Greg Grossmeier at Creative Commons is reporting that the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase is now starting. Participants select a CC-licensed song, video or photograph. The winners’ works are included in the next release of the Ubuntu operating system. From the Ubuntu wiki:
The Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase is an opportunity to show off high quality free culture content in Ubuntu. At the heart of Ubuntu’s ethos is a belief in showcasing free software and free culture, and with each development cycle we open the opportunity for any Free Culture artist to put their work in front of millions of Ubuntu users around the world. Although the space restrictions are tight, and we are limited to how much content we can include, this is an excellent opportunity for artists everywhere.
