+The idea for this showcase site originally came from the movie [300](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/300_(film)).
+The plot revolves around King Leonidas (Gerard Butler), who leads 300 Spartans into
+battle against the Persian "God-King" Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro). Here our showcase is
+currently led by [Linus Torvalds](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds).
