IMDb - The Internet Movie Database
IMDb: How can one ever settle bar bets about movies, stars, costars, directors, dates, and films without detailed information in the Internet Movie Database? Using the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com) is free for non-commercial use. The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is a HUGE collection of movie information. We try to catalog every pertinent detail about a movie, from who was in it, to who made it, to trivia about it, to filming locations, and even where you can find reviews and fan sites on the web. We then do our best to present this information in a manner that is easy to search and access. The IMDb started as a hobby project by an international group of movie fans (see history), essentially something by movie fans for movie fans. And despite our incredible growth, we retain that sensibility. The weekly editorial staff meeting is lunch and a movie. All the weekly status reports detail three things: what we did for work, what we did for fun, and what movies we saw. And our staff is still spread around the U.S. and Europe.

Project - FreeHAL@Home for more information:
Our board is frequented by hundreds
of Team Members, many of whom do not post messages. We are cool with
that. Cool as it is, I personally invite you to join us in our
ongoing conversation about the Team and about Distributed Computing
Projects. The message board is upbeat and fun. The information
posted, on a wide range of issues, is interesting and edifying. You
can just say hello or you can post on a topic of your choice. If you
need an idea, just post - Top Sent Me. I look forward to seeing you
on the board. For The Team, By The Team, With The Team
Your Newsletter has been written and published with you in mind. The Newsletter Staff asked for and then acted on comments, suggestions and specific requests, from our fellow Team Members. Now the Team Members have opportunity to read and comment on the product of our labors, and to provide the NL Staff with important feedback. We hope this Newsletter has met or exceeded your expectations. Our continued success is contingent on your participation.
I want to personally thank the Team Newsletter Staff. You have all done and excellent job and I look forward to working with you on many Newsletters to come. This is not possible without your work and without the help you have generously given me during this transition.
Several Guest Articles have been published - In This Edition. Special thanks to: Mr. Hankey, Trigggl, Mr. Lumu, Dr. Bob & Solarwinds for submitting articles, graphics and data sets.
The Team asked for more, so it seems only fair that we turn the tables on you. Now we need your help. Keep the comments & suggestions coming and send in links and things that you happen across, so we can include them in the Newsletter. Please consider writing a Guest Article for the April 2010 Edition. We need stuff for every edition of the Team Newsletter. Articles do not need to be long or complicated, but long complicated articles are great.
Give it some thought and jot down
some words, you can finish your guest article, right after you
attach to FreeHAL :)

Staff or send an e-mail message to:
