[libreoffice-users] Heads up -- LibreOffice 5.0 is on the horizion

If folks have not been paying attention, there has been sufficient movement
in the project to warrant a 5.0 branding of the next major release. 

> From the  Release plan <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan>  

5.0.0 (freeze: week 21)         Week 16 , Apr 13, 2015 - Apr 19, 2015   Week 31 ,
Jul 27, 2015 - Aug 2, 2015

The development master will be branched to a 5.0.0alpha0 effective next
week.

New to 5.0 will be a true 64-bit Windows build (for Windows >= Vista),
follow other tidbits in the evolving  LibreOffice 5.0 release notes
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.0>  .

What is needed from the community now, are your artistic talents. It is time
for a new motif for 5.0, here is a progression of our StartCenter from 3.3
to current builds of master (pre-5.0).  As can be seen, the color scheme is
a bit stale.

So, break out your graphics packages and draw.  There is a stub for any
proposals in the Design Wiki Whiteboards at:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Whiteboards/5.0_Branding

Hope to see your work there!
