"Fun", "fast", "wild", and many more come to mind, maybe this should be on the

It would be nice if you could add a high-res version of
http://picasaweb.google.com/jblackhall/EasterNatureWalk#5323909486841271794
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Backgrounds, with a
CC-BY or CC-BY-SA license.
It might make a decent background as is, could be colored in many ways
or be used to add a bit of texture to a digital painting.

Something between

http://picasaweb.google.com/jblackhall/EasterNatureWalk#5323910421420622354

Add it to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Backgrounds
Please ask back if the guide there isn't sufficient.

But note that Kenneth spoke of organizing the backgrounds according to a
predefined set of adjective, which is not in place, yet.

Nice! Especially the koala. ^^
Currently, I'm using wallpapers from these wallpaper sets :
http://troy-sobotka.blogspot.com/2008/11/gift-from-me-to-you.html
http://troy-sobotka.blogspot.com/2008/12/happy-holiday-gift-set.html
I like the red and orange colors that remind of the ubuntu colors, but with
more "nature" colors like green. :)
I don't know if they follow the guidelines for inclusion, though...

Oops, one other thought while I'm here!

It could be possible to get a wider community of artists
(particularly ...err, "pros," for lack of a better word) on board if
they can sign their work. The work still gets a CC or some such license,
but serves as assured publicity for them since the signature is more
than just metadata. I have a hunch that, done tastefully, it could even
look pretty darn cool. For example, if said signature is actually an
authentic looking handwritten signature.

I uploaded a quick example here with my own horrible signature on it:
http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/195/wallpapersigned.jpg

In that example I used a web site URL beneath the signature, since of
course my feeble signature alone does little for publicity. Realized
fairly quickly that it could look kind of ugly (like we're trying to
sell something, or pulled it without permission from the site), so using
a more natural line of text such as a printed name (or just having the
signature alone!) may be a better choice. Less likely to change, too.

So there's another idea for the basket!

Awesome! Pinch me if I don't submit photos :)
Nice timing, too; this is the release that has sunny weather in its
development cycle!

I think it would really be fitting for Ubuntu to have, as one of its
"themes," a geographically diverse collection of photos to showcase its
international, borderless aspect. That's probably fairly obvious, but I
think it's important to avoid the touristy kind of diverse, like
pictures of big landmarks that one may take on a vacation. It would be
better to have pictures taken from the perspectives of people who /live/
in different places. Hopefully I haven't spoken absolute nonsense, and
hopefully something kind of distinctive could emerge :)

For the time being, I suggest having size guidelines in place and highly
Visible so people don't take awesome pictures but scale them to 800x600
or anything. (/me glares at Mark's space pictures :P)

Oh, and good move to adopt photography for wallpapers. Having a good
photo, even one with a single colour (I love Mars pictures) really
breathes a lot of life into the visuals without the eye-straining horror
that stems from a busy GTK theme, for example.
Any hints if something like that will be in the default install, or is
it going to be strictly an optional package?

Bye,
Dylan McCall

PS: Also with the thought of having more downloadable visual fun stuff
in the repositories, it would be nice to see extra themes and wallpapers
get a home in gnome-app-install. ...Maybe with their own category?

I have a full colour version of the image located here:
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Daisy+Daisy..+Give+me+your+answer+do?content=46757

Is this the sort of image you're looking for?

How would I submit it for consideration?

Hi
This is great news Kenneth.
As you might remember I posted a small collection of photos titled the
"Ubuntu Wallpaper Photo Pack”
(http://anotherubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/04/ubuntu-wallpaper-photo-pack.html)
and I would love to see the “extra wallpaper package” (as you call it)
land with success in 9.10.
For some quality submissions, I think we should inform Ubuntu
Photographers about this.
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-photographers

Where should photo submissions for the “extra” package be uploaded?

[ubuntu-art] extra wallpaper package for Karmic

[Kenneth Wimer]

Other operating systems offer an extra selection of desktop backgrounds to 
their users. Often they are based on different "themes" typically applied to 
photography (nature, for instance).

For Karmic we would like to include a set of high quality desktop backgrounds 
which are organized according to a predefined set of adjectives which describe 
emotional atmospheres, slogans (so to speak) for the way an image makes you 
feel.

In order to accomplish this we call on anyone and everyone to submit images 
which are freely licensed and follow the guidelines for inclusion.

Let me know if you have any ideas for improving this idea, or if you'd like to 
help coordinate things, etc.

Thanks,
Ken
