Greetings Art Team et al: CALL TO ACTION:
As you may recall, Set and I have been coordinating the Xenial Xerus Wallpaper Contest. Voting begins 02/11/16 and concludes 02/15/16 with final results publicized 02/18/16, i.e. Feature Freeze. There are many moving pieces that must be correctly aligned to package and submit the wallpapers before the impending Feature Freeze deadline. I have no experience and little time to get up to speed with Ubuntu packaging, so I request assistance to pre-stage and prepare. Ideally, we can "simply" drop in the documenation and source wallpapers to create a completed .deb package. As I understand it, the 14 pre-existing wallpapers should already be fully documented and sourced. The incoming wallpapers must be documented, sourced and packaged in advance of Feature Freeze. (Please forgive the tight timeframe - inspiration for this effort came upon me without regard to the release schedule.) I believe I am up to documenting the wallpapers if someone can guide me but it would probably be best if I hand the information off to an experienced packager! NOTE: The Art Team must select a default wallpaper! If I may be pre-emptive, I heartily nominate Hotwheel from Li Hua Liu of the Ubuntu-Kylin team. It's hot! It's cool! It's distinctive! It's creative! It's Ubuntu Studio! See for yourself: h t t p s ://flic.kr/p/CMaK5W PROPOSAL: Package all wallpapers that are not selected. This gives all the contributors a "win" and I have seen other *buntus do this. Perhaps something like "UbuntuStudioXXCommunityWallpapers"? HUMBLEBRAG: The Ubuntu 16.04 Free Culture Showcase launched on 12/16/15. At the moment, this group has 26 entries. The Ubuntu Studio 16.04 Wallpaper Contest launched 01/09/16 and has 69 entries as of this writing. The level of user interest in our comparatively obscure Ubuntu derivative suggests that there is a receptive audience. I submit that we can and should find more ways to leverage this interest to raise awareness of Ubuntu Studio. Thank you to Set, Kaj, and all others, named and unnamed, who have helped out with this project! -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
