If we need a new source image, you can go to http://beagleboard.org/media and check out the images there. The high-res logo is http://beagle.s3.amazonaws.com/logo/beagle_logo_FNL_2_cmyk.eps. Personally, I wouldn't mind if someone took the vector image of http://beagleboard.org/static/uploads/BorisTux_w_Logo.png and combined it with the Debian logo in some way to make a nice scalable backdrop that looks like Debian. I also think the black background looks nice. > >> I'm working through the process of trying to install MachineKit / >> LinuxCNC via packages (including the kernel and Xenomai user-mode), and >> will switch to the new image for further testing. >> >> Keep up the great work! > > > Regards, > > -- > Robert Nelson > http://www.rcn-ee.com/ > > -- > For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "BeagleBoard" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
