Just ahead of next week's launch of openSUSE 11.2, the open source community has posted three variations on a really green theme and invited openSUSE users and FOSS community members to choose the one they like best.
The choices are:
openSUSE Community Manager Joe Brockmeier says once the community has spoken (and hurry up, there's only a few days left), the chosen art will go through a brief approval process to check for trademark violations, then be shipped off to a printer. The complete turnaround time is expected to take about three weeks. He also mentions a couple of other interesting tidbits about the opensSUSE DVDs:
* You asked for 64-bit, you’ve got it! We’re creating dual-sided media for openSUSE so that we have 32-bit media on one side, 64-bit on the other. This will be especially handy for folks (like me) who have a smattering of 32-bit only hardware still laying around.
* Live CDs: In the past, we’ve not created live CD media, but we wanted to provide some swag for GNOME and KDE specific events — so, we’re going to be creating a limited amount of live CDs that we will provide at events.
So, head over to Brockmeier's blog to cast your vote for openSUSE 11.2's cover art. Help choose Geeko's next look, then go crazy and build your own.
