As mentioned somewhere in one of these recent threads, back on Oct 2nd Jordan floated the idea that we might want to go with "New artwork for 3.0 CD cover?". Shortly thereafter he found out that there wasn't enough time to pull together new artwork for the 3.0 release, but I think the floor is still open for newer CD artwork for the next version released (schedule for January 1999, I believe). We might want to consider this "artwork" issue along with that, and separate the 'artwork' part of the certification thread from the nuts and bolts of what catagories there should be and how we will certify products into those catagories. And I personally think the nuts and bolts part of certification needs to be fleshed out a bit more before we worry about the artwork that goes along with it... --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
