[ubuntu-art] Counting Down to Ubuntu 10.10

[Matthew Nuzum]

Hi, I've published the banners at www.ubuntu.com/community/countdown

Add them to your website and tell your friends. Unlike previous times, there
is no Javascript. It's purely an <img /> tag so it should be compatible with
any system.

Thanks to everyone who contributed!
