infinityOS is a media-orientated Linux distribution based on Ubuntu. It strives to be as easy-to-use and lightweight as possible, while retaining a full range of multimedia features. It includes a fully integrated BitTorrent client capable of automatic downloading and a wide variety of media codecs, so your entire media library may be played out of the box. It supports most computers, from netbooks to desktops to media centers.

I am horrible at image editing. This is why I need your help to finish the branding on infinityOS. Here are some of my ideas:

- Wallpaper: The wallpaper could be based on this Firefox Persona: http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/181657 (I was flattered when someone else made that ;P). I like the idea of Infinity Tux peeking out of the bottom of the screen.
- Icon for login screen and the Xfce Menu: I was thinking we could make the infinityOS icon be the head of Infinity Tux.
- Boot Screen: Full color, full body Infinity Tux with a background gradient like the Persona above. I'm thinking there should be a circular throbber like the Mac OS load screen.

Any help I get with this will be greatly appricated. I am no master of Photoshop or the GIMP. :P

I have setup a thread to help you guys brainstorm and contribute:

The next release, infinityOS 1.0 RC4, will be a true release candidate. I intend to rename "1.0 RC4" to just "1.0" if there are no major issues with it. Because of this I have a bit of a list of things I would like included for RC4, some of which I need help with.

- infinityOS is listed as Ubuntu in the Grub bootloader. I would like to change this to infinityOS without recompling the kernel.
- I would like to have a clipboard manager enabled by default. But I would need to be able to disable the tray icon, to avoid clutter.
- I would also like to set the time to local time, instead of UTC. I tried doing this, but it seems to have gotten reset when I made the Live CD.
- Complete removal of PulseAudio from the Ubuntu packages. This thankfully seems to be centered around one package: gnome-media

A full list of targeted bugs is available here: https://launchpad.net/infinityos/+milestone/1.0rc4

I would appreciate any help or directions I can get as I want RC4/1.0 to be the best release it can be.


Thanks for reading this,

As a few users have asked for rudimentary social networking integration, I've decided to add Pino, the Twitter client, to the next release of infinityOS. I thought about adding Gwibber, the client Ubuntu is using in Lucid, but it is becoming way too bloated and requires way too many dependences (I predict it will support mail in the next release :P).

I've also asked my friend who makes Facebook apps for a living and knows a crap ton about the Facebook API to help bring Facebook support to Pino.
