Is more than a single work per person allowed? I’d like to submit maybe two or three videos.

This would, indeed, be awesome. The nice thing is that some demos are circa 10kb – it’s possible to include something impressive without much space at all.

Is it still possible to submit a graphic entry that's not suitable as a desktop image? I've been working on an SVG comic strip using Inkscape specifically for this competition, but it's no good as a desktop image - not unless you have a really weird aspect ratio to your monitor.

I'd love to see an SVG submission make it to the disc, because unlike most formats it really does epitomise the idea of Open Source and Creative Commons. As open as Ogg is, it still only represents a "final cut", not the constituent, remixable, original parts. With SVG not only do you get the final result, but also the "source code" for you to study and modify.

speaking of “culture” wheres the video or at least the audio of lugradio from lugradio live 2009, all the other videos were posted without any fanfare, while that part is still missing.

OK, still no word about graphic demos rendered in real time (demo scene). Maybe OpenGL in Ubuntu is still not mature enough, but will you try to include a 4k or 64k demo for 10.10? (Of course it has to run on Linux, be FOSS and contain CC art)

The comments on the wiki page encourage the inclusion and I think it would really help the Ubutnu gfx stack (OpenGL, OpenCL, SDL etc.)

Or will these posts always be copy&pasted from the 9.04 and nothing will ever change?

"The winning submissions will be made available on the shipped CDs and download images of the Ubuntu 9.04 release."

I think you mean 10.4, yes?

For a moment there I thought this was anti Ubuntu since I read “Ubuntu free”. Gotta love ambiguity with English grammar.
