Hello everyone,

I collected all of the submissions ( 41 :- ) and created a wiki page based
on the Launchpad use case.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/TeamLogoSubmissions

The objective is to view the candidates as they may appear on a web page (
desired target ).

Best regards,

John

* Dates *

A general discussion about the best format for dates and the "silent
consensus" is to accept the ISO 8601 standard which is -mm-dd.

The question was raised the current Open Office splash screen will need to
be changed. It was agreed the splash screen should be updated but deferred
as LibreOffice branding is under heavy development.

rulers pointers has been fixed and is available from a PPA.

Ivanka,

Thank you for your comments. I really like what PiTiVi has accomplished to
date but improvements lag behind other products such as OpenShot and
Kdenlive. IMO Ubuntu needs a robust video editor targeted to "not
professionally trained" individuals.

I like the idea of an OpenShot screen cast and I will see if I can squeeze
it in. :-)

A source of sounds I have used in the past is  http://www.freesound.org/
FreeSound Org .

Best regards,

John
