Firstly, thank you to everybody for the assistance with this specification. It is great to see the involvement. Xubuntu would like to change the perception of only being for old and slow computers to being excellent for any hardware. According to the Xubuntu Strategy Document, it should perform well on any hardware. It should require and use fewer resources than Ubuntu, and is built with the Xfce desktop environment. Traditionally, it has used shades of blue and the Xfce mascot, a mouse, to represent itself. As I have explained to Thorsten and Saleel, I am not artistically inclined. I know the concept I would like to present, but don't know how to describe it as artwork. I tried to generate interest for Maverick, it was not a good approach. There were questions and comments about the license. It seems the wording is too ambiguous. One of the questions raised was "what Creative Commons license must submissions adhere to?". Can we define that better? I like the pallette presented in the spec. A point to keep in mind is that Xubuntu normally has used the same scene for the wallpaper and the GDM background. I am hoping this team knows the dimensions and wording better than I do. I do not believe the wording : "The desired result will be an image which embraces the "light" Ubuntu design concept and displays well on a variety of hardware environments." applies to Xubuntu. While the "light" Ubuntu design concept is great for Ubuntu, I don't know how to apply it to this project. We would prefer a more defined image, instead of the concept image. Although, the image does have to display well on new and old hardware. Xubuntu is still used on CRT monitors in some areas of the world. Okay, I probably raised more questions than answers with this, so I will stop and let those with questions ask. I will attempt to answer as best I can.
