[ubuntu-art] Retreat from Ubuntu Artwork

2009-04-01 Thread Thorsten Wilms
Hi!

With the possible exception of some work for The Fridge, I will pull out
of all ubuntu-related artwork!

I'm worried about the move of dumping brown for Karmic and have been
less and less satisfied with the distribution.

I'm preparing to join the Fedora artwork community instead, now that it
seems save to say they will not make another mistake like the artwork
for 7, which was too imaginative and hence distracting from the cold,
hard work we all should be doing.

(see http://pthree.org/2009/02/05/ubuntu-vs-fedora-artwork/)

Sadly they have an elitist approach and don't just let everyone in
before submitting artwork meeting some quality level, but I'm
confident I can make it and look past this silly step.

Too bad I didn't finish my wallpaper collection, but I think I can turn
them all blue for Fedora!

I will miss the short and to-the-point, heart-felt comments we sometimes
got to enjoy here, but I have to move on.


Farewell!

hmm, who dicided the wallpapers in Ubuntu always must have brown-tones. 
Africa is a colourfull country like every country is. :) Orange Icons fits 
well with white, blue, yellow , brown and dark-tones. Fedora is making almost 
all in blue-tones. But the Linux-User would appreciate more a Linux-
Distributor who cover all colour-palettes, so the Themes haves diferent 
colours, too. And with the most Themes the brown-tones don't fit in the easy 
way. I like the Ubuntu-Wallpapers-Artwork, but I never use it ... maybe it's 
because I don't like the colour brown as background.

PS: Thorsten, best wishes and thanks for all what you did right now. It's a 
great pitty that finially nobody can check out the render-script with the 
gthumb-implantation.

Oliver

Goodluck! I know everyone here will miss your critique, your help, your 
ideas (I know I will). You should be able to sail smoothly into making 
fedora beautiful.
