Where are you guys at with new artwork assets? UI Freeze is Sep 10 and its not much easier to get stuff through before that date!

Hopefully Jackson and Bruce (octoquad) can take care of the packaging, and I will sponsor the uploads (probably the only things I can't sponsor
are ubiquity slideshow and syslinux themes).

If you need help with plymouth code, just let me know, I've played with that a bit before.
