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!)
Really really interested about this, I hope some materials will be available for who can't be at oSC.
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.
Ok, thank you for the clarification, until now I saw "to choose" in this discussion.
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
Imo artwork team members and users should prepare the needed images ready to be packaged. Maybe something like this can help a bit to simplify the "concept to package" workflow too: less time and work needed from packaging side, more possibilities from artwork side. Caig
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

Richard
