Random Ubuntu Advocacy

I've received a few emails in the past couple of weeks regarding the availability of a replacement image for the Ubuntu Christmas Campaign image. Feeling a little guilty at not having had something ready, forward planning is something I need to work on, I've now created a set of Ubuntu advocacy images designed to be displayed randomly.

The images are based on a set of Ubuntu banners that I created last year. The images are exactly the same size, dimensionally, as the Christmas image, and therefore replacement should be a simple operation.

The image pool

Fast secure surfing with Firefox and Ubuntu. Organize, enjoy & share your photos with F-Spot and Ubuntu. Get creative with GIMP and Ubuntu. Work smarter with OpenOffice.org and Ubuntu. Chat more with Pidgin Instant Messenger and Ubuntu. Rip, burn & play with Rhythmbox and Ubuntu. Find it faster with Meta Tracker and Ubuntu.

Demo of random display

You can witness the randomness in action on this demo page.

Get the code

Copy & paste the following code into your HTML/blog template where you would like the random image placement to occur:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://crunchbang.net/advocacy/ubuntu_199_164.js">
</script>
<noscript>
<a href="http://ubuntu.com/getubuntu" title="Get Ubuntu!">
<img src="http://crunchbang.net/advocacy/199_164_ubuntu.png" alt="Get Ubuntu."></a>
</noscript>

Image sources

The original GIMP files can be downloaded from:
http://crunchbang.org/misc/199_164_ubuntu_images.tar.gz

    hi! great job :D ! I'm thinking about to translate in in Italian ;)

  6. edo947 wrote, Saturday, January 26th, 2008

    I am not good at using gimp ^^' but I wrote the translation for you, so you can edit the images better then me ;D

    For FIREFOX: navigazione veloce e sicura con Firefox e… For F-Spot organizza, goditi & condividi le tue foto con F-Spot e… For Gimp diventa creativo con GIMP e… For OpenOffice.org lavora meglio con OpenOffice.org e… For Pidgin chatta di più con Pidgin Instant Messenger e… For Rhytmbox* rippa, masterizza & ascolta con Rhytmbox e… For Tracker cerca più velocemente con Meta Tracker e…

    If you have problems conctact me, sorry but i'm not good at gimp, if i were i would have edited the images for you ;D

    • in italian there isn't a good translation of the mean of verb RIP (properly "strappare") so we use a neologism "rippare" so rip should become "rippa" ;D

    bye edo947 :)

    @Bert: No problem, thanks for reminding to pull my finger out! :D

    @edo947: I'm sure you're better at using GIMP than I am at speaking/writing Italian :D

    @Alan: Cool, thanks for using the images :)

    @gouki: You must have been working on the translation as I was writing my update. Sorry, I'll try and be a bit quicker next time. Thanks for taking time and putting the effort, it's appreciated! Plus, it's always good to have an alternative available ;)

    @Vincent: No need to to apologise, you're not late :) Thank you for the translation, I'll upload the files and perform another update. Thanks again :)

    @Voland: Thank you for the translation, you've done a great job, the images are excellent! I'll convert them to PNG format and upload with the other translations. Thanks again :)

  29. johnc4510 wrote, Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

    Another great job. I had used the Christmas themed one and was wanting a new one to substitute. BTW, Wordpress doesn't let us use java scripts, so I took the blank one and added some text. See it here: http://johnc4510.wordpress.com/ Hope that's alright!! Hee Hee I would have loved to use the random images. :(

    I downloaded 199_164_ubuntu_images.tar.gz 3 times but it turned out to be corrupted all 3 times… can you please check, Philip? I want to translate them to Bengali.

  39. Philip wrote, Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

    @Russell: Hi :) I have rebuilt the tarball, please try again. You can verify the download against the following MD5 sum: 13c01d306c1e0c5256b6b0f40b6ff788

    I am looking forward to seeing a Bengali version :)

    I'd like to have a banner saying;

    This page was created with Ubuntu"

    this is a great idea. Ubuntu needs more publicity.
