[ubuntu-art] Hello everyone!
Ubuntu Artwork Team, Hey everyone! I've come to introduce myself. My name is T.J. Barber, and I am a Christian, web designer, budding artist, photographer, music lover, and Linux user since 2005. I first used Ubuntu in 2007, and I really believe that it's the Linux of the future (not including Android). I think I've used every version of Ubuntu since 7.10. I have Ubuntu 11.10 on both my desktop and laptop. I've also been inspired by the beautiful work of PIXAR Animation Studios, their spirit of creativity, and the way they convey emotion by using a math-crunching computer. But in the end it's the best art I've ever seen, and the only art I really can laugh or cry with. I've always been touched by that, and it's something I aspire to. Though I may never make someone cry with a photo, I know I can make them laugh or just make their day better overall. And I also see Apple doing a similar thing, but the freedom loving side of me comes out when using Apple hardware and software. Another thing that affects me deeply is community, and though you do have a community of Apple fanboys they're not creating and supporting together in the way Ubuntu does (I love Jono Bacon's book *The Art of Community, *if you couldn't tell!). Sorry to go long, but I really love both art and Ubuntu and want to see these loves merged. I'd really like to be part of the Ubuntu Art Team. I enjoy taking photos and I'm working on learning Inkscape. There's a lot to learn about graphic design, and even more to explore with photography. Hope to talk to you all soon! I'm on Launchpad ( https://launchpad.net/~tjbarber09) and Twitter ( http://www.twitter.com/tjbarber09). =) -- -- God bless! T.J.

[ubuntu-art] Hello, everyone!
Hello, members of the Ubuntu Art community. My name's Steven. I'm an artist (i've been drawing for most of my life), and i am rather knowledgeable when it comes to computers. Ubuntu has held my interest for quite some time, and i've been using it off and on for around 3 years now, and ever since i started doing so, I've wanted to help develop it. I don't have much experience in photoshop or graphic design, but i'm willing and excited to learn more about doing so. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Re: [ubuntu-art] Hello, everyone!

Also it would be really great if you could find some time and fill out this survey: -- http://design.canonical.com/2010/12/surveying-contributions/ Saleel -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

No, you are not. :-) Even welcoming new members and directing them in the right direction makes you part of the team, no need to consider yourself as inactive. :-) We do *not* have a designated greeter[and probably never will ;) ], and we really cant expect one person to be alert/active everyday of the year to welcome new members. When new members take the time to announce their presence, it would be nice if _anyone_ can just say 'Hi and welcome' and answering any questions they might have. Do not be afraid to answer, just answer questions to the best of your knowledge. Incase the info is not perfect, others who know more will just reply with more info. -- Cheers, Vish -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

It's nice work :-) I like the two tone version and the colour one only needs features I think. You don't even have to go all that detailed, the images for ibex were great because of their simplicity. Yea stuff like this is hard right now because we do it ad-hock. If youd had said you were doing it on a website that emailed you and pestered you about it, then you'd be on hook ;-) Martin, -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Anyway, wallpapers (photos and drawings!) should be added to http://www.flickr.com/groups/ubuntu-artwork Themes and related stuff should be documented in the Incoming section of the release they are targeted at. Next will be https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Maverick use the Create New Concept Page button.
