<> ||<>|| == 9.10 Karmic Koala == Here you can post your artwork submissions and concepts for the next Ubuntu release, nicknamed Karmic Koala. New to Karmic is the ability to create Ubuntu-themed [[branding]] for particular programs, such as the card backs on solitaire. If you have a branding submission, you can post it here as well. Submissions in this cycle: <> == Submit == Read the [[Artwork/Incoming/SubmissionGuidelines|Submission Guidelines]] before submitting your page. Don't create new pages for backgrounds/wallpapers, add them to [[/Backgrounds|Backgrounds]] instead. Choose a short but meaningful name that starts with an uppercase letter. Don't use spaces in the name; use so called [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCase|CamelCase]] or underscores instead. <> == Following what's going on here == To subscribe to all updates, go to your [[UserPreferences|User Preferences]] and add '''Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/.*''' to the "Subscribed wiki pages (one regex per line)" input box and save. == Notes from the Karmic Koala Introduction == [[https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2009-February/000536.html|Mark Shuttleworth introducing Karmic Koala]] The planned features and goals can and should serve as guidance and inspiration for artwork, especially for backgrounds. On the server: * Cloud computing, making it easy for anybody to * setup their own cloud using entirely open tools * to deploy applications into the cloud, with ready-to-run appliances or by quickly assembling a custom image. * Featuring the [[http://eucalyptus.cs.ucsb.edu/|Eucalyptus project]] * Dynamically growing and shrinking resource allocations depending on your needs. * Conserving energy. On the desktop: * A fast, flicker-free and beautiful boot process. * Possibly a new login experience that complements the graphical boot, and works well for small groups as well as very large installations. (This quite likely refers to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/GdmFaceBrowser) * A serious push for a new look from Canonical's design team. * "Brown has served us well" but other options will be considered for Karmic Koala. ---- CategoryArtwork
