- coffee shop
- non-speaking presenter showcasing Natty
- I imagine it like outside the coffee shop, some women comes out, sits down and then showcases natty
- voice-over: "I want to give you something, it is life, friends, love and heart, you get to do what you want to do and do it with ease, and the best part is: it is free, UBUNTU"

SCENE OPENS
OUT SIDE COFFEE SHOP, A FEW PEOPLE SITTING AT OUTSIDE TABLES AND ONE WALKING BY.
A WOMAN WALKS OUT OF COFFEE SHOP AND SITS DOWN AT A TABLE WHERE A LAPTOP IS SITTING.
THE WOMAN OPENS THE LAP TOP, THERE IS A UBUNTU LOGO ON THE LAP TOP.
(camera moving towards woman)
“ I want to give you something “
(camera gets to the back of the lap top and moves around to show the screen)
CUT TO SCREEN SHOT
“it is life” (working on word processor and spreed sheet)
CUT TO NEXT
“friends”(scrolling through face book and gibber)
CUT TO NEXT
“love and heart” (scrolling through mini tunes and rhythmbox)
“you get to do what you want to do with it, and do it with ease” (searching and scrolling through software center)
CUT TO OUT SIDE COFFEE SHOP CLOSE TO WOMANS LAP TOP
(camera moving away from woman)
“and the best part is: it is free” (camera is at original position at the end of the phrase)
FADE TO PURPLE(or what ever color) WITH UBUNTU LOGO AND WORD UBUNTU
“UBUNTU”
Script by Emily
The important points of the concept are:
- Use of real people, with one making the decision to use Ubuntu and being questioned about it by their friends. This example sets up a student and teacher model, but the teacher is down to Earth in that they are not an “expert” and are an equal amongst three friends. This makes Millina out to be an ordinary person in that she is not an “expert,” and also the down-to-Earth explanation and recent switch avoids her being tagged as a nerd but rather someone who made a decision based on cost and other “normal” factors.
- A focus on applications. Applications are what allow people to do what they do, and most computer users understand this at some level since they factor in shovelling out a good deal of money for Microsoft Office into the cost of a new computer. Since most Ubuntu applications are different from what most people use, we need to be upfront with saying which applications we have that do what people do the most, and being sure that they are just as good along with saying they are.
- A mention of the Operating System itself as well, covering the points which people will be most curious about. In this case I glance over price and security amongst the talk of applications.
- Advertising it as something to switch to when getting a new laptop. This requires getting Ubuntu laptops in stores, of course, but it is more likely when we are going to net a new user. The average user has never installed any OS before, and is probably going to be overwhelmed if they have to install Ubuntu. Giving them a choice right when they’re buying makes the decision more likely to go in favour of the cheaper option, especially in today’s economy.
I have a new idea coming up as well and will do concept art for it once I have refined it. Cheers.

Script Idea by Dante
SCRIPT (ideas welcome)
*darkness, a chair, lit by spotlight, camera slowly zooms into chair*
VO: "When I was young...I was taught, to share."
*camera keeps moving closer to chair*
"As I grew older, I found joy in sharing. The pleasure my possessions brought others..."
*picture warps, flashes, a person suddenly appears in the chair, their face mostly unlit*
"And now, I wish to share with you..."
*face is lit, person spreads their arms, lights come on and there are thousands of people lined up behind the chair*
"WE, wish to share with you; our masterwork...."
*everyone says* "We. Are. Ubuntu. Join us."
It needs a little refinement, but I hope you can see where I'm going with it.

SCENE OPENS
OUT SIDE COFFEE SHOP, A FEW PEOPLE SITTING AT OUTSIDE TABLES AND ONE WALKING BY. TWO WOMEN ARE AT A TABLE, CHATTING. WOMAN1 OPENS THE LAPTOP.
Woman2: Hey, your laptop boots really fast!
Woman1: I use Ubuntu, it's an operating system based on Linux.
Woman2: Isn't it hard to learn? I heard it has only text!
WOMAN1 SHOWCASES UNITY
Woman1: Not at all. Look, this is called the Unity interface. I can open up software and find my files easily.
Woman2: Yes, but I heard you can't install applications easily, it's too technical!
WOMAN1 STARTS SHOWCASING THE SOFTWARE CENTER
Woman1: Not anymore. See? This is the Software Center. Here you can find and install many apps, most of which are free! Right now, there are (insert incredibly eye-popping high number here) of apps available. Plus, you don't have to chase updates. The update manager informs you of updates.
AS IF BY MAGIC, THE UPDATE MANAGER OPENS UP SHOWING SOFTWARE UPDATES.
Woman2: But I don't really like the way it looks. It's too dark.
WOMAN1 OPENS THE SYSTEM TAB FROM UNITY.
Woman1: Don't worry, you can change anything on Ubuntu. Look, this is the System tabs. I can change all the options from here.
WOMAN1 OPENS THE APPEARANCE PREFERENCES
Woman1: I can customize how it looks. I can change the theme, the icons, the cursor... And I can find new ones easily from the internet. Woman2: Wow! I want to give it a shot!
WOMAN1 GRABS A CD WHICH WAS CONVENIENTLY IN HER BAG.
Woman1: Here. It's a Live CD.
Woman2: What does that mean?
Woman1: It means you can try it without installing it. If you like it, you can install it for free!
Woman2: Wow! That's really nice!
Woman1: and the best part is: it is free.
THE SCENCE STARTS FADING OFF, THE WOMAN ARE SMILING AND LAUGHING.
UBUNTU LOGO AND THE FOLLOWING WORDS APPEAR: "Ubuntu. For Human Beings".
Of course, the dialog can be improved. What do you think? Maybe it will be too long, so instead of one big dialogue, we could cut it down in several ads and in each one show an aspect of Ubuntu.
