I get what you're saying and I see potential.   My only concern is
People are frozen while the boy is running openSUSE?   Doesn't that send
the wrong message?  :-)

Maybe something else (if we can do some trick editing) like....

People are walking around in the park, it is black and white scene...
People look dull and dreary.  Young boy enters park and opens his
laptop.  Zoom in his finger pushing the power button. openSUSE Logo
appears on the screen.  All of a sudden loud powerful music.  Boy turns
his laptop around and aims the monitor all around him and people are
suddenly in color and cheerful looking.  The boy looks around and makes
sure color is everywhere and is satisfied he has done his work well and
closes his laptop. And leaves to his next destination.  People dance and
celebrate and shout and do funny things.

Video ends with list of some primary features.

New video following on this "openSUSE Boy Hero" concept.  Boy is in a
new location (something other than park) and does the same thing
colorizing his world around him.  Similar concept to other video and
close the video with even more feature lists.

How about also, we change boy to girl, to show we are a community of
both men and women?

Just my thoughts.
