Hey GNU/Linux users! As part of our activities to further the promotion of GNU/Linux and the Malta Linux User Group, we have decided that our local flavour of the Linux penguin, Pingwinu, needs a makeover!
The current version can be found here: http://www.linux.org.mt/article/penguin and here: http://www.linux.org.mt/img/penguin-big.jpg We would like Pingwinu to get a more modern image to better represent GNU/Linux in Malta. If you're any good with graphics, we're asking you to come up with new designs and send them in. We've created a special e-mail address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on which you can submit your creations. You're free to modify the Linux logo as much as you want, be creative! The original Linux logo can be found here: http://www.isc.tamu.edu/~lewing/linux/ Here's a few things to remember: 1) There can be more the one submission from the same member, heck, the more the better! 2) If you know any professional graphic designers or people who are really good with graphics please ask them to participate. If everyone asks at least one person, we'll double the amount of submissions (simple math, I know...) 3) Images can be in any format, but they should preferably be in SVG. EPS is good too. If you can't use those formats then please send them in a format independent of any program, such as PNG, JPG etc... We also accept The GIMP's XCF format. Please make your images as large as possible, so we can scale them down later. 4) Since these images tend to be quite big in size (especially EPS etc...) please TAR or ZIP your images before sending them to the e-mail mentioned above. 5) If your image is chosen as the MLUG logo, you will retain copyright on your image, but the Malta Linux User Group will automatically be granted EXCLUSIVE and UNRESTRICTED use of the image. Also, remember that by designing the MLUG logo, you will be forever immortalized as a hero amongst local geeks and your ego will have a great boost! How good is that?! When a sufficient amount of submissions have been received, we will choose the best five. We will then put a poll on the linux.org.mt website where you can vote for the favourite one. The MLUG committee is looking forward to seeing your designs, please help us promote the OS we all love! Keith Vassallo, Assistant Secretary, Malta Linux User Group http://www.linux.org.mt
