I am wondering if we could make an Linux ad together as a community and then upload it to YouTube.

There will be no script all you have to do is say what you use Linux for and why. Doesn't have to be long just a 0-10 second clip.

Then upload your clip to this site and we will try and make an advert.

I would make a 0-10 second clip now but it is dark,I have no light in my room lol and I am supposed to be in bed.

:lolflag:

I have a bad feeling I put this in the wrong place.
If your a mod please move it to a better place. Thanks

I created that since there is a lot of excitement about making a AD might as well focus it.

Yeah I thought that was what happened.

Forgive me for saying this but that is cheesy, It also lacks a certain creativity...all these "I am Linux" ads just feel cheesy...as far as far as ripping it off the new Microsoft Ad did it best and even that is not saying too much.

I think there are other ways to express what you mean other than going through the "I'm a Mac ad style".

Thanks for the offer but some of us aren't actors........And never will be.
And my idea is something we ALL can do. Again thanks for the offer.

I'm down...

We could do something like the Redhat Truth Happens commercial, where nobody really has to "act".

For those who haven't seen it before:

I dunno about this editing-everyone's-clips-together idea. If we all recorded a little piece to camera and uploaded 'em to youtube, we'd create a massive ubuntu presence there. All the windows and apple users on youtube would be subtly brainwashed... they'd find themselves talking about how great ubuntu is, even people who have never used linux! Yeah yeah, let's make youtube an ubuntu-be-praised zone!

But yeah, loads of "I'm an ubuntu" parrots would not be cool.

Please note I said LINUX as a whole not JUST Ubuntu


I dunno about this editing-everyone's-clips-together idea.

I will try and include as much clips as I can with about a 1-2min time

The more people the better Linux will be in the future.

They will still be PC's but with Linux parrots
