[Qgis-developer] Master branch splash screen

[Albin Blaschka]

Maybe some kind of map done in QGIS as background...? A suggestion for 
an easy solution - Anita, you have some maps from your tutorials/blog, 
for example, like this one from here...

http://anitagraser.com/2013/07/29/vintage-map-design-using-qgis/

or from the flickr group...

Thanks a lot for your efforts!

all the best,
Albin
