The second half was a good idea, but the first half is exactly where these videos should not go: Linux is for nerds.

What actually bothered me about this first part is the fact that everyone but Linux (kernel) developers gets ignored.

I have a better one coming tomorrow. To the LF's credit, these videos make a fountain of 'marketing' material.

Roy,

What's the difference between what the LF is doing and what Novell has done with videos? If it's good for LF then it would be good for Novell.

Novell did well with the videos. I don't argue otherwise.
