Hi folks - I just noticed that art.ubuntu.com was shut down. I understand the priority of getting the wiki in order and applaud your efforts there. But what's the matter with leaving a place where community people can contribute wallpapers? Those submissions don't necessarily need to be part of the process of selecting what goes on the CD, but people like to create wallpapers, share them, download them, etc and you are effectively turning away people who want to express their enjoyment of Ubuntu through making wallpapers. Not all of the art process is about making the distro, and art.ubuntu.com provides a place where people can contribute wallpapers without getting involved in the more formal process of artwork for a specific release, and we should support both types of contributions. It is also causing confusion internally - the Marketing team is now talking about creating a new site like art.ubuntu.com where people can contribute wallpapers (not as consider this for the default artwork but as in I did this, it's cool, others might like it). My opinion is that by shutting that site to contributions you have closed the door to valuable community contributions and energy. What's the argument against re-opening it?

Hi Jane, I am (was) on of the admins of the AUC. There is no argument against reopening it. The only problem is the admin interface which is kind of a pain to handle (manual thumbnail creation and uploading)... therefore we have lost interest in accepting new submissions (too much time to approve a single one ... especially icons and splashes). There are two options how to bring AUC back to life: 1. to find some people with masochistic tendencies who will accept submissions on the current CMS 2. to find a new CMS and install it... we have found 0 candidates for the first option and the second one requires some time ... so the choice has been made to put AUC to deep deep sleep and postpone its upgrade till post-Edgy (i think). If someone is willing to do some research on alternative CMSs he/she is more than welcome to post the results here on ML i hope that the reason for closing the AUC is now a bit more clear ...

I agree. If I remember correctly, the argument was that art.ubuntu.org was a lesser version of the existing gnome-look project, and a great deal of submissions ended up there. AFAIK AUC is being revamped (by Matthew Nuzum maybe?) The server AUC is on is getting re-organized, but the content won't go away. I spoke with Troy (troy_s) and Pascal (klepas) who are stake-holders on that server. I think the reason the notice is there is because there were too few site-admins handling the queue of incoming art. The site is actually immensely busy with over 5000 page views per day in June. My personal feeling is that while some artists want to help out with specs and themes, some just want to submit wall-paper options and this site is a good artistic outlet. However if no one is available to be admins then redirecting people to gnomelook may be the only option. -- Matthew Nuzum newz2000 on freenode -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

I know we're in a basic-ideas-phase, but as usual I couldn't stop, so these are somewhat advanced. First off is a little wallpaper thing I got together, with strange little soft spotthings (looks like bloodcells sort of) and a reflective ubuntu-logo just for show. http://www.weidel.se/gfx/desk1_withlogo.png And without the logo. It has almost a painted feel. Wanted to keep it organic, a little strange and unique. The original blobs were generated by a filter which i've tweaked. It *is* a bit cluttered, i suppose, but I've found no good solution for that yet, and I'm quite convinced it's a habit thing when using the wallpaper. I have it on my desktop now and will see how it works. http://www.weidel.se/gfx/desk1_nologo.png Here's the textlogo. It's a somber look, not really shiny-gloss. If we want to opt for brighter colours, it could go bright like the previous logo, but it looks real strange with dark browns in those cases. Will try a brighter one later on. http://www.weidel.se/gfx/textlogo.png http://www.weidel.se/gfx/textlogo.psd - photoshop original for your tweaking enjoyment Here's a little fractal wallpaper I've messed with.

Re: [ubuntu-art] art.ubuntu.com
Personally, art.ubuntu.com is nice, but there are many many alternatives out there with vastly better content and system. While I do feel the artsite would have a great place in the community, I also feel that it should be remade from the ground up to really offer unique services since it is ubuntu-only in a way. Considering the earlier posts regarding the CMS, this confirms this. I for one would love to see the submissions in a dedicated artsite like that to become automatically included in some sort of special synaptic-version, so when going into the system settings to change theme one can simply click a button there to see what's available in the sites database seamlessly. Off the point though.Regarding CMS, as Neil said, there is no shortage of great, free CMS-systems. I've been using Joomla for example, which has a lot of plugins that could form a basis for an easy-to-handle artwork site. /weidel2006/7/14, Niel Drummond [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Fri, 14 Jul 2006 16:00:33 +0200Luka Čehovin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: deep sleep and postpone its upgrade till post-Edgy (i think).

Ken, Thanks for thinking of the Marketing Team. Things are really starting to heat up and they/we really needs the your/Art Team's help. I'm not familiar with how the team is organized but I see two general needs. 1. Software designs and images. This would include icons, wallpapers, and the like. Little marketing interaction required here. 2. Commercial art. This would include cartoons, logos, and other product related images. Lots of marketing interaction here. Marketing realizes they can not go this alone and IMO it makes sense to have all of the artwork flow through the Art team. I would encourage you to submit your promotional ideas to the marketing team for their consideration. IMO it makes sense to flow these ideas through the Marketing team. I also encourage all who have the time to tune into the ubuntu magazine IRC on 18 Jul, 20:00 UTC. Once again, thank you.

Thank you immensely for taking the time to document your work jmak! It should go without saying that the works are unfinished -- in fact -- it is far superior to have loose mock ups during a development phase such as this. Let's hope we manage to stimulate some more contributions on the Proposal side. Brief notes: * Chrome look is wonderful. Mouse feels the need to homogenize to the look perhaps? Chrome mouse tweak? Cleave from solid black mouse? Ideas? * Logo version two offers subtle contrasts which help to elevate its appearance. Very appealing. * Logon composition is centre punched. Perhaps work towards a more classical distribution considering the weight of the rendered logon panel. * Is there a way to integrate the lovely chrome look with the wallpaper in some way to create a seamless feel?

[ubuntu-art] PROPOSALS: Wiki Update
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/EdgyProposals/LSplashProposal In the limited time I had today, I tried to offer up a better selection of mockups for the lsplash. I chose the lsplash initially because all of the critical elements are contained within it -- backing texture (TBD), loose logo, loose title, etc. All of these elements should be easy to extrapolate into some version of a logon screen. If someone can find the time, it would be nice to see some viable logon screen mockups submitted. I will attempt to mock up a few sketches based around the current direction. Extreme thanks to Wiedel and Who_ for their work. I did a direct borrow for the compositional mockups. Outstanding issues: * Direction of flow with backing texture. * Over glow of pill / logo / title gloss etc. Niel and Frank are pounding out some Blender samplings and alternatives to the artistic glossy textures. * Complimentary offerings of wallpaper, usplash, logon. * Compositional variants if direction is given. Hopefully someone can build on this. XCF etc avail if need be. I transitioned them into uniformed PNGs simply because I prefer to have identically sized contacts. Anyone finding the time to offer variant proposals, I will try to knock them out with time. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/EdgyProposals/LSplashProposal Good luck and thanks again to all of those out there contributing and helping the cycle development.
