Community response of new ubuntu artwork

[Ben Novack]

"Human images" does not have to mean "young naked human images." I
like the calendar idea; I like the art photography feel. I do not,
however, think that the splash screen (or the login, for that matter)
are especially artistic; they look like Abercrombie & Fitch ads more
than anything else. Further, naked people in ANY context are
unacceptable in a public school, corporate, etc environment. Again,
this does not exclude the prospect of non-naked humans in any way.
