It is too late for wheezy, but not too late for jessie, which is only
just getting started.

Hi all,

Noticed this discussion and would like to add that my intention when designing the front page layout and the original banner (for the website re-design way back) was that the banner would change more often than it does now. I never imagined that the banner would stay the same for a whole release cycle.

I would be great if the banner changed for Debconfs and other important/funny/interesting events. It could then fall back to a more neutral, perhaps not even release specific, design like the original one. I know debian is short on good designers but if the banners are short lived it matters less if mistakes are made. I realize this is all work that has to be done and like myself people very little spare time. Just wanted to clarify how the original idea for the banner was conceived.

Regards

Kalle Söderman
