Bodhi Linux Desktop of the Week Contest

Contests and sales are news, I don't see a problem with posting this on LXer. It says 'contest' right in the headline, so it's not trying to be misleading.
If it's FOSS-related, it's good for LXer. Anything a distribution is doing, we should know about it.
If not for the flexibility and beauty of the Enlightenment desktop, we'd still be stuck with square geometries and gray.
FOSS is all about choice. Such contests as this are a big way to demonstrate the power of choice.
(And phooey on responsibility. I can be irresponsible on my GUI desktop, right?)

CB - it was "news" to me...
Yes, it's a Bodhi Linux promotion.
And it's news,
Not very big news, compared to, say, the Bodhi project's resistance to implementing package signing, but still news -- and fun news, yet. And I'm sure that if Ubuntu had a similar announcement, that would receive as much or likely more attention.
Coders might not care, but artists might. And even those of us who are neither might like to just take a peek.

I don't see the problem. It doesn't sound like they're trying to sell anything or get people to pay money to enter, it's just some fun little competition.

It's a Bodhi Linux promotion.
A "contest" in which the "winners" get their screenshots displayed on the Bodhi Linux Web site.
C'mon, Jeff -- we probably ALL have Web sites, blogs, products, services, etc. that we want to advertise and promote -- but, IMHO, it's inappropriate to use a news site like LXer to do it.
