+> Hi guys,
+> 
+> You may know that Mageia's installer shows some promotional pictures
+> during the installation[1], which are supposed to demonstrate the main
+> characteristics and assets of Mageia. For Mageia 1, a contributor took
+> the time to design a few pictures to promote some aspects of Mageia,
+> and these are still shown in the installer of Mageia 2 beta 1.
+> Now, it would be good for Mageia 2's look that we design some new
+> pictures. To do so, it could be great that Marcom and Artwork work
+> together to come with a bunch of pretty professional-looking pictures
+> which enforce Mageia's values and trademark.
+> 
+> The fact is, artwork freeze is on March, 10th, i.e. in a bit more than
+> two weeks. So we need to decide what we want to do, who will do it and
+> using which resources and content.
+> So, what are your ideas for these pictures?
+> 
+> I had an initial idea, but you may find better ones. I thought that we
+> could do 5 pictures, each dedicated to one of the core values of
+> Mageia[2], i.e.:
+> - Mageia is social software
+> - Mageia is powerful technology
+> - Mageia is knowledge
+> - Mageia is quality
+> - Mageia is open relations
+> I have no idea about how these key points could be conveyed through
+> artwork, but it could give us hints for the content.
+> 
+> There could be other possibilities, such as promoting the content
+> included in the distribution and the repositories: Mageia Control
+> Center, LibreOffice, latest version of KDE, powerful IDEs, awesome
+> games such as Battle for Wesnoth, etc..
+> We could also focus on the community, displaying small overviews of
+> the work of some of our teams, etc..
+> 
+> So, what are your ideas?

+hi, if there is enough manpower, we could use the core values for the DVD 
+edition, while we could show our major features in the LiveCD edition, to 
+match the aim of these different editions.  I've proposed also a list of short 
+phrases in the old wiki, but now i can't retrieve them in the new one.

+cheers,
