For those that might have possibly insinuated that the Tux500 project is a scam...someone might want to get this somewhere into their awareness.

You think it's just anyone that can walk in there and do this?

Devnet has been kind enough to post a link to it for the purposes of digging

Me2ism... Nice, very professional video!

Sponsorship of the Tux500 currently stands at about $11K toward the $350K goal. Hopefully, the video publicity and corporate sponsors potentially jumping in (e.g., Dell?) will help raise the actual projected total drastically upwards from the current $20K -- for the full 41-day duration of the Tux500 campaign! :)

Thanks guys. The key is getting this outside of the "Linux Bubble". You have no idea the hours I have worked in trying to get others to take notice of this. To be honest, it has been frustrating to say the least. if you can, or if you have access to people that can get this news out, I sure would appreciate a hand in getting it done. Yes, this video may prove to be a big help. My congratulations to Bob Moore in doing such an outstanding job with this.

AND, to the obvious talent that wrote the script. ;-)

Well I have posted it to my blog, which is about all I can do: http://www.jejik.com/articles/2007/05/we_are_linux_-_tux500_...

Aside from Linux folk it's also read my Pythonistas, Web developers and SEO marketers so let's hope it helps.
