  Paschke created images of Chicago, among other things. Hence the name.

  

This is a pretty cool find! I feel inclined to share my project from a while ago, where the idea was (inspired by Dockerfiles) to automate the building of a working Windows 98 installation in QEMU.

It's fairly janky and slow, but it does what it promises and starting from usual installation media will produce a HDD image with Windows 98 installed and somewhat customised (containing some files I wanted and a custom desktop wallpaper and such).

I don't think this argument holds much substance. FOSS developers are absolutely not lost without the source - they just share the fruit of their labor under FOSS licenses. In fact there's a good chunk of work being done black-box style: WINE, many of the drivers, game modding, hell here's a random FOSS binary patcher[0]. So FOSS developers don't seem to be lost without the source.
