Linux Foundation Launches I'm Linux Video Contest

The Linux Foundation this week leapt into the advertising wars with the launch of the 'I'm Linux' video contest.


"The Linux Foundation saw those successful I'm a Mac commercials, and Jerry Seinfeld playing with Bill Gates, and they wanted in," writes Gizmodo's Jack Loftus. "So they're having a video contest that will try and showcase 'just what Linux means to those who use it, and hopefully inspires many to try it.'"


"The winning video will be chosen based on the originality and clarity of the message and how much it inspires others to use Linux, according to the contest organizers," writes ChannelWeb's Kevin McLaughlin. "The 'I'm Linux' video contest winner will receive a free trip to Tokyo and a free registration for the Linux Foundation Japan Linux Symposium, to be held next October. The winning video will also be shown off at the Linux Foundation's Collaboration Summit in San Francisco on April 8."
