Lucid Lynx Countdown Banners

[TheFridge]

The countdown banner is alive and counting down the days until 10.04 LTS is released.

Lets help build some excitement by spreading the word! We’ll need your help to tell others about the banner. Start by adding one of the three options to your website, the instructions are at http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown

We’d like to thank the artists who created this years chosen entries:

* John Baer for the “change” artwork
* Immanuel Peratoner for the “orange” artwork
* Amanda Warzecha for the “lynx” artwork

Congratulations for the great work!

Would it be possible to set up an image that is updated with a cron job so that those who cannot use JS will be able to have the image change as well?

[l.billon]

Hi!
I do not know if such a thing exists,
However, this image is changed daily:
http://countdown.immanuel-peratoner.de/index.php

It is the one I use, for my website is non-JS.

[Umang]

Thanks. Hopefully the official set of images will have this ability next time.

People, the "Change" code is faulty.
For some reason, its displaying the 9.10 "Its here" image.
Please try to correct this

Like last release, I have created a PHP Script which delivers the right image.
It handles all 3 official Banners.

Has Sue Barr, the photographer of the Canadian Lynx in 'The Lynx', been contacted about using her photographic work in this artwork? Or has she released the picture under a free license?

Not to be a bugger, but I think copyrights should be respected.

Thx :)
