Note that they are outdated and what we're looking for now is meant to be very different, yet I believe it useful for y'all to see what has been worked on. One frontpage mockup here, please ignore the logo (no logo for now): http://sh.nu/~crimsun/mirror/ubuntu-marketing/spreadubuntumockup54dh.png And another, html mockup here: http://sh.nu/~crimsun/mirror/ubuntu-marketing/subeta.tar.gz
And my very own, very new, sitemap here: http://sh.nu/~crimsun/mirror/ubuntu-marketing/Spreadubuntu-060628-jenda.png Be sure to check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/SpreadUbuntu as well soon - I'm working on it at the very moment. Keep in mind that the mockups we're looking for now should only have the front page on them, not the entire site. And once again: please do give it a try. You can even team up in groups to work something out till July 12. Thanks, Jenda -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
