Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu-uk graphics
Well - feel free to use if for whatever, like I say - it was an experiment, if you want to submit it as the team logo again (of course if everyone is in agreement) then feel free, if you don't feel free ;-) - I didn't have a particular function in mind when I created it, and donate it freely to the team.

The Linux Virtual Server website has some very good information on it:
http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/
The howto is here:
http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/
You could also use something like Ultramonkey:
http://www.ultramonkey.org/3/
I saw an amazing demo of Ultramonkey a few years ago at VA-J where
there was a server streaming video content to a laptop with buffering
turned off. The server had the plug pulled and it seamlessly failed
over to its twin without even a glitch on the client side.
LVS is very mature now compared to its humble hearbeat/fake beginnings
almost ten years ago.

The details are here: http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy In a nutshell, the ubuntu logo - including the "circle of friends" - are a trademark of Canonical and cannot be used or modified without their permission. Reading between the lines (IANAL nor do I play one on TV etc.) they're not going to be bothered what individuals use as forum avatars etc., but if a group want to use it then they should get it approved. That said, getting our current logo approved was fairly straightforward, although we (purposely) didn't stray to far from the original. > I am not suggesting we do or don't change the existing logo, just passing > on the info. Ubuntu and Ubuntu UK are meritocracies, and as such if a better logo comes along I'll be the first to back it, provided we obtain approval for it first. -- Dave Murphy - http://www.schwuk.com -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu-uk graphics
Hi folks, I've been trying to get better at using Gimp and Inkscape and have created some ubuntu-uk artwork. It's a single graphic type jobby that'd be OK for a forum avatar, desktop icon or whatnot If anyone likes it, feel free to use it. If anyone has any feedback, please feel free to offer constructive criticism as I am a gimp and inkscape noob!!! http://justuber.com/graphics_and_artwork:ubuntu Chris -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
