Software Song Contest

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •    •    •    •  

Jeff Robbins of Lullabot has recorded The Drupal Song. I am not sure whether he was inspired by another great piece of music called The Free Software Song composed and originally recorded by software freedom activist Richard Stallman.

Jeff was singer and lead guitarist of the band Orbit. Thanks to Dries Buytaert for this valuable information.

Honestly, I would not want to choose which of these two songs should be played on the radio when it wakes me up but judge yourself.

Your sample error output may look similar to the following:
