absolutely gutted to hear my best friend has bowl cancer, he fought off testicular cancer 2yrs ago. cancer has hit him harder this time :(
@wstephenson $APP-NM? so wicd-NM ConMan-NM. im just thinking as a simpleton here but try and keep the name as descriptive as possible :)
So what do I need, from who? First things first I need as many distros present with at least one person wearing some attire showing their distro's logo (preferably a top, but anything including underwear will do). I would love to get some suits involved, preferably showing some form of pimpage for their Enterprise distro of choice. I would also like to get as many hardware related projects involved, this also means as many people with different makes of machines running Linux.
I was hoping to have some form of story board up to show my intentions, but time is at a premium at the moment and my artistic skills suck some serious Wookie Ass Crack. My intention is to actually make all the content available for others to tweak, maybe collectively we can actually market Linux from the community's perspective and not rely on a small number of companies putting their product spin on it (I'm not complaining too much - honest).
So to all distros and projects, please help the schmuck that comes round asking for one or two volunteers to help Pimp Our Penguin.
Help needed from other distros and projects attenbding FOSDEM please - http://is.gd/i5FB
