Re: [school-discuss] Micro$oft Video Contest

If we make it a movie somehow related to Stephen Colbert, maybe the winner(s) could get on the Colbert Report for free.

* Movie about his greatest accomplishments, extra points for original music plus singing/dancing
* Artistic rendering of Stephen Colbert done entirely with open source graphics software

Here's a recent promotional move by good old M$:

Why can't the FLOSS community do something like
this? The dough to back it up could be chipped
in by the big commercial FLOSS players--Red Hat,
Oracle, IBM, HP, y'all know the list. There are
plenty of FLOSS programs that are powerful tools
in the fields of digital video &c.

Spread the word & talk it over. . . .
