Having listened to all of the sound theme submissions (and submitted one
myself), I'm not sure that any one submission is a perfect sound set.  I
think OisinLunny's startup sounds are absolutely wonderful, and really
carry the affect of "light".  I decided to try combining some of the
best sounds from different sets into a new sound set, and here is the
result:

Being based on multiple submissions, this sound theme is truly a
community effort, which is why I gave it the name "CommUnity".  Of
course, the capitalized "Unity" references the Ubuntu desktop interface
by the same name :)

To create this theme, I mixed the following sounds:

  .  Login screen: [email protected]/UbuntuDesktopLoginOisinLunny.wav
  .  User logs in: [email protected]/UbuntuDesktopReadyShortOisinLunny.wav
  .  User logs out: [email protected]/UbuntuEmailOisinLunny.wav
  .  Start new IM (receive): S. Christian Collins/Ubuntu Light IM New 
Conversation 1.wav
  .  Start new IM (send): S. Christian Collins/Ubuntu Light IM New Conversation 
2.wav
  .  Continue IM (receive): S. Christian Collins/Ubuntu Light IM Continued 
Conversation 3.wav
  .  Continue IM (send): S. Christian Collins/Ubuntu Light IM Continued 
Conversation 4.wav
  .  Incoming E-mail: S. Christian Collins/Ubuntu Light Desktop Ready 1.wav
  .  Error: S. Christian Collins/Ubuntu Light Error 1.wav
  .  Notification: BioBiro/3 New Email.wav
  .  Device connected: S. Christian Collins/notification-1.wav
  .  Device disconnected: S. Christian Collins/notification-2.wav

I also made the following modifications:

  .  Trimmed the leading and trailing silence from some of the sounds.
  .  Transposed the sounds from the S. Christian Collins set into a different 
key and change to a brighter EQ to better blend with OisinLunny and BioBiro 
sounds.
  .  Made sure the volume is balanced between sounds.

What do you guys think?  Is this not better than the current Ubuntu
soundset?
