Open Source Avatar could be the 2500 level, or maybe move Open Sourcerer down to 2500 with Avatar as the top spot. Depending on if you think "an embodiment (as of a concept or philosophy) often in a person" trumps sorcery.

500 could be Open Advocate, perhaps?

For anyone interested in giving homemade gifts, the <a href="http://www.free-penguin.org/">Free Penguin Project</a> has patterns for sewing your own stuffed Tux doll. If cross-stitch is more your thing, you can find a Tux pattern <a href="http://www.emperorlinux.com/company/staff/adurey/tux_stitch.pdf">here</a> (PDF).

I also highly recommend <a href="http://eclipsephase.com/">Eclipse Phase</a> for any sci-fi Pen & Paper RPG fans . All the books are released under a Creative Commons license, so you can download the books for free before you buy print copies (or pay for PDF versions to support the game designers). You can get the free PDFs from Rob Boyle's (one of the game designers) <a href="http://robboyle.wordpress.com/eclipse-phase-pdfs/">blog</a> or from <a href="http://unpossiblelabs.com/index.html">Unpossible Labs</a> (a fan site).

My own wish list for the holiday is mostly stuff from the <a href="http://www.redhat.corpmerchandise.com/">Red Hat Cool Stuff store</a>.
