 My message is slightly off-topic, but somehow not completely. On the

 vitruvian (for those who do not know, the vitruvian man is a drawing of 
 Leonardo Da Vinci):
 Is the Vitruvian man in the public domain?

Thanks for all of the information. I guess famous old art is
public domain, then, depending on your definitions of famous and
old :)

Cheers,
Dave.

Once you have entered the details, the same page is redisplayed -
it is your preferences page as well. You know you have
successfully created an account when the top right corner says
JoszefMak and not UserPreferences. If you visit other pages
then, you can modify them.

Cheers,

 Hi all,
 
 After a false start, the GIMP Splash Contest is now officially
 open!
 
 The contest runs until next Sunday, Midnight. Splash screens
 should be the same size as jimmac's logo and have a pale band
 across the bottom roughly the same size. Otherwise, knock
 yourselves out!
 
 Competition entries should be attached to the live.gnome.org wiki
 page at http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt_2fGimpSplashContest - you

This has been moved to:

http://www.gimp.org/contest/contest.cgi

Current submissions can be seen at:

[Gimp-user] Judging the splash contest

2004-12-02 Thread David Neary
Hi all,

So thanks to yosh (and carol for having done the contest section
of the site in the first place) we now have the splash contest
back on track.

The next step is to actually judge the contest and pickj the 2.2
splash screen.

There are 3 ways we can go about that.

1) Someone makes a unilateral decision and commits one of the
entries.
2) A small (2 or 3) group of GIMP people decide among themselves
who wins. 
3) A larger group (the GIMP user list, more or less) judges the
contest by sending in their favourite, and the one with the most
votes gets it.

I'd like to do the third one, but we don't have a voting
framework and I think that it would take too long. I prefer the
second method.

So could people who are interested in judging the splash contest
(and having an entry should probably make you inelligible)
contact me, and I will put 3 or 4 of you in contact with each
other? That way, you can just let me know who won next Monday,
and everyone is happy. 

Obviously, if 50 people say they are interested, I will just pick
4 people by some arbitrary method.

Are there any people who disagree with doing it that way?

Cheers,
Dave.

I'd like to add:

submissions, and a larger group votes for them like in option 3).

I would just like to point out that the reason I would prefer to
avoid #3 (and for the same reason #4) is time and infrastructure.
We don't have any technical infrastructure for counting votes,
and say 4 people come up with 10 candidates, we could be voting
for days before we get a result, when we all want the 2.2 release
as quickly as possible - and that could be as soon as the end of
next week.

Cheers,
Dave.

I'd like to be able to vote on the entries too but still leave it to the
gimp developers (ie Sven) to decide from the Top 5 or Top 3.
