This seems to be a fairly good write up; not so technical that you'd have to be a protocol droid to understand it. Apparently stuff like this almost happens on a not too irregular basis. http://www.thecuttingedgenews.com/index.php?article=11111&pageid=28&pagename=Sci-Tech

Jon told a funny little story about how Linus got his Lifetime Achievement award from Uniforum. I managed to capture the moment on video for all to enjoy :-)"
