The Order of the Knights of the Command Line is an organisation that aims to protect the traditions and culture of computing. They hold as central beliefs that: a command line interface is the difference between a computer and a toy, command line arguments are cool, and batch files and shell scripts are media for artistic self-expression. Brussels House, being the First House, was founded on the seventeenth of March of the year 1997. Prospective founders of a House (or Chapter) need to have their Quest approved by the Grand Cursors, the Dukes of the First House. A Quest can be porting a piece of software to DOS or Linux, or anything to further the success of command line interfaces and thwart the Evil Realm of the Mouse. At the time of writing there are several Houses in Belgium and Germany; more Chapters are expected to be founded in the near future.
