Wall PapersHere we will collect all ideas about the livecd we will be distributing in the fest 2005 .. Apparently phaeronix has a worked its way to being the most viable option ( joy! ).
I currently have two options:
1- Build a new updated system with the latest versions of everything and some very cool ideas I have. This will take time and effort both of which we don't have enough of to spare.
2- Update and bugfix the currently released stable 0.8 version. This is a short procedure and this version has received wide testing, so this seems to be the most logical choice.
This is for me to decide. However I'd love to get help regarding the following things:
- More testing on the 0.8 version. Check the known bugs and report any new ones. Also report any *minor* suggestions / enhancements. http://phaeronix.net/livecd/release
- Artwork: we need stuff related to the fest's theme. isolinux splash , bootsplash , gdm theme , gnome-session splash , wallpaper , theme and icons. Any of these contributions are welcome.
- Inclusions : I think it's a good idea to include some docs with info about eglug, linux , GPL , FOSS etc.. on the CD. Maybe presentations or some small multimedia ( audio / video ) things. Keep in mind the space constraints please.
please add anything else on your mind and links to contributions here, as I am not always available on IRC. Thanks in advance.

I've had some experience with phaeronix 0.8 (it's still on my laptop actually) and reported most of the bugs to phaeron and first impression problems were posted on the release thread. But most of the experience was through the HD install which mostly worked perfect except for some small bugs here and there.
about the artwork, what sizes/formats do you need that screens in?
As far as the multimedia things go... i think that audio/video isn;t much of a good shoice (due to space restrictions as you pointed out). Good text documentation should be sufficent. I think translation is very important when it comes to that sort of things.
