[ubuntu-uk] The "I'm Linux" Video Contest

Personally I think the competition concept is limiting in the idea
that you just have one 60-second video.

If I was commissioning such a thing I'd suggest that folks create a
series of videos, bit like the "I bet he drinks Carling Black Label"
campaign from the 80s.  All pushing home the same message, that Linux
should be a natural choice for productivity, creativity and so on...
perhaps one centered around a band who is struggling to record music
on a dodgy 4-track tape deck, another about a fella who's writing a
book etc. etc.

But, unlike David, I do quite fancy going to Japan so I will have to
get my thinking hat on.

Have, incidentally, e-mailed Amanda (as referenced on the page) to
tell her that she has a 2008 in her competition details that shouldn't
be there.

I'm almost certainly a better proofreader than a video producer, but
will give it a go!
