Hi Ron, :-) I took the liberty of posting my answer to the Design mailing list as well, as we want to keep all the guys in the loop about this. ;-)

My proposal would be to upload all your files there, if that's OK with you, and then give me a heads-up here on the list and also by off-list mail (to make sure I see your post - I don't always follow the Design list closely). I'll definitely post all your work on the libreoffice.org site, as I mentioned before, but would just like to see a green light from Christoph and the guys, beforehand, in case any slight alterations are requested. If they don't respond after a few days then I'll take it as a go. > > Although I have done advertising work (copy, logos, layout, etc.) and have > promoted software before, I have never worked on an Open Source project. > > I guess (more) feedback on what is expected/needed for the banners (What > sizes?
