"We're Linux" Finalists Announced

Last month, we mentioned the Linux Foundation's contest asking people to illustrate the idea "We're Linux"; Now, ruphus13 writes "Over 90 entries were received, and the finalists are now out. From the article, 'The contest was spawned from the idea that other software companies were paying millions of dollars to celebrities for endorsements, while Linux was promoted and shared by enthusiastic, passionate, actual users. Contestants were given a simple directive: tell the Linux Foundation what Linux is for you, why you use it, and why you'd encourage others to do the same. Humor and professional production quality weren't required — it just had to be genuine.' Details on the finalists can be found on the Linux Foundation Video site here."

I wonder what the winner will look like?

5 foot tall, 120 lb, coke bottle glasses, acne ridden 30 year old maybe?

Because that would be hilarious.

Only one can Win, but everyone can Linux.
Sorry for the pun.

On youtube... using FLASH? Isn't this some sort of abomination against FOSS and the Linux Ideals?

A real "We're Linux" contest would have only released Ogg videos.

Yeah, but they wanted people to be able to watch the videos...

The only thing stopping me from going Linux are the viruses. We desperately need the virus industry to start porting the viruses. I honestly believe that is the only thing really standing in the way.
What are the odds that MS is somehow involved in that?

I just want to feel like I'm a part of the botnet crowd! I wanna fit in!

He should have said, "We had tens of entries."

Whao! "...filthey chutney ferret..." Damn. That made me almost breath my coffee! I'd tell you to keep up the good work, but who knows what you'd read into that?
