** Description changed: Following on from bug #829213 the wallpapers in Ubuntu come from the - Ubuntu Wallpaper contest: + Ubuntu Wallpaper contest which closes at 15 March 2012 18:00 UTC: - "Precisely how we’re going to make the wallpapers in 12.04 the best ever!" - http://design.canonical.com/2012/01/precisely-how-were-going-to-make-the-wallpapers-in-12-04-the-best-ever/ + "Precisely how we’re going to make the wallpapers in 12.04 the best ever!" + http://design.canonical.com/2012/01/precisely-how-were-going-to-make-the-wallpapers-in-12-04-the-best-ever/ - "Precise Pangolin wallpaper submissions group" - http://www.flickr.com/groups/1860176@N24/ + "Precise Pangolin wallpaper submissions group" + http://www.flickr.com/groups/1860176@N24/ There are over 1700 entries so far! The previous winners will get that down to a shortlist of ~30 entries. There are generally two types of image, most are photographic (JPGs) with a small number of non photographic, drawn images (PNGs). Then this needs to happen: - 1. Publish the list of winning entries on design.canonical.com - 2. All images are must be CC-BY-SA which is a criteria for inclusion and this is a stated requirement of submission. Contributors have been asked to update the relevant metadata on Flickr - 3. Scale all the images to the same 2000px width and corresponding height to maintain aspect ratio. If in doubt this should be done from the centre. - 4. I understand that compression is managed when it's packaged so if it's oversize we can recompress/ reduce the number of images. For reference our current wallpapers are around 2.5MB and we anticipate this will be about the same size. - 5. Upload to the archive (main) for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS + 1.
