Solicit some band to release a song for us? Bands like this kind of thing...

Alternatively, if it's a studio with their hands on the content, how about a
friend of GNOME? Is there one? How do Time feel about us? How would we get a
list of contacts?

art.gnome.org had lots of GNOME branded art - I would pick a couple of noce
splashes. Also www.gimp.org/about/splash has a bunch of splash screens for the
GIMP, if you're interested :)

A well known file in a particular file format? I don't think such a beast
exists. Perhaps we could point at and open something on microsoft.com, without
actually having the file on the disk?

> OO Impress, 200K, Maybe a stock "About GNOME" presentation?

How about Nat's "Swinging the pendulum" talk from last year's GUADEC? I liked
it. Or if there is some more "sales pitch" type presentation that someone has
hidden away, share? :)

Wouldn't bother me not having a video file on there. But it's definitely nice to
push the open media standards where we can. A bit of a dilemma, that.

Cheers,
Dave.
