Banners - Creative Freedom Suite

[Ryan Gorley]

Sorry for the slow reply. I've been very busy trying to catch up with
some work projects prior to leaving again for the Inkscape Hackfest this
week in Boston.

I don't mind watching after the set for North America, or at least
keeping track of who has them so we know who to contact when we need to
ship them. We have some team members in the UK, France, and Germany, as
I'm sure you do as well. I think we can just pass them around to people
we trust.

I think I will look around your artwork galleries and see if I can find
anything someone has done that looks like it could work for a banner
like this. Print resolution is tough at this scale. I'm open to
suggestions on artists you think I should look at first.

Will your project have any kind of official presence at LinuxFest
Northwest? If so, I probably need to get rolling pretty quickly on this.

(Kudos on the 4.0 launch, btw. I'm really excited to see that make its
way into my distro repo so I can try it out!)
