Dear Andreas, I have been more than a bit distracted lately, with work, events everything just piling one after other. [1], [2] I could have been part of Debutsav but then this task would have been pushed back for even longer [3] . Hence am back now. I would probably start writing tonight on the subject. I have already made some efforts but still there are lots more to go. For instance I believe (and I might have shared before) , it would be nice if each blend has its own theme and wallpaper. I have talked to some design people about it who might contribute, I just need to point to the resources once I sort of clean up the whole thing. I would be looking at the blends manual in more detail to see if I can get some more info. and can make only suggestions if that's ok [4]. 1. https://itsfoss.com/author/shirish/ [one published, 3 more to go] 2. https://flossexperiences.wordpress.com/2019/03/05/celebrating-science-day-at-gmrt-and-wsf/ 3. https://debutsav.in/ 4. https://blends.debian.org/blends/ Let me know if there is something more that you would like me to add to the article. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8
