Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.37,0:00:23.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I thought, 'yeah!\NThis is the way forward.'

Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.90,0:00:32.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for a huge chunk of\Nthe computing industry.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.20,0:00:34.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Most of the time,\Nwhen people write software,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.36,0:00:37.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we don't write everything from scratch.

Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.49,0:00:47.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's part of how\Nthe internet,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.17,0:00:48.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and most of the technology\Nyou use,

Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.17,0:01:30.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Nobody was just giving us\Nmoney for that.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.20,0:01:34.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We heard about MOSS and realized\Nthat we were potentially a good candidate
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.05,0:01:37.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to apply for a MOSS award.\NIt's interesting how MOSS is
