Wallpaper Contest Guidelines
Hi Andy. Sorry to be late to pick this thread up, but it's needed, I think.
This is an official announcement of the wallpaper contest for openSUSE 12.3.
I'd like to stop you right here. If you call a one-man-action that has not been discussed with the other contributors of the artwork team an "official announcement", there is clearly an issue.
No problem. Please take the contest in your team's hands and run it. It really feels like a one man's show because you have not been part of the conversations taken at the artwork team's chat. I can't help with that. But if you don't like it, I can understand. I called it official mostly because it is the artwork team that runs the contest. If it was not official, then what is?
If it has not been discussed in an official meeting or on the mailinglist it did not happen at all.
I didn't think that there should have been a discussion because I assumed that we could do the contest again like last years'. However, I am seeing that this feels contrary to what the community should have done. Maybe it has to do with the problem of too much discussion. I did not feel the need to "propose" a contest through the mailing list because I generally get comments of "just do it" or "we are talking too much about something that has not happened." I can give you that. Let's agree on something then, should we do the contest? if not, we can call it off and leave it up to the community to decide how to chose artwork for the distribution in a different way. Also, I would like to hear what our team's role should be in general. It really feels like the artwork team cannot do much, or that if we try, others try to cut our wings. I say "ours" because there are other contributors in the team who are also trying to do more for the project as far as artwork goes. Maybe we can ask the board to define the artwork team's tasks and responsibilities. What do you think?
Please point out the logs to the meeting where this has been discussed.
We are the only team that runs a wallpaper contest. If we don't call it official, then who does? If someone else does, I wouldn't have any problems with that. As long as we run a contest where our members can be involved.
You are the one who has run a wallpaper contest. I have clearly stated several times that I only support that kind of contest for supplementary wallpapers and only with clear guidelines (no logo modifications ...)
