Flavours Of Ubuntu

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.

What we do!

	Answer requests from the community
- Logos and other graphic design for related projects.
- Web design for related sites.
- Marketing material made to specification (poster, banners, fliers, brochures, stickers, shirts).
- Illustrations for presentations and guides.
	Create and make available artwork such as wallpapers, themes, icons, posters and brochures.
	Discuss and advocate art and design related Free Software and open processes.
	Participation in upstream open source projects.
	Develop and maintain documentation (here on the wiki)
	Provide resources (tutorials, art assets, advice) and encouragement for the use of the FOSS creative tools.

Why contribute?

	Create work that is valuable to others and answers real-world needs but avoid the hassles of commercial work. Add to your portfolio.
	Gain experience, hone your skills.
	Become recognized as contributing artist or designer.
	Do your part to move the Ubuntu project forward.
	Add beauty and sophistication to the world.

-## Etiquette page
##'''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.

-== Guidelines ==
 1. Only post Ubuntu related artwork, and keep it '''Family Friendly'''.
 2. Everything contributed must be offered with a '''free license'''. If your submission also contains another's work, 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.

 * If you have a complete concept that is meant to be developed outside of the regular release cycle, such as Blubuntu--please use the form in [[/Incoming]]. Keep it clear and simple.
## * Simple wallpapers and themes Ubuntu-specific can be submitted to [http://ubuntu-art.org Ubuntu-Art.org], a sister site of the -look.org and -file.org websites.
