[ubuntu-art] Proposed Submission Location

[Martin Owens]

Our experimental project for helping to develop the workflow of material
design in Ubuntu which has been discussed at UDS this week needs a
location where we can upload content.

To this end I have looked into using our experimental ccHost website for
this purpose and have set up an example entry for the proposed project.
This is NOT yet live and shouldn't be considered to be ready for
submissions. But testing the website should be a good thing.

Even if this is not the website we end up using after our other design
research, this will be a good tool to use for the experimental process.

http://art.ubuntu-owl.org/submit

Things I've done:

 * Created a special project upload location:
http://art.ubuntu-owl.org/submit/launchpadediticon
 * Created a project tag so entries can be tracked:
http://art.ubuntu-owl.org/tags/lpediticon
 * Added the contributors agreement, links and image (see links above)

This and the admin pages should be all we need to upload content for
this experiment, but I'd be happy to hear you're thoughts.

Best Regards, Martin Owens

Re: [ubuntu-art] Open Letter to Ivanka Majic / Canonical Design Team

[Ivanka Majic]

Dear John,

Thank you for you letter which seems to represent an excellent summary 
of the session proceedings from all three sessions we have had at UDS-N.


I, for one, look forward to the agreed tasks taking shape!

Kind regards,

Ivanka

Ivanka,

As a follow up to the UDS-N discussion titled “Reinvigorate the Ubuntu 
Artwork Team” I would like to offer additional comments for your 
consideration.


It is agreed there is risk to embracing a team who has not performed 
well in the past and to the risk they may not perform well in the 
future. However, community is what drives Ubuntu and I believe there 
is a solution which adds value.


Consider for the moment receiving a request to create a new logo for 
the Ubuntu One web site. Accompanying this request are the 
requirements and notes from previous discussions.


In the current paradigm you may assign this task to a Design Team 
member you feel will deliver the best result, or you may offer it to 
the member who has availability, or you may solicit a volunteer who 
expresses interest in doing the work.


Folding the “Artwork Team” into the mix I would consider the following 
paradigm.


1. Take the request and create a specification. The specification 
should have enough detail an artist ( Design Team or Artwork Team ) 
can create submissions for your consideration.


2. Post the meta data to a web site as a task and the specification to 
the wiki. Meta data in this context may include elements like request 
number, description, owner, due date, links, etc.


3. Include as part of the specification the instructions on how to 
offer submissions.


4. Assuming a Ubuntu artwork repository, the site would permit the 
uploading of images and the creation of thumb-nails. In a blog like 
manner users may comment as desired. The site may manage versions or 
it can be assumed the last submission is the most current version.


5. At some point in time you or the business owner may select the best 
candidate, announce the decision to the group, and mark the request as 
complete.


To mitigate the risk an Artwork Team member may not participate or the 
quality of the submissions are in-adequate, plan to engage a Design 
Team member. You are no worst than the current paradigm and as this 
process matures you will find participation and quality become non issues.


Other paradigms such as contests would work the same way.

The result in my opinion is folks will flock to this team to learn, to 
contribute, and to be a part of a winning community.


Design Team members will assume leadership roles expanding 
contributions in ways I can not imagine.


Respectfully,

John Baer
Artwork Team

Re: [ubuntu-art] Artwork Team Logo

[John Baer]

Everyone,

Your logo designs are great.

As there are many changes in play I would like to use the wiki to hold
our submissions for this effort. A page similar to the count down banner
page should do.

I will work on this and have it ready this weekend. 

New designer's - if you will work on your idea's off line I will assist
with the submission process when the wiki page is ready. :) 

Generally accepted formats are "png" & "svg".

Thanks,

John

This is a really excellent start Traz. Welcome to the list which is going
through a bit of a revival at the moment, so its a good time to jump in.

One of the easy ways I have found to simulate the fur texture is by adding a
bunch of nodes and the using extensions>modify path> jitter nodes.
