OOo 3 Countdown Graphics

[Ivan M]

Hello all,

With OOo 3 coming up in a few weeks' time, it would be great to have a
countdown on the homepage in order to promote and increase awareness
of OOo 3's upcoming release.

So I'd like to ask for your proposals/submissions for the countdown
graphic. The only guideline is that it should fit in with the look of
the homepage. Please add your graphics to this wiki page:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Art/Website/Countdown

You might also like to have a look at Ubuntu and Fedora's countdown
graphics to get an idea of what it could look like (it should be about
the same size)
http://www.ubuntu.com/files/countdown/804/ubuntu/804UbuntuCountdown_17days.jpg
and http://fedoraproject.org/static/images/counter/en/fedora9-countdown-09.en.png

Thanks,
Ivan.

You may not have so much time for organizing this, the estimated dates
are on http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOoRelease30#OOo_3.0_Final
The build for RC2 will be available at least on Monday, 15th and if
there are no new showstoppers the release would be in the followig
week.

Bye

Volker

What are the rules about using the newly chosen OOo 3.0 art theme?

Yes, the problem is that the official release date hasn't been set in
stone, so I was hoping the graphics would be done by the time we did
know the official release date, and that there would be at least a
week left to count down... even if that's not the case, we could reuse
it for the following releases (3.1, 3.2 ...).

If you're asking with regard to the countdown graphic, you're welcome
to use the new OOo 3 graphics. Otherwise, if you're asking about the
new theme more generally, Florian would be the best person to ask.

Regards,
Ivan.

I think, at the end you won't really have that week.
It is always the same way: A RC is done and from the RC-release it can
be 8-10 days to the real release. But if new issues are coming up the
whole thing is thrown away after 5-8 days of testing. Than a new RC is
done were these issues are fixed and the whole thing is starting
again.
So my opinion: Don't do it.

Bye

Volker

Fair enough. Thanks for pointing this out. If there is a degree of
uncertainty, it's best not to announce it/create unnecessary hype and
then fail to deliver. So to everyone: please ignore this request.

Regards,
Ivan.
