Excellent.  I'll start in on it and let you know if I need questions answered.  I'll try to get you something by the end of next week.

These are cycling jersey's that have the approval of the marketing team at Canonical.  There are several Canonical employees that plan to purchase these jersey's.

I'm am hoping that we can use some Ubuntu culture for the theme of the jersey.  Ubuntu has a unique mascot for each release.  My thought was that we would design a jersey that incorporated the mascots of our releases.  The style of the Hardy Heron wallpaper was pretty popular and would probably look good on jerseys.  Here is a link to the wall paper I'm referring to: http://images.google.com/images?q=hardy+heron+wallpaper

>> The jersey could include the current supported releases or we could try to incorporate them all.  The jersey isn't limited to a predefined set of colors, so we really have a lot of leeway in our design.

>> Here is the list of mascots so you don't have to look them up:
>> 
>> Lucid Lynx
>> Karmic Koala
>> Jaunty Jackalope
>> Intrepid Ibex
>> Hardy Heron
>> Dapper Drake
>> 
>> Gutsy Gibbon
>> Feisty Fawn
>> Edgy Eft
>> Breezy Badger
>> Hoary Hedgehog
>> Warty Warthog
>> 
>> I realize that there is a wiki page for Ubuntu Jerseys, but I feel that we want to push the boundaries more than these designs.  The jerseys appear to be limited by the number of colors that they can contain due to manufacturing limits.  Plus, they appear to just reuse a lot of logos and I'm hoping for something new and exciting.

>> They have some notes about the black areas of the templates.  The black area can be one of seven pre-dyed colors.  I recommend checking out the notes on the page.

>> The Diabetes ride is in June and the Multiple Sclerosis ride is in September.  The manufacturing process takes 6 to 8 weeks, so we have some time to design.

>> I look forward to hearing from the group.  This is an exciting opportunity for your artwork to be seen by thousands of participants in these events.  Please let me know if you have questions or need additional information.
