[Mageia-marketing] [Mageia-artwork] Splash screens ready

[Patricia Fraser]

Hi Esteban,

I'm really sorry you're feeling excluded, especially after all your
hard work. Your splash screens are great, and it would be grand if we
could use them in future - and it would be even greater if you could
bring yourself to stay part of the marketing and/or artwork teams,
although I understand if you don't want to.

I hope we'll keep hearing from you, and that you'll consider keeping on
working with us.

Thanks once again for your hard work!

Cheers,

Patricia.
