The goal is to get a dozen of these posters put up in every computer
science department, of universities and technical colleges
worldwide. This requires some funding for printing of the posters and
postage, and while working on securing the needed financial resources
we may also succeed in obtaining some prizes so that we can hold a
DotGNU posters competion. (The winners would be those who have made
significant contributions to what in the end is chosen as DotGNU
poster).
we could ask for donations from people. there are many people who lurk
on the mailing list (yes, i'm talking to you) because they are
interested in DotGNU just waiting for their time to contribute. well
this is a chance for them to do so. i dunno how donations will have to
work, (ie who keeps the money, etcetc). maybe the fsf can do it. who
knows about this stuff?
Who has good contacts to companies (which are not vendors of
proprietary software) that may be sufficiently interested in DotGNU
and/or Free Software that it makes sense to ask them for a
contribution?
it seems like good candidates will be companies that are actually
thinking about using DotGNU for their business. maybe this can lead to
people pushing DotGNU to business?
An anonymous ftp area has been set up on dotgnu.org where you can
upload poster ideas, drafts, submissions, etc. to the incoming
directory. After uploading something, please let us know by sending
email to address@hidden
where is this anonymous ftp area?
Maybe a New Face for DotGNU?
============================
With the upcoming 0.5.0 release of pnet, and a new year beginning, it
may also be a good time to redress DotGNU in general. So besides
contributions towards the DotGNU Poster, we are also interested in new
slogan and logo ideas.
Slogan
While our current slogan of "Making The Web Work For You" is quite ok,
we would like to see what other people can come up with. So if you
have some witty verbiage you'd like to spew out, let us know, and you
may get to see your words plastered all over the world.
Logo
Same story with the logo. We think the one we have rocks, but I am
also excited to see what other people can come up with. So please, if
you're talented in this sort of thing, help us out.
how should people submit their new logo and slogans?
