liveCD 2.14
A quite final version of the liveCD is at: http://ftp.gnome.org/mirror/temp/gnome-livecd-2.12/gnome-livecd-2.14-i386-en-1.iso It is based on ubuntu and still contains some ubuntu branding. I had liked to get it more vendor neutral but simply didn't have enough computing power. Blame it on DHL who got my new computer lost between Germany and France - I was stuck with an old PII450 which is a nightmare for CD development. Well, check it out and feed me back.

plan for the EclipseCon GNOME booth
Hi, Now that my plans for the EclipseCon GNOME booth have solidified a little, I just wanted to run them by this list to get some comments or suggestions. I going to get these three posters professionally printed and have them on display: http://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/temp/officialdekthappy.svg http://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/temp/poster-ontheminute.svg http://ramnet.se/~nisse/diverse/temp/poster-language.svg (with corrected spelling mistake) I might even get them printed on something that won't get damaged in transit so that I can pass them on to other people running such booths in the future. I'd also like to print out a flyer that I can hand out to people at the conference. I found this one on the Marketing Material page: http://www.viralata.net/blog/archives/2004/10/13/why-choose-gnome-out-in-pdf/ but I'd like to have something more colourful. I noticed that the images on the front page of gnome.org are kinda slick (nice colours and graphics, simple and to the point slogan: "Power Combined"). Unfortunately, I'm not a graphics whiz and I don't really have time to make up a little flyer based on those images. If somebody feels like lending a hand, that would be cool. As far as the demo DVD goes, I'm going to use kadischi to generate a live-DVD based on pre Fedora Core 5. The reason I chose Fedora over Ubuntu is because I work with the Fedora version of Eclipse and I know that it is working well in Fedora at the moment. The discs will have GNOME 2.12, but I figured having a stable Eclipse was more important than the newest GNOME - it is EclipseCon after all :) In order to get the discs in time and at a reasonable cost, I bought a bunch of blank DVDs and an inkjet printer that can print on CDs/DVDs. I'm not sure how well it will work, but I'll post a message to the list when I'm done. Anyway, that's my plan. Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions. Thanks, Ben -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

I guess I shouldn't have tried to read it so quickly. I think I even wrote that myself. Sorry. However, it probably should link to 2.12/ rather than the ugly 2.12/notes directory listing. -- Murray Cumming [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
