduce road, tyre and exhaust noise. A 12-volt accessory socket in the second row (in addition to two in the front) and a new holder for sunglasses have also been adopted. RAV4 is offered with three four-cylinder engines, starting with a 107kW 2.0-litre petrol for the two-wheel drive (2WD) variants. All-wheel drive (AWD) versions can be specified with a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine that develops 340Nm of torque, or a 2.5-litre petrol engine that develops 132kW. The 2WD RAV4 is fitted with a six-speed manual gearbox or Toyota's Multidrive S automatic transmission that also provides a sporty, sequential seven-speed mode. Petrol AWD variants are fitted with a six-speed multi-mode sequential-shift automatic while diesel AWD RAV4 offers the choice of the six-speed manual or automatic gearboxes. A feature of the range is Toyota's advanced all-wheel drive technology, Dynamic Torque Control AWD. It uses information from speed, steering-angle and yaw-rate sensors to control torque transfer between the front and rear wheels.
Toyota Australia announced that it has appointed Sean Hanley to the key position of Divisional Manager Sales reporting directly to Executive Director Tony Cramb. Mr. Hanley leaves his current role as Chief Executive of luxury importer Lexus Australia to rejoin the Toyota. Toyota Australia's current Divisional Manager Sales Scott Thompson has been appointed to Toyota Motor Sales in the USA for two years as part of a development program intended to further strengthen Toyota Australia's executive line up at the time of the transition. Adam Smith, who has completed a development program with Toyota Motor Asia Pacific, has been appointed Divisional Manager Franchise Development and Regional Operations with Toyota Australia. Evan Tsirogiannis, currently Divisional Manager Purchasing, will take charge of a new division responsible for southern and central regions. The changes are effective as of 1 January 2016.

Some misfires are sadder than others. John Woo is a master of action and character, whether working on his own Hong Kong turf with The Killer or in America with Face/Off. And here Woo has a great World War II story to tell about Navajo soldiers recruited by the Marines to use their native language as a code the Japanese can't break. The Marines assigned to protect these code talkers had secret orders to kill their charges if it looked like they might fall into enemy hands. From that harsh truth, screenwriters John Rice and Joe Batteer offer an often far-fetched fiction about two Marines — Joe Enders (Nicolas Cage) and Ox Anderson (Christian Slater) — ordered to baby-sit Navajos Ben Yahzee (Adam Beach) and Charlie Whitehorse (Roger Willie). In typical Hollywood style, the story shifts from what should be its center (the Navajos) to the white man (Cage's battle-scarred warrior), who gets to be heroic and complicated while the Navajos get to be saints. More damaging is Woo's misguided attempt to beat Steven Spielberg at his Saving Private Ryan game. However well staged, the limb-ripping carnage at the 1944 battle of Saipan feels generic compared to the racial and cultural battles that go begging. The code talkers deserved better than a hollow tribute.
- Windtalkers
- Nicolas Cage, Adam Beach, Christian Slater, Jason Isaacs, Emily Mortimer
- Directed by John Woo
