Official NBR Linux Team Thread

Gautam · 02-25-2007, 11:38 PM

This is the Official NBR Team Linux thread. Joining this team helps to get the word about open-source, free-software to the masses. There are obvious (and some not so obvious) reasons to support FOSS (free open source software) and I encourage all to join.

There are no requirements to join. Please use our official NBR Linux Team signature banner freely and widely. The banner will look like this

when you use

or use the attached image.

Thanks,
NBR Team Linux

what's the plan, then? there seems to be a core bunch of us that help out the n00bs. do you just mean a forum status thing akin to "reviewer" or something?

if you mean "real-life" advocacy, it might be better to join a local LUG

@BigV - No, we aren't talking real life here

The team would mean that we would have a signature logo (we would have to work on making one) that says something about linux and/or support free software. We'd have to think of one.

That is, is I get enough replies. Otherwise, this thread goes bye bye.

Do we get a theme song?

Hmm...I am thinking about toying with Linux in the future. I use it all the time at school, I just don't have it on my home computers......now I will know where to come for help. You need to make a little thing for your sigs that says NBR Linux Team (check out my NBR OC Team one in my sig!).

AuroraS · 02-26-2007, 03:04 AM

Hey I wanna be on this team! It's like we're the NBR Justice League... haha.

I'm still a semi-noob with Linux... but I've learned a lot in the past couple of weeks

It HAS to be the theme from The A-Team! It just has to be!

And, if someone is doing up a userbar or something, I'll slap it on!

Sweet.... you know I'm all over this. The question now is, who's up for designing the logo?

Paul · 02-26-2007, 10:59 AM

Here's a quick userbar I made. I'd rather have a banner in the sig, but I'm at work right now (thus don't have access to GIMP), so I can't edit one. But this is a really simple userbar that you can add if you want. I'll work on a banner later tonight.
