Hi,

As you know we're in the middle of designing the new and shiny boot 
experience for Karmic. A call for participation came quite late (being 
late is an inherent part of the 6-month cycle I guess!), but you've 
responded nonetheless. Many thanks for all submissions so far (in 
particular to mr. doob!), we saw some good insights and concepts there.

The freeze is approaching fast and the developers will need final 
designs soon. The design team will now work very hard on putting 
together a final proposition, but we're still looking for inspirations 
and fresh ideas! Please do continue submitting your ideas and spreading 
the word.

To give some tips, we're looking for:

- replacing the progress bar with the spinner (or other animated elements)
- using the effect of glowing light (you may have heard of light 
painting) in the dark
- very subtle use of Ubuntu branding (avoid huge logos)

Please submit your work to 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Boot

Looking forward to seeing your submissions!

Cheers,

Mat
