Telling the Linux Story
If you were one of the 106.5 million people who watched the Super Bowl this year, you very likely caught the now (more) famous Google ad, "Parisian Love." I got to thinking about the search field as a storytelling metaphor the other day when I had yet another occasion to explain to a technological newcomer just exactly what Linux and open source was.
I gave the usual pat answer: free alternative to Windows, secure, stable--yes, I said free. Developed by skilled programmers all over the world who share the code with each other.
In short, nothing I hadn't said before dozens of times over.
So, this morning, I tried something new: with a little video capture with RecordMyDesktop and a little editing from kdenlive, I was able to put together a (very) rough concept of what one user's search for Linux just might look like.
