Hi, you're listening to Hacker Public Radio.
|
||
|
|
This is 330, but this is not copy-fight.
|
||
|
|
What I want to do today is I want to talk to you guys about a really cool idea I had.
|
||
|
|
I was watching the stupid Microsoft I'm a PC ad where they start off making fun of
|
||
|
|
the Mac ad and then they talk about how there are a billion or so PCs out there in the
|
||
|
|
world.
|
||
|
|
I start thinking people are doing some really really really cool stuff with Linux and
|
||
|
|
I think that we could really kind of whip together more than just a commercial but like an
|
||
|
|
entire grass roots movement.
|
||
|
|
What I think we should do is everyone get to you know record a short clip of you saying
|
||
|
|
I'm a Linux user and I something you know like me to be like I'm a Linux user and I
|
||
|
|
podcast or I'm a Linux user and I'm a student or I'm a Linux user and I have a beard or
|
||
|
|
I'm a Linux user I have glasses something like that and make as many of them as you
|
||
|
|
can possibly think of and post them online you know YouTube, Vimeo, Viddler, Rever, all
|
||
|
|
those things and if you put them under a license that can be shared you know either public domain
|
||
|
|
or a creative commons license or something so everyone specifically knows that they can
|
||
|
|
use it.
|
||
|
|
What we could end up doing then is taking all of these videos and cutting our own commercials.
|
||
|
|
So video podcasters could have you know a quick you know let's pause for a quick commercial
|
||
|
|
from the Linux community and what this could really do is if we can get like the people
|
||
|
|
that are doing the really really really awesome stuff like they're running KDE at the Large
|
||
|
|
Hadron Collider you know how about you know some guy in a lab coat that turns around
|
||
|
|
and goes I'm a Linux user and I run the Large Hadron Collider or I'm a Linux user and
|
||
|
|
I create small black holes or I'm a Linux user and I crash subatomic particles together
|
||
|
|
you know or someone like Chris DeBona you're standing in the middle of the vast Google server
|
||
|
|
farm you know it's trying to scream over the worrying you know I'm a Linux user and I
|
||
|
|
work at Google it's something like that just you know we're all doing really cool stuff
|
||
|
|
with Linux we should let everyone know and seriously post these things up and if you
|
||
|
|
do post a link in the comments to this or email me 3 at 330.us I'll put that email in
|
||
|
|
the show notes get a hold of people let everyone know that you're doing this blog about
|
||
|
|
it Twitter, Identica all of it let everyone know what you're doing and maybe we can you
|
||
|
|
know really get a grassroots grassroots movement going that's really all I have to say
|
||
|
|
