General

The ArtTeam is a community of individuals who support the larger community of Ubuntu by contributing themes, icons, background images, and other appropriate submissions of art. The desire of the team is to create and make available high quality art to the Ubuntu community and advocate for and support the creative tools included with Ubuntu.

Guidelines

The following are the basic rules and guidelines that all artwork in Ubuntu must follow.

Licensing

  • All contributions must be covered by an appropriate License agreement such as the Creative Common Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License.

  • Submissions must respect artwork licensing. If your submissions consist of artwork created by other people, please make sure the license of the original work you incorporate is compatible with Ubuntu and that you are not violating any of the provisions of its license. Just because a work is licensed with a Creative Commons license does not mean it is free to use (make sure you provide attribution to artists that license their work with a CC Attribution clause.)

Technical

  • Submissions should be made in formats that can be read by software available from the Ubuntu Repositories. Preferred image formats include XFC, SVG, and PNG. Preferred sound formats include WAV, FLAC and OGG Vorbis. Master files, which may be further edited, should be maintained in non-lossy formats and made available to the community. Preserving vector graphics, raster layers and channels is important for such materials.
  • Use Community Resources. The Artwork Team is supported with resources from the larger community.

Content

Participate

  • All are welcomed, encourage others to join.

  • Participate in the community by joining the mailing list.
