Linux Foundation is having the 2010 "We're Linux" video contest to find the best user-generated videos that demonstrate what Linux means to those who use it and inspire others to try it.
The contest is calling all community members and amateur filmmakers to share with the public what a 30-60 second Linux-focused spot for the Super Bowl might look like. This theme is not a requirement for entry; however, videos that can demonstrate the benefits of Linux to the general public are likely to receive more community votes. The submissions should aim to inspire people to use Linux, create conversations among the public, and convey the power and ideals of Linux.
The contest officially begins today and will be open for submissions through midnight on April 4, 2010. The winner will be revealed at the Linux Foundation's Collaboration Summit on April 14, 2010 in San Francisco and will be awarded with a laptop loaded with Linux and a trip to LinuxCon ( events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon (events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon) ) in Boston, Mass.The winner will be determined by a combination of online community ranking and a panel of judges .
