Actually, if a company is doing this for themselves we have little control over what they do to it. It has nothing to do with any problems on our side but the natural consequences of the situation at hand.

[ubuntu-art] Current Community Theme and a Good Read
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I just wanted to say that it is a pleasant experience to see interest popping up at the thought of a community theme. On a side note, here is a very good read to anyone interested in art and design from a person who is one of the top in their field. If Mr. Shuttleworth could find the time to read this it might be some wonderful food for thought: http://www.design-emotion.com/2006/04/30/getting-emotional-with-paul-bennett/ A _very_ relevant quotation: [In relation to the standout design of Starbucks and Apple] Secondly, do not be frightened of design ? what both these companies share is an innate sense of using design as a tool for really communicating their values at every possible stage of the consumers ?journey?? through their brand ? the stores, the ads, the packaging, the product, are all designed with equal care and attention.

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.

What is discussed in this thread is a community theme. There has been little community development through the rather... uh... impressive history of Ubuntu art and design, so I wouldn't see why that would change now. Further, it isn't really a concern. 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. It's the nature of the beast. If it is satisfactory, I am pretty sure we can get it into the repositories. That said, at this juncture, no one has worked exceptionally hard on things. Worry about getting something out. Stallman has worked _exceptionally_ hard to get Free Software into the world, and you don't hear him crying foul. Finally, 'exceptional' is a bit of a stretch possibly. How about we get _something_ done by the community as a whole?
