Countdown to Fedora 9

Update: to get the SVG rendered correctly, you need the MgOpen Data font (is a free font, available with a yum install mgopen-fonts in Fedora).

With the schedule still on track to release on 29 April and with the general intention to stick with it, this is the time to start counting down to Fedora 9 "Sulphur":

Waiting for this counter to get on the front page (hopefully with an easily embeddable widget for anyone to use), you may want to run your own. If so, here is a tarball with pre-rendered images for 30 days in advance. It is English only, but the source SVG is included to ease translations.

If you want to script the PNG creation from the base SVG (with Inkscape and command line arguments), replace the text with the 'counter-text' id. If you want to to it from Inkscape, just change the black text outside of the canvas (the effects are made with clones).

If you want help with creating translated graphics, ask me (but don't abuse) but for scripting the inclusion on your pages don't count on me (but share with me the solution you'll find).

Update: to get the SVG rendered correctly, you need the MgOpen Data font (is a free font, available with a yum install mgopen-fonts in Fedora).

Update: Here is a JavaScript provided by Paolo Leoni (just change the paths according with your setup):

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<a href="http://fedoraproject.org/"><img src="path_to/fedora9-countdown-'+days+'.png" border="0" /></a>');
if (days < 0) {
document.write('<a href="http://fedoraproject.org/"><img src="path_to/fedora9-countdown-0.png" border="0" /></a>');
}
</script><a href="http://fedoraproject.org/"><img src="path_to/fedora9-countdown-25.png" border="0"></a>

Update: Now the counter is runnung on the Fedora's main site along with an embeddable js.
