Firefox Crop Circle: the browser for Aliens?

The OSU Linux Users Group embarked on a project to create a firefox crop circle, and they were pretty successful at it. It looks great from the sky. =)

and even greater in google maps



The project's main site: http://lug.oregonstate.edu/events/firefox/crop-circle

from the site:

"Planned in under two weeks and completed in under 24 hours, the crop circle had a final diameter of 220 feet. We constructed the circle in an oat field near Amity, Oregon, where it was completely invisible from the road but unmistakable from the sky. Our team consisted of 12 people, mainly OSU students, and we carefully stomped down oats from 3:30pm Friday afternoon until 2:30am, putting on the finishing touches between 7:30am and 11:00am Saturday"

Without these folks this could not have happened:

• Terry & Monty Woods (Crop owners)
• John Imlah (Farmer/adjoining land)
• Gretchen Brunner (adjoining Land owners )
• Ron & Mary Lou Polvi (chief cooks)
• Alex Polvi (Google/OSLUG)
• Beth Gordon (OSLUG)
• Jason Siefken (OSLUG)
• John Carey (Mozilla-film maker)
• Eric Searcy (OSLUG)
• Emily Nashif (OSLUG)
• Ken Yoneda (Mozilla translator)
• Stuart McKim (OSLUG)
• Michael Marineau (OSLUG)
• Matt Shichtman (Mozilla-film maker)
• Scott Nichols (OSLUG)
• David "Crash" Mandrell (pilot)
• Asa Dotzler (Mozilla)
• Chris Dibona (Google)
