Hello list-mates,

gnokii and I have been talking about the possibility of having a collection of openSUSE-ish wallpapers included in 11.3 gnokii has suggested including wallpapers that have the same type of green as the release name.

Questions: what makes a wallpaper openSUSE-ish? We would have to set some rules in order to accept/reject candidate wallpapers.

My idea is the following... 1. Setting the rules (see above)

2. Announcing it by sending a message to opensuse@o.o, blogging about it, microblogging about it, etc. so that the members of the openSUSE community know about it and may suggest wallpapers too.

2.1.Javier plz dont address only openSUSE community with that! We addressing all interested ppl, maybe we catch on this way new contributors! 2.2. I would it announce with one of the next milstones. We announce every 14 days a new one. When we make an extra call for that it could be that one mask the other

3. Making a list of the candidate wallpapers 4. Creating a poll (doodle?)

I would really polling for that, my favor would be a jury maybe jimmac, coolo and one board member

5. Including those with the most votes in a rpm package. 6. Submitting the package to artwork/wallpapers and then to Factory.

Better but not good. I think we should take this to some place where enough people gather that can submit wallpapers. Means we have to take this where wallpaper artists are. Several places come to my mind: Smashing Magazine - They already have a "contest" for a monthly wallpaper. Maybe they would be interested in collaborating with us on a "openSUSE Wallpaper" contest. They are pretty open source affine. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/tag/wallpapers/ Abuzedo - They have a weekly wallpaper contest. They are less open source affine but more "out there" in relation to art. http://abduzeedo.com/tags/wallpaper Deviantart - They regularly run contests. The only "problem" is see with them is that usually you get a price for winning. So we would need to find something to give. http://www.deviantart.com/ I really think we should tap into one of these communities. Maybe we can even make a permanent thing out of this? Like our own Wallpaper of the month or contest or the default wallpaper (yes i know I'm crazy) or something. The thing is, we can offer them what artists want most: exposure. If we push something in our distribution or onto our desktop you get an instant exposure of 1 million viewers. Thats something most artists will kill for so we can expect nice submissions and then everybody wins right? Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.

Sure henne that should be put on art communitys, but u cant post it there without any posting on our own pages. Where should people looking what are the conditions? I would search them on the pages who make the "contest"

You would let them (Smashing, Abuzedo, Deviant) run the contest. We of course would post something about it too but but the main presentation and all the infrastructure etc. for it would be with them. I would even argue that they would be nice (additional to you guys) judges too. After all these sites need to gain something from this too (traffic). Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.
