Open source is a software development model. It is also a community. If you bill yourself as a "movement", you're building a community around yourself, like the open source movement.

"Gamer" is a hobby, but it can also refer to a community that is much, much different from the broad spectrum of people who just play video games.

Most of us did not bill ourselves as a movement though. Some money grubbing people did back in the .com bubble days. I did not make the OSI. I am not part of any movement. I write software I want, and give the source away freely for others to use if they find it useful. That's it.
