Long Overdue But Well Deserved Thanks

Many people attribute the success of SolusOS to the underlying system modifications, patches or enhancements. But there is one role that is often overlooked. It is the artist.

As good as SolusOS may be, what on earth would attract you to it if it was ugly? That is perhaps a question to ponder. As much as people may claim that we seek the inner beauty, it is true in most cases.. but first impresssions do count. The first impression of SolusOS is the aesthetic feel. You wouldn’t give it the space on your hard drive to test it, if it looked bad

This is a belated, but well deserved thank you to Blake Angelo, the official SolusOS artist. He designs your backdrops, makes themes work, and his artwork is seen through all of the SolusOS websites (even the logo on this one). I wish to personally extend my thanks to him, for his sheer brilliance in transferring the SolusOS ethos and principles from something as abstract as software principles, to truly beautiful works of art that are the face of SolusOS.

It is my personal hope that other companies will recognise the signifance of Blake’s contributions to a project such as SolusOS, and I wish him the very best in his endeavours. On behalf of every SolusOS user, and the team, I thank you.

New SolusOS Mirrors!

I am very pleased to announce that SolusOS now has more ISO mirroring.

The Georgia Institute of Technology (USA) and NetCologne (Germany) have very kindly decided to mirror the SolusOS ISO’s. This is a big step forward for SolusOS, and having such strong and reliable mirrors can only add to our infrastructure in this time of growth.

I want to thank the community for stepping forward to take the initiative to contact these fine organisations, and to personally thank both of these organisations for mirroring our project. I highly appreciate it

New Spanish SolusOS Subforums

I understand it is somewhat ironic to make this announcement in English..

We now have a Spanish SolusOS subforum which is moderated by Yoyo Fernandez. This has been created so that Spanish-speaking people can also use the SolusOS forums in their native tongue, which takes the burden off of unofficial community websites.

A Dutch and a  German subforum are also due to be created.

You can see the Spanish version of the post here: http://deblinux.wordpress.com/2012/10/25/el-foro-de-solusos-contara-con-soporte-en-espanol/
