I just woke up (yawn) ... I will do that .. I didn't wash my face yet. I
must go out about 40mins from now but I will do the poster and log out.

As for the access to the website, we shall arrange that soon.

We still need a cover picture for Facebook, Twitter and Google+

"Ubuntu GNOME wishes you a very happy new year 2015"

None of the artwork team has replied to that one :(
