I have to ask, wouldn't this be better suited for the Marketing list in
general? I personally do not see what it has to do with the ambassadors
project other than some ambassadors are involved.

Ambassadors have proven to be the more committed folks who "get things
done" while the Marketing list was mostly a place for fruitless
discussion--at least during the months i have been member of that
list. Hence my aversion to post there.

Generally, as long as we launch the program on time, i could not care
less on which list the discussion occured.

Provides us a ability to get initial feedback before a more public 
announcement. Marketing does depend on a element of surprise.

We spoke about this briefly at the last meeting.

I really think that we ought to model our requirements more along the
lines of mozillas video contest:
"For initial consideration, you will need to upload a compressed, half-
NTSC-resolution, full frame rate MPEG-4 video for entry into the
contest. A QuickTime-compatible format for the Web version is preferred.
Media uploaded should be less than 10 MB in size. When your entry is
accepted, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions for
mailing the full-size media to Mozilla."

Thats very specific, as to resolution, frame rate, format.
Now keep in  mind, the 10MB upload limit is for 30 seconds. (the
parameters for the mozilla contest. Having people keep the high res
version on their own system and sending a smaller one to keep our
storage needs down makes sense.

So we are in agreement for 10MB or less.
Are we agree on 5 mins or less?
QuickTime format (mov) is acceptable but since we are in Open Source business we should
say "OGG Theora video is preferred format"

The question begs to be asked:

What is the goal of the Fedora Video Contest?

The Firefox Flicks contest has a well  documented overview here:  
http://www.firefoxflicks.com/adcontest/brief.html

There they outline several key points which in my opinion will help  
make the determination as to how the Fedora Video Contest should go.

Project Description
Project Summary
Target Audience
Objective
Ad Perception/Tone/Guidelines
Key Messages

Thoughts?

Yes, we need "the goal of the Fedora Video Contest"

Anyone has a good suggestion?

Hmm, I don't know whether it's a good sugestion, but maybe we should put
there funny videos, e.g. from events. I think the video in the style of
your photo titled "Fedora meets Debian" would be good :) But I'm really
not sure if it's the good idea. Now it's the time for your opinions on
that submission and maybe some other suggestions :>

The vidoe contest should promote Fedora. Each video should be free to
promote either the entire system or a precise component/feature of
Fedora.

That's good enough for me. :)

I would say they should all talk about freedom and openness, but I
would like to abstain from directly making "Advertisement" videos, as
too many people out there are already doing that:

Firefox with their "flicks"
Mastercard with "priceless.com"

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.

Thanks,
a

Isn't this more suited to the marketing list?
