Mandriva Linux 2007 jingle contest

Hi everyone, I just got this in my mailbox:

Mandriva launches an international contest specifically designed for

musicians.

In prevision of the release of its new distribution, Mandriva Linux 2007, in October, Mandriva initiates a contest whose objective is to bring the Linux community together with the elaboration of the session startup and logoff music of all the distributions of the Mandriva Linux 2007 range.

The contestants will have to register on the homepage of the contest: (http://corp.mandriva.com/webteam/soundsubmit/) and submit their creations between June 21st and August 20th at midnight.

Every contestant will have to submit two sounds files: one for startup and one for loging off the computer. Each one of them will have to last 5 seconds maximum.

They will have to be encoded in 32 bits minimum (superior encoding accepted). The creations will be submitted under one of those two sound formats:

.wav

.aif

Last but not least, in case of victory and in order to respect the

Open Source values Mandriva promote, the contestants will have to agree for their original creation to be registered under one of those two licenses:

CC.BY. SA (Creative commons www.creativecommons.org)

LAL (Art Libre, www.artlibre.org)

The winner may choose one of the following two prizes:

• A life membership of the Mandriva Club, Silver level;
• A copy of Mandriva Linux PowerPack+ 2007, a GlobeTrotter 2.0, and an Archos Pocket Media Assistant PMA400.

Inscriptions and full terms of participation on the website: http://corp.mandriva.com/webteam/soundsubmit/
