Ad Contest: Linux Strikes Back !:]

[ahhaa]

from the linux foundation:

The "I'm Linux" Video Contest

If you've been alive and aware of mass media over the last twelve months, you've probably seen television commercials from Apple and Microsoft touting their operating system. From Apple's ubiquitous "I'm a Mac" to Jerry Seinfeld to Microsoft's "I'm a PC" retort, operating system commercials have been flooding the airways. Except one OS has been notably absent – Linux.

While the Linux Foundation would love to spend millions promoting Linux on TV, it's simply not our style (or in our budget). Even more importantly, Linux isn't a top-down, commercially controlled operating system. It's a grassroots product of mass collaboration. That's why we're sponsoring a community contest to create a Linux video that showcases just what Linux means to those who use it, and hopefully inspires many to try it.

I think the opportunity for hilarious adverts just went skyhigh; given that the (over 100) linux distros get along like herded cats, and insult each other only slightly less than they do PC people. Don't get me wrong, I use & like linux, but the fanboy image has really held it back. imho!
