(...) (Alessandro, I first wanted to wait for all the Debian-www to say they were "ok" with me answering on this issue. I'm speaking here on behalf of the Debian web team.) First of all thanks for the work you have previously done promoting Linux with splendid art graphics. Secondly, as you might be aware Debian "abandoned" the TuX image sometime ago in favor of a new logo [1] [2] One of the things we are currently lacking is more promotional material our developers and users could use for CDs, posters, etc.. We have tried to provide some of these on our "Events" pages [3]. Thus, we would really appreciate any new graphics for the project such as: 1.- Posters to display on expositions' stands 2.- CD covers for our releases 3.- graphics for printing on t-shirts 4.- a logo for the Debian-Junior. project [4] (I liked the logos for Debian-Med :) Regarding 2) you might already know that our releases are named after "Toy story" characters [5], however, the images of those characters are (of course) copyrighted by Pixar. It would be nice to have CD covers for our latest release that somehow evokd the woody character (for example a cowboy hat) without violating that (c). Well, that's a thought. In any case, anything you feel could improve the current situation is welcome indeed. These are just suggestions out of the top of my head. Best regards Javi [1] http://www.debian.org/News/1999/19990826 [2] which you might already now is available at http://www.debian.org/logos/ [3] more specifically http://www.debian.org/events/material [4] http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-jr/ [5] More on this in http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/project-history/ch3.html
