Yes, the day is called "Aprils Fools". It's also a tradition in North America, France, and a few other places. There is a similar one in Venezuela, but it's on a differentday. April Fools is the most popular holiday in the Open Source world. A couple of years ago Linus Torvalds said he was going to quit the Linux kernel. He said "I was happy until you guys took my hobby and turned it into a world movement". :-) All in good fun. ;-) Cheers, -- Daniel Carrera | I don't want it perfect, Join OOoAuthors today! | I want it Tuesday. http://oooauthors.org |
