Re: [ubuntu-art] Current Community Theme and a Good Read
Another point to maybe mention, since it has been leaked that Dell will be using Ubuntu on new PC`s sold will there still be the same community involvement? Or will lit purely be a Conical effort? I don't want to see everyone working exceptionally hard and then it not making the cut even though the final product will have an exceptional look and feel.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Community Theme
I think this is a wonderful idea, if executed right it may be a good way of getting the community artwork back into the main spot light of a release.. I'll definitely be giving this one alot of thought:) Simon On Mon, 2007-04-30 at 23:43 +0800, nothlit wrote: > I read the proposal of a community theme that all of us can contribute > to, > ( https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2007-April/003858.html ) and I > think its a good idea.
