We're formally launching this contest in late January, but you can get started on your entries today. Please upload them <a href="http://video.linuxfoundation.org/node/add/video">here.</a> Email amanda (at) linuxfoundation if you have questions. I guess that is when there will be a more formal plan, but you can get started with your ideas now if you feel like contributing. I'm looking forward to it personally even if I ain't a media guru! <div class="gmail_quote"> On Sun, Dec 21, 2008 at 6:50 PM, Tim Powys-Lybbe <<a href="mailto:tim@southfarm.plus.com">tim@southfarm.plus.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> In message of 21 Dec, "Christopher Swift" <<a href="mailto:chris.r.swift@googlemail.com">chris.r.swift@googlemail.com</a>> wrote: <snip> <div class="Ih2E3d"> > In short, the Linux foundation have started a contest for a video > advert/commercial.

So what is going to be done with this video?  It can't be put on the TV channels as that costs big bucks.  Or have some channels indicated thay will give free air-time? Or will it just end up on U-tube? And who will own the winning item? -- Tim Powys-Lybbe                                          <a href="mailto:tim@powys.org">tim@powys.org</a>              For a miscellany of bygones: <a href="http://powys.org/" target="_blank">http://powys.org/</a> -- <a href="mailto:ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk</a> <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/</a> </blockquote></div>
