"We're Linux" Finalists Announced 133
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."
Over 90? (Score:4, Interesting)
How many is "over 90?" 91? 839,723,435? What?
I can understand why people put "over 34,000,000" because the exact number might not be known or would take too long to say, but "over 90?" Really?

About "the future is open" video - thumbs down (Score:2, Interesting)
"The future is open" video positions Linux in relation to Windows. I think it's time to move beyond this.
There was time when some people saw Linux as a reaction to how bad and how evil Windows was.
That was a long time ago. In the mean time Microsoft has become much less powerful, and Apple has shown us that there can be something even worse then MS (in terms of Linux values, that is).
Linux is about freedom and community and [fill in the blank]. It is not just the anti-windows.
I vote against "the future is open".
