<br>L O W L A N D S - L - 05 January 2007 - Volume 04<br>======================================================================<br><br>From: R. F. Hahn <<a href="mailto:sassisch@yahoo.com">sassisch@yahoo.com</a>><br>
Subject: Website<br><br>Hello, dear Lowlanders!<br><br>First of all, merry Christmas to our Eastern Orthodox fellow Lowlanders!<br><br>Which reminds me ... Our anniversary site (<a href="http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/">
http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/</a>), which enjoys quite a bit of popularity out there, still doesn't have sound files for Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Greek, Armenian, Georgian, Hungarian, Estonian ... and we could do with translations into Rusyn (Ruthenian), Macedonian, Romanian, Arumanian, Albanian, Aramaic, Syriac ... and, back to the Lowlands, English of Ukrainian-dominated Canadian towns, etc.
<br><br>There's practically no limit here. If you can't help by translating and narrating, please consider recruiting others. Please send anything to me.<br><br>Talking about websites ... we (the Team) are considering revamping our main website (
<a href="http://www.lowlands-l.net/">http://www.lowlands-l.net/</a>) to make its look harmonize with that of the anniversary site. We need suitable pictures and have decided to have a competition amongst Lowlands-L members and their associates. So here's a chance for you photographs and artists out there.
<br><br>We need one picture or a collage of no more than three pictures for the top panel. These must be suitable for insertion into the panel which has the dimensions of 820 x 120 pixels, 11.389 x 1.667", or 28.93 x
4.93 cm (at 76 dpi). (Please see the anniversary page to get an idea: <a href="http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/">http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/</a> .)<br><br>We need one suitable picture each for the welcoming pages (
<a href="http://www.lowlands-l.net/languages.php">http://www.lowlands-l.net/languages.php</a>).<br><br>There should be no copyright conflicts. So we need permission from you if your pictures are chosen or from the person from whom you acquire pictures.
<br><br>Rural scenes, windmills etc. are fine. But please bear in mind that the Lowlands as we know them are more diverse than that and are not necessarily stuck in history either. The real challenge is to come up with a single picture that pretty much covers or represents it all, alternatively a collage of no more than three pictures. To give you an idea let me throw out there the possibility of Lowlands-specific landscapes or historic buildings or costumes contrasting with something representing the 21st century within the same picture. Please also bear in mind that the Lowlands include places like Australia, New Zealand and Southern Africa.
<br><br>For the welcoming pages in various languages (<a href="http://www.lowlands-l.net/languages.php">http://www.lowlands-l.net/languages.php</a>) we need one or two pictures each that represent the places and communities -- again hopefully not tired old stereotypes but stuff that "pops" a bit.
<br><br>Please send your pictures to <a href="mailto:lowlands.list@gmail.com">lowlands.list@gmail.com</a> under the subject header "LL-L Pictures". If they are very large (and thus gobble up a lot of memory), please send us small versions first, and we will ask for larger versions if we select them for this or later projects. Please also let us know about the permission part and whether or not we are allowed to publish credits.
<br><br>Thanks, Lowlanders!<br><br>Regards,<br>Reinhard/Ron<br>
