Linux Foundation Announces 2010 "We're Linux" Video Contest

prourl writes "The Linux Foundation (LF), the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, today announced the 2010 'We're Linux' video contest. The contest seeks to find the best user-generated videos that demonstrate what Linux means to those who use it and inspire others to try it." Sadly, the winner will almost certainly be edited in Final Cut Pro on a Mac ;)

      Just create a makefile listing all the video segments you want to glue together, that's very easy to do on Linux under 500 lines of code.

    It would also need people in the background belittling your computer skills. This thread provides sufficient input.

    the army of porn sites happily hosted on Linux servers open their collective floodgates spewing video offerings.

          I think the adjective you were looking for is "ejaculating".

    Being "in IT" anymore could be someone that runs Ethernet cable to someone that processes orders for NewEgg.

    I was just reminded of how many different things the term "medical professional" can mean.

    I've been using Linux since '94. And it's dorky "community" stunts like this that make me want to disassociate and pretend I still used Windows.

    This project can not be considered complete unless it contains footage of Richard Stallman wearing a hard-drive platter as a halo, holding a conucopia and his GPL sheild. Bonus points if he is heard correcting someone on terminology during the video.

    The windows installer has given me 100 times more headache due to the activation process alone, ignoring the less powerful disk formatting and partitioning tools, having to load drivers from other media, et cetera.

    Put breadcrumbs on the Enter key and any chicken can install most versions of Windows, OSX, and Linux. Also most humans. Some however think smacking the keyboard makes things work better - they also repeatedly hit lift and traffic light buttons (they're called morons).

    No offense meant to morons - we all know we can't offend anyone. And "good Samaritan" is an insult (do-gooder). Hey everyone stay back for two years in schools so the lazy ones don't feel left behind - oh wait - that's not fair for pinheads - better pass them anyway.

    Duh - no wonder the mentally challenged tend to champion the "evolution is a lie" campaign.
