Hi Robert, hi all, I downloaded the officials OpenGL logos and registered (as requested on the site) using the email address I use for posting here, indicating it was for openscenegraph.org. I uploaded the standard logo+small version on the FTP. Robert, could you add the big one on the front page (and/or anywhere suitable)? Thanks.
I don't have much ideas at the moment too... I'll post again later about "short/key phrases" and the investigation of the OpenGL site. About consoles, should we try to periodically contact manufacturers? Should we do it publicly (= I mean with a copy of the letters on the wiki or blog)? To all: Come on! Throw your ideas in this thread! PS: I like the idea of the magic wand! :) Sukender PVLE - Lightweight cross-platform game engine - http://pvle.sourceforge.net/ Le Fri, 27 Feb 2009 09:51:56 +0100, Robert Osfield <robert.osfi...@gmail.com> a écrit: > Hi Sukender, > > On Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 11:40 PM, Sukender <suky0...@free.fr> wrote: >> I created "Community/Advocacy" (Robert: since it's about OpenGL *AND* OSG, I >> did not put "OpenGL" in the page name). >> See http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Community/Advocacy , and >> start discussing! >> >> Also feel free to complete 2 other pages (and feel free to add links to some >> articles if revelant): >> http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Community/Advocacy/Myths >> http://www.openscenegraph.org/projects/osg/wiki/Community/Advocacy/Demos >> Please note these are only placeholders for now... :) > > Thanks for putting up the pages, it looks like a good start of the process. > >> I begin, by giving some more ideas: >> - May we try to find short sentences that sounds like advertising (about >> OpenGL or OSG) we could put as banners or logos on our websites/blogs?
