I agree. I just watched it and I loved it.

Wow - a bit harsh, even by my standards... Not to be a dik - but
did you really watch it, listen to it several times over?
Seriously - how much do you expect to cram into 30 seconds of air
time? At least there's a few notable faces. I wouldn't know 99.9% of the
Linux developers out there if they walked up and hit me in the face with a
brick. Well, maybe if they had on a nametag, and I had time to read it
before getting whacked...
I think the points they're communicating are awesome - this "kid"
can do anything - from plumbing to flying a jet. It's dead-on.
"A player who makes the team great is more valuable than a great
player; losing yourself in the group for the good of the group - that's
teamwork...."
"....sharing data is the first step toward community"
"...what he learns - we all learn - what he knows we all benefit
from"
"...speak your mind. Don't back down." (is that Ali??)
....if that doesn't surmise the ideals of OpenSource I don't know
what does.....
I, for one, love it. I think it will be the best Linux TV
commercial on the air. Looking forward to being able to see it in a size
over a postage stamp so I can do a bit of character recognition.
