Re: Christmas cards

Hi,

In this case we may have a look to e-cards sending via a recently promoted web
site. (gnomeplanet,gnomejournal...).

All e-cards could be freely snedable, and we could image somethings like four
square visual in single page. As is we could have 1 visual for "Merry XMas and
Happy NY", 1 for a dedicated personnal e-message, 1 for general Gnome Message,
and one randomly Gnome Application Focused.

As is, sponsors have "luxurious" paper cards, and all GNOME lovers can freely
promote our project.
