[ubuntu-art] Getting ready for Breezy

[Mikkel Kamstrup Erlandsen]

I figured it was time to actually _do_ something instead of discussing
how we should do it. I've attached a sort of bullet point list of what
needs to be done. We have two deadlines.

 - Artwork 2005-09-29
 - Release 2005-10-13

Not everything needs to be ready for the artwork deadline; see my
attached document for details.

I suggest that people simply starts submitting stuff to art.ubuntu.com
for one of the categories I mention. Be sure to notify this list when
you submit something that needs to be logged. It will then be up to
volvoguy (or somebody he delegates) to keep track of the lot.

If we agree on this plan, the wiki needs to be updated ASAP, to explain
how work is being done.

When we hit 2005-09-29 it will be ultimately up to volvoguy how he will
pick the official recommendations of the art team.

What do you guys say?

Cheers
Mikkel

PS: I am working on a background for the younger audience. Will prolly
submit tomorrow.

BEFORE ARTWORK DEADLINE (2005-09-29)
************************************

Wallpapers
=================
Calender:
	The six calender wallpapers should have a 
	common red thread - maybe even a history.

Shipped:
	Three or four _really_ different wallpapers. 
	Not just the ubuntu logo in different layouts.
	Maybe targeting different user groups. Suggested
	types of wallpapers:
		- Children (Colours, cute cartoons. As a last resort we could use one from Edubuntu)
		- Teenagers (Go for cool factor. See fx. http://art.ubuntu.com/images/backgrounds/Ubuntu-UbuntuGlasses_1600x1200.jpg)
		- Abstract (like http://art.ubuntu.com/download/backgrounds/ubuntu/3/swirls.svg)
		- Realistic (a reworked photo or something)


Desktop Theme
=================
Whether or not a whole theme is likely to be accepted for Breezy is
questionable. Maybe we should stick to Andys icons for Breezy. If
we do want to create one we need the following

	 - Metacity Theme (Window borders)
		I suggest Pilgrim 
		(see http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13305)

	- GTK Theme (Controls)
		Engine should be Clearlooks. Tweak gtkrc.

	- Icon Theme
		Humility, Andy Fitzsimon.
		 ? Does he/you want a revision team or help.


GDM Theme
=================
 ? Defer


GNOME Splash
=================
 ? Who did the one for Hoary ?


Forums/Webpages
=================
 ? Should reflect default breezy theme (out of our scope)



BEFORE BREEZY RELEASE (2005-10-13)
**********************************

Flyers
======
Create flyers to hand out at LUG meetings/conferences/with CDs.
There might be two or three different flyers, for different target
audience. Could contain
	- Explanation of the "Free Software Philosophy".
	- What does "Ubuntu" mean.
	- How to use live-cd and installation cd. Thoroughly explain
	  the differences.
	- What software is included in the installation
	- A _really_ short introduction to the GNOME desktop
	- More ?
	

Posters
=======
There are people out there who actually have acces to /&%@??$! printers.
Why don't we take advantage of that and create some real Ubuntu posters?


Website Buttons
=======
Select a few and promote (or suggest) them as the official Ubuntu buttons.
This could do well as a "competition" where the art team declares the winner
and presents it as candidate for official button(s).
