Sick of Apple and Microsoft flaunting themselves about constantly with their "I'm a Mac/I'm a PC" advertisements? Had a vision for the first Linux commercial you've been wanting to put into place? The Linux Foundation is calling you. Not literally, of course. Beginning January 26th, 2009, the Foundation will be accepting 60-second video offerings from budding directors worldwide to begin their own "I'm Linux" advertising campaign. The winner takes all with "a flight to Narita in Japan from the airport closest to your home plus three nights at a hotel in order for the winner to attend the Linux Foundation Japan's symposium in October next year." Start those rusty creative gears turning-- it's certain that plenty will enter, and only one will win.

And...?
Linux has always been a copy of something out there. What original ‘anything’ have they ever brought to the table?
They cannot even promote themselves in an original manner.
Besides it’ll turn into yet another xyz destroy is better then zzy yet both are based on abc. Zzz.

It is interesting, the way you try to direct the dialog. Without agreeing with your implication that Linux (and FOSS, in general) does not sometimes implement original ideas, as does sometimes, Microsoft, Apple, and other players... I ask you in what way is implementing good ideas which originated elsewhere a bad thing? I fear that you are just copying Microsoft's "Innovation Mania" concept. Could you not have come up with a more original attack upon Linux and FOSS?

MS was originally a Unix company. They had Xenix before they even licensed QDOS.
