Everybody loves a good "I'm a Mac" ad spoof, right? I mean sure, the meme is well over a year old on YouTube, and even Microsoft has fired back with an "I'm a PC" campaign. Now the Linux Foundation wants in on the action.

The group is asking people to submit video ads that run 60 seconds or less, with the theme "I'm Linux." Ads don't have to directly take on Apple and Microsoft's iconic ad campaigns. But somehow I get the feeling that many of them will.

The winner will get a free trip for one to Narita, Japan for the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit in March. There's no guarantee anyone who's not already a Linux enthusiast will ever see your ads.

Over the years, we've seen a lot of memorable ads for Linux, some created on a shoestring budget by amateurs, others published by big name companies like IBM and Novell. You can check out a few of our favorites after the break.
