T-shirt design

2005-03-01 Thread David Neary
ld be nice to have a better 1 color t-shirt, and a 2-color t-shirt, which people could print up. For now, here's my work after 15 minutes (the t-shirt template is also mine and I'll send it on, but I know jimmac has a better one). Cheers, Dave. -- David Neary, Lyon, France

trate on the most recent release when talking about what's new in GNOME. I think we should talk more about the philosophical state of GNOME, and the ongoing changes since 2.0 (and in 2.0, for that matter). Most people are at least 1 or 2 major versions behind the latest. Cheers, Dave. -
