Countdown

From openSUSE

You can help spreading new release of openSUSE by adding these fabulous countdown timers created by Billy Juliani and Jakub "jimmac" Steiner to your website.

Links point to openSUSE 11.2 right now, which contains list of killer features of openSUSE 11.2 and information for community how to test beta releases.

Introduction

The pictures are statically generated on the counter.opensuse.org server by a cron job, updated at 12:00 CET, using a Python+PIL script. This approach optimizes the performance on the server and also enables Apache to serve HTTP cache-control headers properly.

It is translated in many languages (english, german, czech, french, danish, russian, polish, dutch, finnish, spanish, italian, greek, swedish, croatian, norwegian, portuguese, hungarian, romanian) and is automatically displayed in the language configured in the visitor's preferred language(s), with the same URL.

The artwork is by Jakub "jimmac" Steiner and the font is DejaVu Sans.

Just copy and paste the code under the picture into your webpage:
