CDROM-Artwork (4)

[Peer Schaefer]

Hi Ceri,
SVGs can be easily edited with opensource tools like Inkscape or Sodipodi.

Said this, I would be very happy to post new versions for each release. 
If there are no objections to the versions I posted, I will just adjust 
them.

Do you think there would also be interest in a "box-design"? That would 
require a color-printer that can print on A3-paper (ISO 216 = 297 × 
420mm) and that can swallow thick box-paper, so that's nothing for the 
average user.

I also thought of "funny versions" for some events (e.g. a "christmas 
version" with a christmas-tree or father-christmas on it that can be 
available from the FreeBSD website in December). What do you think? I am 
relatively new to FreeBSD and don't know if there is a tradition of 
making funny things like release happenings on the website or such. Hmmm...?

Best regards,
Peer
