Honestly, I feel like the addition of an official Ubuntu Studio forum (preferably separate from the messiness of the ubuntu forums) would be the most efficient way to encourage involvement. The wiki's are great ways to display user contributed artwork and such, but in my opinion, it acts as more of a gallery rather than a station for discussion and further development.<br>
<br>Forums are quick to set up, free, and easy to maintain. I can see our forum separated into different categories such as Development, Bugs, Troubleshooting etc. However, in regards to art, the forum should be divided into several subforums:<br>
<br>-Logo Design<br>-Theme/Icon Design<br>-Website Design/Improvements<br><br>Moderators will also stick threads that they feel are becoming popular, or increasingly productive. This kind of structure will allow artists to not only upload their work quickly and effectively, but also pass their work through a medium that offers a community of critics.<br>
<br>Forgive me if I sound intrusive, but I envision the future of Ubuntu Studio as being a well-respected linux distro focused on multimedia creation. A distro that offers artists, musicians, animators, and directors the chance to create their work on an open-source platform that is stable, efficient, graphically appealing, and simple. We really have a chance here to continue developing something magnificent, and in order to do so, we need a more tightly knit community.<br>

Our art can be added on the GNOME-Look site or here:<br>
