A slightly mad poster put together on behalf of Osmosoft for tomorrow’s internal Open Source Awareness Day which Phil has printed out in scary A0. Like all my images, I’ve put this under a CC, so feel free to reproduce it, mash it up, do a better job, whatever! [Reddit] [Digg]
Update: There’s now a high quality scan on Archive.org

Un bel disegno di Paul Downey con annotazioni divertenti su Flickr, come “Mordorsoft pumpng out ……
The Web is Agreement…
Wonderful work by Paul Downey. Tower of WS-Babel, exactly…….
Looks absolutely brilliant!
Someone should submit that to Slashdot, Digg etc. - and offer such posters for sale…
Also, how long did this take you to plan and draw?
Fantastic! Thanks for the CC licence!
Excellent!

Looks more like Google’s all-seeing eye to me lol.
[...] Interessante davvero questa “mappa” realizzata da Paul Downey in cui, ricorrendo a svariate conoscenze, un’immagine latente della Terra di Mezzo e probabilmente reminiscenze dantesche della Commedia, si ottiene questo mix affascinante che tenta di visualizzare e spiegare le variegate e molteplici interrelazioni di linguaggi, tecnologie, visioni del mondo dell’informatica che ruotano e sono parte del mondo parallelo (il WEB) in cui molti di noi passano gran parte del loro tempo. L’immagine merita che le venga dedicato del tempo e molta attenzione perché si rivela… rivelatrice per svariati aspetti. Qui il link alla versione “commentata” della mappa. Qui il link della versione “poster” della mappa. Che dire di più?

Haha..I love this one. Thanks for the PDF.
I would love to program my next text adventure game based on this. Unfortunately I don’t know what half of it means.
[...] The graphic at the top of this post — a fragment of an illustration called The Web is Agreement by Flickr hacker Paul Downey who drew it for Open Source Awareness Day — makes these points with geeky humor. There’s an annotated version on Paul Downey’s Flickr page and a cleaned up high-resolution version available from the Internet Archive that prints very nicely on A3 paper if you’d like a copy for framing (or a great gift for unplugged friends and relatives).
