Linux ad campaigns?

[JimmyJazz]

Has any group considered raising fund to advertise Linux in any way (on the net, in print, ect...)? If not I propose such an idea. Any thoughts?

Crosses my mind all the time.

I think, if something like this was to be aired internationaly, Linux would grow big realy fast:

I remeber when those commercials ran in US

Yeah I seen those commercials here as well. I thought it was funny that the kid who was supposedly representing Linux was very Finish looking

I believe Linspire is thinking about making an ad

Linspire


Pretty tacky if you ask me

I hate to say it but Linux has never had a great "image" or at least not a very hip one especially when compared to Apple. I plan to help change this though.
My first jab at this was... the Gimp Flower Look

also I can't help but admidt one of the main things that drew me too Ubuntu was its nice a proffesional marketing look and well designed logo.

Until Linux gets better hardware support we should work on making it better and not more popular.

somebody knows how to design graphics!

I kind of like that linspire commerical..

never seen that IBM one before though.

I think linux should have commercials, but who would pay for it? linus?

Im with you. "if we build it they will come" we need to get hardware working...... but If linux was more popular hardware companies would be more willing to help us do that
