This is not for a default windowmanager for FreeBSD, this is to get people thinking about a multimedia image for FreeBSD. We are doing it via a theme contest. It will not be just `pictures, icons, and crap'. It will have to be a configuration that allows the root user to do system management a lot easier, on a freshly installed box; or on a box that has been up a while. > For right now my vote is on KDE.

We thought about having the general public vote on this via the web, but decided it was not a good idea. If the public voted on something, no one is to say they have tried all the entrys. Once again, this is not for a WindowManager, it is for the configuration+helper apps of a windowmanager. KDE is one of the WM's that are allowed, many others are too. > Anyways, where can I do this voting and/or get more information about > this? More information is coming soon, hopefully by tommorow our webpage will be ready for primetime. As I plan to have all the legal info, etc up. -- Phillip Salzman FreeBSD X11 Desktop Contest Coordinator To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
