Thorsten,

Thank you for the guidance. I was not aware of "foopics.com" but I uploaded
an image to test the process and I support the tool as it is very easy to
use.

My Test Image (Wallpaper):

If anyone has an opinion why re-branding this team is a bad idea I would
really like to hear it. At the very least we need to come into alignment
with the new Ubuntu branding standards.

Otherwise, let's post some ideas to "foopics" and talk about it here.

John
