It's unlikely that you need desktop effects to play video, but very likely that
you need direct rendering to get either.

Hi Ubuntu UK Team!
Last Night in the meeting It was decided we are going to re-brand
ubuntu-uk.org so I have made some mockups. Each Mocup has different ideas
but with similar layouts.

1 is by far my favorite, then 6 and then 4.
I agree with the idea last night of a focus group though. It should mean
that potentail suggestions and design ideas will be a lot more organised.

What about good a good old English fry-up or fish and chips? Ok, I admit
it's lunchtime :)
Mockup #1 is the best, but I also feel the same, that it is a little too
commercial. What about going with the new official purple colour? Just a
thought.
Great work!! :)

The podcast team were sent a mockup for the podcast site by a listener
a while ago. In general we liked it, and the designer (without
prompting) went off and created an initial go at the html, css and so
on. I quite like it. He even redesigned our podcast logo, which is
pretty cool.

Hi Guys
Mockup 1 is in a different league to the rest. Far, far better.
I am inclined to agree that the London skyline does suggest "big business",
because that kind of image has been used many times before to promote big
"city" corporations. The balance is to look professional, but without l

Along with the podcast remake that Popey showed.

Why not have a list on the Wiki of places people can take pictures of local

Just my 2 pence :)
