Count me in for graphics work if you need things like wallpapers etc. As i mentioned i'm not a coder or translator sadly.
As to the points raised above, i would say this (my preference)

Base it on 14.04 - most folk, even on old machines would want the latest and greatest
YES to the 12 month release cycle. Folk coming from XP would be shocked at the amt of reinstalls/system updates on Linux.
Suggest try as hard as possible to keep the iso 'CD-sized' for old machines.
Is Sourceforge still a good site to host it? I nderstand they're fine unless your file is 1gig and over.
I'd suggest just Alpha, Beta, RC and Release versioning.

I have been thinking about ToriOS identity (and snagged the 1920x1920 png final logo) and would like to suggest the use of the Japanese White-Eye songbird as a possible base for wallpaper designs (or even logo if the team decide to change the existing one).

Also a couple of questions from me:
1) Is it still decided to use IceWM (if so i could look into how to theme it).
2) Are the colours used in the final logo final colours that i should use in any designs i do?
3) What is the typeface used in the logo?

Cheers!

Hola amigos,

Hope everyone is fine and not sick like the poor me (nasty flu),

Before I start taking any decision or creating any new blueprint, I'd 
like (as I always used to do with all my projects) to think loudly with 
my family (you) so let's see how this will develop :)

ATTENTION:
These are just ideas ... NOTHING yet confirmed :)

1- ToriOS is supporting Non-PAE machines by default - we have already 
agreed on that - just a reminder.
2- ToriOS is always an LTS - we too agreed on that as well - just a 
reminder.
3- ToriOS will be released every 12 months NOT every 6 months like 
Ubuntu - new idea.
4- ToriOS 1.0 is based on 12.04 LTS - we have discussed that before but 
didn't yet 100% agree on.
5- ToriOS 2.0 will be based on 14.04 LTS
6- nm-manager should not be used as far as I have read so far from 
different people all of them confirmed the big RAM eater is nm-manager.
7- While we're targeting low hardware machines (32-bit), shouldn't we 
also think of those who wish to try ToriOS on more powerful machine 
(64bit)? if that so, we need two builds: i386 and amd64.
8- I need the Wiki and Docs team to write each and every post, not only 
about the system, how to use it, system requirement, etc ... no ... I'm 
planning to document the steps that we have done to create this or will 
create this system and YES, I mean the technical side so I guess both 
the docs and devs guys need to work side by side if you agree on this.
9- 60MB or 50MB? don't want to kill ourselves but if we could do that, 
why not? I guess you know what I'm talking about :)
10- Have we thought about the ISO size? any idea how big will it be? 
around 300MB? 400MB? less or more? AFAIK, it should never reach say 
600MB, right?
11- Where are we going to host the ISOs? do we have a host for that?
12- As long as ToriOS is based on Ubuntu, we can test it on Virtual 
Machine such as OracleVB, correct?
13- By any chance, do we need to talk with Ubuntu/Canonical team about 
our Project? I mean is there any kind of approval or stuff like that we 
need? I'm talking about the technical side of our project as they should 
have nothing to do with the other stuff but maybe they do with the 
technical side, that is why I'm asking and we need to know IMHO.
14- Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Beta 1, Beta 2 and RC? or no need for that? should 
we just do Alpha, Beta and RC? these are milestones just like what 
Ubuntu GNOME or Lubuntu are doing when it comes to the development cycle.
15- I know it is hard to tell at this point but any idea when ToriOS 1.0 
will be available to download and use? I know I'm the one who should 
announce that but if truth to be told, it is something that our devs 
should advise for and we haven't yet done anything serious.


Okay, I guess that is all for now ...

I have another ideas/Qs to think of loudly with you but that is for 
another email as these are the non-technical stuff and should be on 
different email :)

Thank you!
