High profile and non-high profile would do for me. I would like to see different faces from all over the world and make a collage of all this images turned into the symbol and the word for Ubuntu. Ubuntu is both for followers and the not-so-much-following-others among ourselves ;) I am though worried about this being not so including related to other distros... Maybe we should reach out to others and make the: I am Fedora I am Gnewsense I am OpenSuse I am Debian I am Gentoo I am Slackware I am Ubuntu I am Put-your-fav-distro-name-here I am RMS I am Linus Etc... And then spell: "GNU/Linux" with the collage I would like Theo and others to join the party, but I don't think they would unless we end up spelling something else... ;) Happy new year to everyone!
