Announcement

 * The official  announcement  for Open Video Contest is now available

Open Video Contest
Free media rules!

The new Fedora Core 5 is out at last, with a spiffy logo, pretty backgrounds, beautiful screensavers, and tons of new features! Celebrate the new release by participating in this short video contest!

Goals

 * They should all talk about freedom and openness, but I would like to abstain from directly making "Advertisement" videos.
 * I would like to open the floor to everyone who wants to express their ideas creatively--even if it be an abstract video.
 * We--Fedora--are not a commercial distribution, and doing commercials in this context might limit us unnecessarily.
