In principle someone inside the project has to chose the site and setup and affiliated account. Someone who understands the financial workings of opensuse project. Once that done we can contact our artists and see who is interested.

Writing some emails should be fine for me you find me on irc under ealin... regards, Alin On 8 December 2010 23:47, Jos Poortvliet <jospoortvliet(a)gmail.com> wrote: > On Saturday 04 December 2010 21:51:31 Alin Marin Elena wrote: >> Hi Javier, >> >> here is a list of sites that do what I said >> >> http://www.skinit.com/ >> http://www.istyles.com/ >> http://www.gelaskins.com >> http://www.infectious.com >> http://www.schtickers.com/ >> http://www.decalgirl.com >> >> It will be great if anybody else knows other sites. > > Like the idea.

We can't ask for money because we don't have a foundation yet - that will take a few months at least before that is done. So until then, money doesn't play a role. If you would set up an account and share the account info with a few ppl like rhlim and me that would be just fine. Than yes, it's time to contact the artists, see if they have time to help out. Gnokii seems busy but maybe someone else has some time... cheers, Jos wrote: escribió: > >> >> > Hi there, > >> >> > > >> >> > I have a macbook pro aluminium crap on which I run > >> >> > opensuse...
