Hi Matthew,

Thank you for the feedback. If we did this, we could either move the
starting slide (with the k/x/ubuntu logo) as the second slide or remove it
altogether as you suggest. Does anyone else have any preferences or thoughts
about this?

More fundamentally, can we assume that the web stream version of the videos
will always be accompanied by a web title or text that will include the
information on the starting sequence slides? I know that Youtube doesn't
seem to use the first frame as the static preview and I just checked Google
Video and it looks like it also uses a random frame. Thoughts, ideas?

Cheers,
Michael
