The "I'm Linux" Video Contest
,----[ Quote ]
| That said, there’s a world of difference between billion-dollar proprietary
| software companies and a grassroots community of mass collaboration. For one
| thing, the available budget is enormously different, but making up for this,
| Linux arguably has a far more passionate and enthusiastic fan base. (Well,
| moreso than Microsoft anyway; I think we all know Apple fans are in a league
| of their own!)
|
| Consequently, and considering these two points, the Linux Foundation have
| opted not to embark on their own production but rather sponsor a community
| contest, exploiting the minds and talents of Linuxphiles globally.

| go after real prize money, or just a fun way to participate in the big,
| online discussion that is Linux, there’s room for all.
