Quoting Chris Rowson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: A good initiative to kick start Ubuntu campaigns through viral videos.

I suggested a competition a while ago in the > 'Ubuntu Viral Video' thread. Agreed, a competition may be exciting but that would mean more work from a logistics perspective. Even I have been thinking on the same lines of having a open contest for a creative video clip to create awareness about a software I am associated with. Had tried earlier with a blog contest in India but did not evince enough interest :-( For a company like Canonical it would be in their best business interest to hire a couple of professional media companies that have created some great and successful viral videos and pitch them against each other and measure the effectiveness of the campaigns. Remember, its Ubuntu Server and not Ubuntu Desktop. > > Check out these Linux video ads: > > Can't we create something with a little more impact? > At first sight, even I found it not so effective. Keeping the video short has some benefits like people with less time can catch the end message. But any video that is highly creative catches attention up to a minute or two without the viewer moving on to next link. > Please don't treat this as me slating what you've done.

The current work was fine for a start to get some inputs from the community only to return with a greater impact.
