=== Goals and Objectives === <<BR>>
Line 10: Line 10:
The goal of the "Artwork Team" is to produce artwork for the community side of ubuntu. Mostly, this means the look of the actual distro itself, not promotional or marketing materials. We hope to produce artwork stunning enough that upon first glance, people want to know what Ubuntu is and where to get it. The Ubuntu Artwork team and mailing list serves as a get-together for people who create artwork with and/or for Ubuntu (including the derivatives). Besides great visual design, our interests include the use of Free Software and open processes to get there.
Line 12: Line 12:
=== Joining and Contribution === Development of the default wallpaper, GTK themes, and icon sets for Ubuntu are lead by the Canonical Design Team. Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Mythbuntu, Lubuntu and supported packages are open to contributions in these categories.
Line 14: Line 14:
Instructions on joining the launchpad team and mailing list located here Self:/Documentation/GetInvolved Concepts going beyond visual design into functionality are better handled by the [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ayatana|Ayatana project]].

'''Things to keep in mind'''
 * Be considerate, and constructive
  * If you're about to criticise somebody's work, think carefully about how to do it. You do not want to create a negative atmosphere.
 * Make sure you don't disturb what others have done
 * Keep things in chronological order
 * Look through the pages to see if somebody has done what you've thought of already.
== What we do! ==
Line 23: Line 18:
== Guidelines ==
 1. Only post Ubuntu-related artwork, and keep it ''family friendly''.
 2. Everything contributed must be offered with a '''free license'''. If your artwork has other peoples art in it, make sure that its license is compatible with Ubuntu. ''Please make sure that you have clearly stated a license and your preferred method of attribution. ''
##Do we need an approved list of licenses?
##We suggest [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ CC-SA]. Kwwii needs to talk to lawyers first
##Troy says CC-SA is incompatible with GPL due to scope.

The Ubuntu Artwork team and mailing list serves as a get-together for people who create artwork with and/or for Ubuntu (including the derivatives). Besides great visual design, our interests include the use of Free Software and open processes to get there.

Development of the default wallpaper, GTK themes, and icon sets for Ubuntu are lead by the Canonical Design Team. Xubuntu, Edubuntu, Mythbuntu, Lubuntu and supported packages are open to contributions in these categories.

Concepts going beyond visual design into functionality are better handled by the Ayatana project.
