I'm working on two posters...
I'm thinking for an "artistic" poster on the UNIX landscape in the
21st centry that we'd like to feature all the operating systems that
support for the UNIX or POSIX api sets regardless of whether they are
certified. This would include references to commercial certified
UNIX systems, Linux, BSD and relations, Windows etc.
These form part of todays landscape.
Such an artistic poster would be a puzzle, whereby an image would be a
metaphor for something in todays landscape rather than a direct product
placement , i think we need about 30 such images to make the poster
interesting, the original Overacre series had images of boots, pipes,
shells, etc. I'm looking for ideas for today, for example a colony of
penguins, a house with windows and gates , some windows open with perhaps
an image to refer to some open tools such as cygwin, or to a firefox,
thunderbird etc, a spiders web for the world wide web... etc
The poster of the Single UNIX Specification history is
tied more to the specification and activities directly related.
regards
Andrew
