OK, I caught my breath after reading this. This is amazing and we (Ubuntu) 
would be so greatfull for such an opportunity.

I am available to help out as much as needed. I have no problem using his own 
actors, but would be interested to know if possible some of the "real" Ubuntu 
users (some of the Chicago members) had a cameo appearance?

I can promise him that I will get his name out to about 8 million people with 
1 single post. Those are the 8 million users who read my blog, the Fridge, 
and other sites as well. Plus this will also target those who aren't using 
Ubuntu YET. This will get a Digg I am sure, and I can guarantee a news spot 
on Google as well. If you have more information about your friend and if he 
is interested, I would love to promote him and his work. I would like to see 
some of his previous work, which I am sure is good.

Patrick, we (Ubuntu community) really appreciate your recent activity, 
interest, and knowledge. I am an Executive Marketing and Business Management 
major myself and enjoy this part of "work" more than any other. It seems you 
have the field experience that I am interested in and if ever the chance came 
about, I would love to pick your brain apart. Of course I will format the 
Windows partition up there if there is one :)

Thanks again Patrick and if there is anything you need, please do not hesitate 
to email me or the group.
