Re: [ubuntu-uk] The "I'm Linux" Video Contest

Very exciting, and I think this is a fun and great competition. I don't think it's limiting in the idea that you have only 1 60 second video, only because if someone had the chance to make a series of videos, it would be unfair. Then again, it's all about content, not length. I'd personally lov

Re: [ubuntu-uk] The "I'm Linux" Video Contest

Personally I think the competition concept is limiting in the idea that you just have one 60-second video. If I was commissioning such a thing I'd suggest that folks create a series of videos, bit like the "I bet he drinks Carling Black Label" campaign from the 80s. All pushing home the same mess

"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 b
