CD creation has nothing to do with it, really. We simply make stuff based on the defaults. If there were a "branding" USE flag on these packages, we would use it. That's about all of the interaction Release Engineering would have with regard to this. I do want to point out that we have someone who has been doing our splash themes for us since 2005.0 for the releases (blackace). The best course of action currently is simply to pool the resources together and find out what you have available with respect to artists and pre-existing work. Please do NOT rush into this, or we'll end up looking worse off for it. > PR, are you guys willing (or able) to remake your materials? What would > it take? The only "materials" that I am aware of that we have is some flyers and generic business cards, along with the Gentoo "G" logo on a large poster. We shouldn't have too hard of a time changing stuff since we don't really have much of anything, which is something I'm hoping we can change. > Who runs the store? I can't find any info about it. Can you/will you > change the products? I do. I can change them to anything, really. The main concern I have here is that we have something that can easily be translated into either black and white or CYMK for pressing professional-looking CDs. I am currently working on investigating other avenues for what we can do to provide a better service for our users and possibly generate more revenue with our release media via our store. > Anything else that can be themed that I'm missing? > > Like I said in that other email, if we start right now we could have it > all done in time for 2007.0. I wouldn't shoot for anything sooner than this, really, as it will take a massive amount of coordination. > Am I being crazy thinking we can do all of this?
