After the discussion in April (see: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-artwork/2013-04/msg00013.html ) I was under the impression that we were NOT changing the core/default artwork/wallpaper for openSUSE 13.1 As the only active packager for the branding packages at the moment, I certainly don't have the time to commit to a major reworking, and James highlighted a number of areas which we require improvement, all of which I'd much rather be spending my time on rather than the rather significant amount of work that is required to take a wallpaper and make it usable in the dozen locations we currently use it (I'm planning on doing a workshop on this complex packaging process at oSC 13 if any of you would like to come!) Another area I really want to expend my time on for this release is finally getting an 'Community Wallpaper' package put together My intention is to package up as many of the wallpapers submitted for 13.1 as possible, and therefore have them available for installation in openSUSE 13.1
From an artistic perspective there is no 'choosing' involved - I'm not going to make any judgement on whether or not the designs are artistically 'good' or not.
However, I'm only going to be able to package designs in the relevant
file formats and aspect ratios that we actually use in the
distribution - so as long as they're in a PNG or SVG format and
available in 'HD or higher' 16:9, 16:10, 5:4 and 4:3 aspect ratios,
they're in ...and if they're not, I'll do my best with any time I have
left over to resize/reformat the designs to make them work, but it's
possible they might end up being cut for time, as mine is limited
I hope that clears things up, and thank you for all the great
submissions so far, I'm really looking forward to getting them all in
the distribution so we can showcase what a great artwork community we
have

Why packaging members are choosing the wallpapers?
+1 if you need a building project you ask an architect, if you need a diagnosis and therapy you ask a physician, etc
This shouldn't be in group involving artwork-team at least?
Did I miss something?
I missed that too.
If there is/was a "getting work done" issue, if there is/was a "team organization and workflow" issue, if there is/was other issues, to take away the responsibility can't be the solution imo, particularly in the long time.
Please forgive the external opinion :)
