A few days ago, The Linux Foundation announced their second video contest. Last year, they called it the "We're Linux" video contest and it focused on showing what people find nice and attractive at Linux, but this year, they spiced it up a bit. The contest is about making a Super Bowl (which is some american event I don't get) ad. They want to see how a Linux ad running during this event would look like.
Here is the link to the contest if anyone is interested.

Last year, they had some pretty impressive videos, although just a few, as most of them were quite bad. Although the winner is really great and I just have to insert it here:
Meanwhile, while Europe embraces open source alternatives, Romania is loosing all senses in economics and intends to pay microsloth 90 milion euros until 2012 for 163,427 windows licences for more than 30 public institutions. I know this is not really related to the video contest, but I must complain somewhere, and I don't want to make another post. I really do not understand this move, because it's the one place where we can easily save some money as a country buried under debts to the EU.
