On the desktop development team we've been working to the theme laid out by Mark some time ago, of light.

OT: Is that video advert of Ubuntu shown at UDS and covered by OMG Ubuntu available in HD somewhere? For Topic: Could it be included in the showcase? Or run as a firt-boot intro or something?

Re: [ubuntu-art] Free Culture Showcase Theme
For Topic: Could it be included in the showcase? Or run as a firt-boot intro or something? I believe that the descision was made at uds that the freeculture showcase was about great art, and not about ubuntu specifically. Iain' s idea of using light as a theme is great in principle. However it may be prone to once again receiving ubuntu specific artwork? -- Saleel -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

However it may be prone to once again receiving ubuntu specific artwork? I don't know, light's a pretty universal theme. If I have a look at my photo collection for example I can see a few pictures where light is a central theme.

Limiting it to light limits who will use it. For my part, I would prefer it be more Xubuntu oriented, but that would not be right either. - -- Charlie Kravetz Linux Registered User Number 425914 [http://counter.li.org/] Never let anyone steal your DREAM.

[ubuntu-art] Free Culture Showcase Theme
Hi! A few of us had a session about the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase at UDS. Wiki page of the previous run: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFreeCultureShowcase While results have been good to great for pictures and music, there has been a dearth of videos plus a tendency of them being focused on Ubuntu. This has been fine, but continuing this way might be seen as navel-gazing and propaganda by a growing and increasingly diverse audience. The showcase assets should wow the audience on their own, based on artistic merit. We would also prefer works created specifically targeting the showcase. For these reasons and because it's cool, we would like to have a common theme for the next round. Ideally one that can be seen as an expression of at least one of the virtues and goals of Free Software and Ubuntu, but that is a little more concrete. Got suggestions? Planned schedule: * Jan 3rd: Announcement, contest open * Feb 14th: contest closed * March 7th: Shortlist Complete * March 21th: Juding Complete We will collect submissions on sites like Flickr, Deviantart and Soundcloud like before and have sub leaders for each community. Ivanka will organise judging by professionals, for neutrality and high standards. This will improve the chances of being taken seriously and of receiving recognition by the outside world. There may be prizes and more attention will be payed to announcing the winners. We intend to do a web button/badge program, but theme and briefing come first. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Free Culture Showcase Theme
Got suggestions? Off the top of my head? Earth. Let me explain: earth as in that which supports humanity (the planet). But also earth as in the soil into which our roots grow. Anyways this might sound terrible when I get up in the morning but I did want to get the discussion rolling on this. I believe one of the ideas discussed at uds was the concept of an ocean. I am just expanding on that. -- Saleel -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
