Outline

The idea is to raise the brand awareness of Ubuntu by using the power of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_marketing viral marketing]. Given the success of the [http://www.firefoxflicks.com Firefox Flicks] campaign it may be wise to learn from Mozilla and use Firefox Flicks as a template for our project.
