Well, the YaST Mascot Contest is a lot about sharing the ideas not only about a graphical design. If you don't have (any) graphical skills, just put your ideas on a piece of paper and scan/take a picture of them. Upload that picture to the wiki and comment it. Bye Lukas

But the main problem is that, IMO, nobody knew about this contest. I have asked some people, and they had no idea. By the way, the big cat (Yo) reminds me of a kzin :-P And "Yo" means "I" in my language... - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Same here. No one I've asked was aware this contest existed... OK, I haven't asked that many people, but so far it comes as a surprise to everyone. Was it announced in an openSUSE newsletter? This isn't the first time that something was happening, and the larger openSUSE community wasn't aware of it. How are we supposed to be alerted to things like this? newsletter? email? front page of the opensuse.org site? Somehow a bunch of us are missing out on a part of the community activities.

Definitely it should have been at News openSUSE.org at least. I thought I saw it there but now it seems I was wrong. Anyway, we'll announce it better, please, submit your ideas :) Thx & Bye Lukas -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ano, ano.

Bad luck :) Anyway, we'll hopefully extend the deadlines. We'll try to announce such things better next time. *shame*
By the way, the big cat (Yo) reminds me of a kzin :-P And "Yo" means "I" in my language...
I had to search for "Kzin" first ;) and ask the author then and ... no, author denies being inspired by Kzin as he didn't know Kzin either. Bye Lukas

Good :-)

X'-) No, I was joking; I didn't think he was inspired on kzin, just that it reminds me of them. They are quite different, anyway. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

You present a trashy, smart-ass comment that detracts from the contest effort and accuse me of being negative and then use an expletive. Perhaps you should examine your own demeanor.
