Videos/FedoraVideos Contest Intro/Outro

Introduction

Create an awesome intro/outro template for the Fedora Videos project! If you win, your template will be used to brand the videos put up by the Fedora Videos project!

To submit your video, upload it to a publicly accessible location and e-mail us at videos@fedoraproject.org. The video should ideally be between five and thirty seconds. Obviously, the content needs to be appropriate for public use.

The date for submissions is starting on Sept 5, 2012 and will be closed on Oct 15, 2012. Your e-mail should contain:

• The link to your video
• The license your video is under (read on for more information on licensing)
• Your FAS (Fedora Account System ID): This is mandatory. Please sign up. It hardly takes a minute.
• If you have a wiki user page, please send us the link too.

NOTE: In order to help us find your video quickly in our stuffed mail boxes, please use the subject "Fedora Videos Contest" for your e-mail. Also, there are no limits to the number of entries per person. So, if you have multiple ideas, send them all in!

Since 'freedom' is one of our foundations, we'd be happy if you could use open source tools in the making of your videos. However, it isn't compulsory.

Be as creative as you can!
