Often they are based on different themes typically applied to photography (nature, for instance). For Karmic we would like to include a set of high quality desktop backgrounds which are organized according to a predefined set of adjectives which describe emotional atmospheres, slogans (so to speak) for the way an image makes you feel. In order to accomplish this we call on anyone and everyone to submit images which are freely licensed and follow the guidelines for inclusion. Let me know if you have any ideas for improving this idea, or if you'd like to help coordinate things, etc. Thanks, Ken Hi This is great news Kenneth. As you might remember I posted a small collection of photos titled the Ubuntu Wallpaper Photo Pack” ( http://anotherubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/04/ubuntu-wallpaper-photo-pack.html ) and I would love to see the “extra wallpaper package” (as you call it) land with success in 9.10. For some quality submissions, I think we should inform Ubuntu Photographers about this. https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-photographershttps://launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-photographers http://www.flickr.com/groups/686...@n20/ Where should photo submissions for the “extra” package be uploaded? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Backgrounds Best regards Mads Rosendahl (MadsRH)https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art Nice! Especially the koala. ^^ Currently, I'm using wallpapers from these wallpaper sets : http://troy-sobotka.blogspot.com/2008/11/gift-from-me-to-you.html http://troy-sobotka.blogspot.com/2008/12/happy-holiday-gift-set.html I like the red and orange colors that remind of the ubuntu colors, but with more nature colors like green. :) I don't know if they follow the guidelines for inclusion, though...
