Brand new idea

Postby philjon on Fri Jul 13, 2007 5:09 pm

linuxviolin send follow screenshot from an other distribution :

http://shiftbackspace.com/images/pardus ... _large.png

It gave me an idea. We could ask some charity if they want we inclue in our distribution some wallpapers that could sensiblise people.

So , now comes the idea for MintDesktop , MintDesktop will manage downloading of wallpapers , changing it after a certain time . User could change this refresh-time and also choose from which organization they would receive wallpapers.

P.S. : Excuse me for my very bad level of English , I try to improve the level of it.

hmm id say your quite limited by what charities would work for this, i dont mean this to sound insensitive, but i wouldnt think many people want starving Africans as their desktop background, majestic animals is one of the exceptions though.

hairy_Palms ===> OK maybe not "many people want starving Africans as their desktop background" but maybe some works made by these populations...

I think It is a very good idea. We could have very beautiful themes, backgrounds… while supporting associations, foundations… 8)

Yes , that's a good idea. It would not be revolutionnary for these organisations , but it's a free and influencial method to influence people.

If we do something like that , it would be necessary to have a good coordination and that media relays the information.

But first of all , we must work on the technical side of this project (if we go for it :) )
