Re: [ubuntu-art] Free Culture Showcase History - was Re: Alternate Natty Wallpaper Proposal
IIRC this years FCS will be focused on an overarching theme of light(?) and ubuntu specific stuff will be turned down. Here is the thing, my proposal for new non photo pool covers stuff that was clearly made for Ubuntu, yet not made because of a request, or a spec. These walls are being made already by enthusiastic members of the larger Ubuntu community, and some are very good and yet they don't seem to have a home. Instead I have to trawl DA for a half an hour and sift through. Giving it a community package allows us : *to get in greater contact with those artists, and hopefully get them onboard for any new spec'd projects. *to engage the wider community. *bring greater amounts of eyeballs on made for ubu walls *bring greater eyeballs to our own spec'd projects *bring convenience to people that are looking for these types of walls *help bring awareness and guidance to using the new branding guidelines I didn't think that this is such a radical proposal as all that. It is simply addressing a need that seems to be present within Ubuntu users for these walls. I certainly did not mean to cause any confusion or disruption, and do profusely apologize if it did occur. --Saleel -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
