Hi,
I am calling for image submissions for the "Most Loaded Desktop"
competition.
Deadline: 30 June 2009
You can see previous years winners at this address.

So far I have not received any submissions.
Is it really possible that no one wants to make an attempt at knocking
Tim Orford off his perch as King of the "Most Loaded Desktop"?
Those shots were taken 3 years ago. Surely by now someone has gone a
little further than where Tim was heading back in 2006.
Don't be scared. Take this opportunity to show how far you have come and
the status of your favorite apps.
What about a category for "Most Loaded Netbook"? I'm sure that many
people would find that interesting.

Cheers.

Since it has been almost 3 years since the last competition was run this
time round we should be able to officially retire the current reigning
champion from Tim Orford.
The competition is open to everyone who has the motivation to submit an
image of their desktop running as many audio and multimedia apps as
possible. The winner is selected by page views once the shots are put
live to the competiton page so the sooner you submit the more chance is
that you clicks will add up to the highest total.
The winning receives a prominent spot on the lau guide
http://lau.linuxaudio.org and we may even organise a real physical prize
this time.
The rules are that there are no rules. If you can take screen shots of
the apps that you run on your system and present the final image in a
convincing layout then you will probably be the winner. Last rounds
winner was Tim Orford and he stated clearly that he could not actually
run all the apps he displayed at the same time. Still all the opengl eye
candy looked great and that's what people wanted to see.
There must be a couple of people who could get a 16 or even 32 screen
shot compiled now that several of us have quad core/8GB machines to work
with. I have 8 screens running on my dual core/4GB rig at the moment but
can I can get 16 screens filled with apps if I try?
