Hi Trey. tell me how can i help whit any project at all? i'm new user of ubuntu and from start till now, just got some translated jobs But interested to find out how to make art or kind of whit this OS. first of all what is the program what people use to make artworks here? is it this gimp what is from my point of view just good as photoshop or paint shop-pro. litte confused first but new things are almost everytime. i want to be a part artworkers, and help. maybe i have some skills to do so but... if you please Let me know or email to me idea's, how can do something. Cheers -)@n| H- 2010/3/5 Trey Ethridge tethri...@gmail.com Hello all, I haven't received a response from anyone that would like to help out with this project. I feel that this is a great opportunity for someone that is looking to expand their portfolio. These are cycling jersey's that have the approval of the marketing team at Canonical. There are several Canonical employees that plan to purchase these jersey's. If I don't get any help from the community, I'm going to have to raise money and hire a professional artist. If you have an interest in this project, please let me know. Thank you, Trey On Thu, Feb 11, 2010 at 10:50 AM, Trey Ethridge tethri...@gmail.comwrote: Hello all! I'm riding in two charity bike rides this year. One is for Multiple Sclerosis and the other is for Diabetes. I've requested and received permission from Canonical to create custom jerseys for use on these rides. My team is going to be called Team Ubuntu. This is a chance for the community to show that we can roll with the best jerseys that we often see for companies like Microsoft, Red Hat, Cisco, and Nortel. I'm am hoping that we can use some Ubuntu culture for the theme of the jersey. Ubuntu has a unique mascot for each release. My thought was that we would design a jersey that incorporated the mascots of our releases. The style of the Hardy Heron wallpaper was pretty popular and would probably look good on jerseys. Here is a link to the wall paper I'm referring to: http://images.google.com/images?q=hardy+heron+wallpaper The jersey could include the current supported releases or we could try to incorporate them all. The jersey isn't limited to a predefined set of colors, so we really have a lot of leeway in our design. Here is the list of mascots so you don't have to look them up: Lucid Lynx Karmic Koala Jaunty Jackalope Intrepid Ibex Hardy Heron Dapper Drake Gutsy Gibbon Feisty Fawn Edgy Eft Breezy Badger Hoary Hedgehog Warty Warthog I realize that there is a wiki page for Ubuntu Jerseys, but I feel that we want to push the boundaries more than these designs. The jerseys appear to be limited by the number of colors that they can contain due to manufacturing limits. Plus, they appear to just reuse a lot of logos and I'm hoping for something new and exciting. Here is a link to some designs that another cycling team in the Multiple Sclerosis ride received when they placed a bid on the crowdspring.comdesign site. http://www.crowdspring.com/project/1283223_cycling-jersey-logo-vin/ Check out the Ubuntu jerseys here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCyclists I've picked out a company to print our jerseys. They require that the design be in the SVG format. Here is a link to the templates that they recommend using when designing. Jersey template: http://champ-sys.com/media/SS%20Raglan%20Without%20Side%20Panel.pdf Shorts template: http://champ-sys.com/media/FullWrap%20U%20Panel%20MBI040.pdf They have some notes about the black areas of the templates. The black area can be one of seven pre-dyed colors. I recommend checking out the notes on the page. http://champ-sys.com/custom/cycling/formsandtemplates The Diabetes ride is in June and the Multiple Sclerosis ride is in September. The manufacturing process takes 6 to 8 weeks, so we have some time to design. I look forward to hearing from the group. This is an exciting opportunity for your artwork to be seen by thousands of participants in these events. Please let me know if you have questions or need additional information.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Ubuntu Jersey's
Anyone that wants a jersey can get one. I've sent an email to the Ubuntu Cyclists group letting them know about the jerseys. There has been a lot of interest so far. I'm not trying to make a profit on the jerseys, so if you would like one I can order you one and have it sent to you. You would just have to pay for the jersey and shipping. If you can group requests together to make my job easier, then that would be good. I think the jerseys are going to run about $45 a piece (need to confirm). I believe that I have good contacts at Canonical. I'm just giving them some time. I know they are busy.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Ubuntu Jersey's
My plan was to order them, then ship them out to the various destinations. The grouping I had in mind was in cases where several people from a LUG wanted the jerseys. Then I could just ship one box for the group and they could see that the jerseys get to the rightful owners. At this point, I have less than 20 jerseys requested. It will be a little work, but not too bad. There are several groups of 3 included in that figure. Trey On Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 4:56 PM, Dea Million d...@deamillion.com wrote: That's great.

I was also trying to think of something cool to put on the collar. I was thinking of something like, humanity towards others. I don't know if that is too cheesy to put on the collar though. Maybe you all can come up with something. I don't think it's cheesy at all. Good idea. Done. http://homepage.mac.com/deazigns/bike-jersey-5.png I would recommend that a final decision be made soon.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Ubuntu Jersey's
I like the white on the back better. It seems to pop out more. I know that you removed the Lucid Lynx 10.04, but now it seems like something is needed to balance the image on the back. Since we are already linking the jersey to the 10.04 release with the lynx, does it matter if we have the text on there? Maybe something else would be better to fill the void on the left side, I don't know. I was also trying to think of something cool to put on the collar. I was thinking of something like, humanity towards others. I don't know if that is too cheesy to put on the collar though. Maybe you all can come up with something. Thorsten, the images of cyclists do show some wrinkles, but for the most part the text is readable. I'm not sure if that is what you meant by your email. I agree that you will have some wrinkles. :-) Trey -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Re: [ubuntu-art] Ubuntu Jersey's
Hello Dea, That's fine. If you want to just use the Lynx, then that's fine too. I think Canonical would approve of you doing your best to match the colors and designs if we don't get the official SVG images in time. We are under a deadline. :-) I appreciate your help!

My work tends to be more minimalistic and I think it would be best to use just one or two mascots. I'm thinking the first (warthog) and the latest (lynx). Any thoughts? Also, as soon as I receive the official colors and logo, I'll update my design and send it off. However, if it doesn't get to me by the end of this month, I think we'll have to fake it and go with the closest match I can come up with. Would this be acceptable with Canonical? Thanks.

I have no money for this project. If I can't get some help from the community, then I'm going to need to try and get Canonical to contribute or factor the design of the jerseys into the price, which are already pretty expensive. I'm doing this for charity. I'm hoping that somebody in the community will contribute to help spread the Ubuntu message. :-) It's a good thing nobody has been on this, because we only now know of the new logo and look for Ubuntu. The definite colors are not even defined/public, there's no vector file of the outlines available. I agree. I'm glad that this design hasn't been started yet.

But would you really want to tie the jerseys to a specific release? You should open your mind to simple and abstract designs, it needs to work even though *woosh* ... there goes the cyclist. I'm cool with having the jersey linked to a release. It's an LTS, so it will be valid for several years. By the time it is no longer supported, I'm hoping that we would have new jerseys. Plus, it's a lynx! I'm also fine with abstract designs. I'm open to all ideas. I just gave the example of the mascots as an idea. I would just like more than the Ubuntu jerseys on the wiki page I reference. I've picked out a company to print our jerseys. They require that the design be in the SVG format. Here is a link to the templates that they recommend using when designing. Strange. I read Illustrator or Corel Draw format. I may be wrong about SVG, but that is basically what Illustrator produces. They require their own logo to be on the artwork. Nasty. I agree. I would prefer to not have their logo on there, but they have the best rates for small batches. It is pretty hard to get people to shell out $100 for jerseys. The less I have to sell the better. If we have more demand, we can print them. Thanks for the feed back.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Ubuntu Jersey's
I can follow up with them to see if they will accept standard SVG files. The first ride is June 5th. They require 6 to 8 weeks to deliver. Eight weeks from June 5th is around the 11th of April. I would like to have the design done by the beginning of April if I had to set a reasonably comfortable deadline. The more time we have the better. I'll still need to sell enough of the jersey's to do the minimum order. I'm sure a lot of people would want to see the jersey before they agree to buy one.

Hi Trey, Do you have enough help for your shirt design or are you just lloking for ideas now? TAG Trey Ethridge wrote: Hello all! I'm riding in two charity bike rides this year. One is for Multiple Sclerosis and the other is for Diabetes. I've requested and received permission from Canonical to create custom jerseys for use on these rides. My team is going to be called Team Ubuntu. This is a chance for the community to show that we can roll with the best jerseys that we often see for companies like Microsoft, Red Hat, Cisco, and Nortel. I'm am hoping that we can use some Ubuntu culture for the theme of the jersey. Ubuntu has a unique mascot for each release. My thought was that we would design a jersey that incorporated the mascots of our releases. The style of the Hardy Heron wallpaper was pretty popular and would probably look good on jerseys.
