I wouldn't object any other place because users will find it any way if searching by Google or any other means. >> Wouldn't it be nice to have some FreeBSD specific splash screens in >> the artwork section or elsewhere and you mention it in your section? > > Artwork section? Do you mean creating an artwork section? No, not necessarily. We have http://www.freebsd.org/art.html Imho we should have "official" FreeBSD splashs there too in any form. It's some sort of marketing and imho there should be at least three of them available. Imagine both FreeBSD distributions (PC-BSD and DesktopBSD) have their specific boot splashs enabled by default because most desktop users want it. Disclaimer: I'm NOT propagating shipping FreeBSD with a default splash! >> Maybe it would be good idea to ask on advocacy for proposals? > > Do you mean the freebsd-advocacy mailing list? What kind of proposals? Yes, I mean't freebsd-advocacy. If we want to ease using splashs why don't we ask our users providing some examples? Or even write a news announcing an "splash contest"? - Daniel
