    <para>

        as vehicle to distribute its corporate messages.

            This visual manifestation communicates its existence

            through software packages.  There are packages that make a

            remarkable use of images, packages that make a moderate

            use of images, and packages that don't use images at all.

            This visual manifestation is focused on providing &TC;;

            images required by software packages that do use images in

            a remarkable way, specially those holding the upstream

            brand (e.g., <package>anaconda</package>,

            <package>grub</package>, <package>syslinux</package>,

            <package>gdm</package>, <package>kdebase</package>).

            This visual manifestation communicates its existence

            through web applications.  These web applications are free

            software and come from different providers which

            distribute their work with predefined visual styles.

            Frequently, these predefined visual styles have no visual

            relation among themselves and introduce some visual

            contraditions when they all are put together.  Removing

            these visual contraditions is object of work for this

            visual manifestation.

            This visual manifestation communicates its existence

            through production of industrial objects carrying &TCBRAND;.

            These branded objects are directed to be distributed on

            social events and/or shops. They provide a way of

            promotion and commercialization that may help to reduce

            &TC;; expenses (e.g., electrical power, hosting, servers,

            full-time-developers, etc.), in a similar way as donations

            may do.
