Last year, the inaugural We’re Linux video contest kicked off a storm of creativity and captured the spirit of Linux and the diversity of its community. The winning video “What Does it Mean to Be Free” was an inspirational piece that communicated the ideals of the open source operating system. To watch videos submitted for last year's contest, including the winning submission, please click here. This year we want to up the game and uncover more talent. What if the Linux community had its own ad running during the Super Bowl? How would you convey the power of Linux in a 30 – 60 video spot that would air during the big game? Just like last year we want you to be in charge. While the Linux Foundation could write a detailed creative brief and tell you exactly what to do, it’s not our style (or hopefully yours.) Linux isn't a top-down, commercially controlled operating system. It's a grassroots product of mass collaboration. But here are a few questions to think about:• Would your video get people talking the day after the Super Bowl?• Can your video inspire people to try Linux?• Animation can work wonders. It’s easier to get a point across with animation instead of live actors. There are some great sites out there that help you create animated videos.• How do you convey the power and ideals of the operating system in your video? The winner will receive airfare and hotel at LinuxCon in Boston, the annual conference for all matters Linux. They will also receive a laptop loaded with Linux. The winning video will be unveiled at the Linux Foundation'sCollaboration Summit in San Francisco in April.
