Engage DeviantArt for Ubuntu theme competition

Ubuntu

There is a wide community of online artists capable of creating brilliant, unique artwork.

heading: Get your artwork on 10 million desktops

Ubuntu, the world's most popular Linux distribution, needs a new theme. The winner will appear in the default desktop of Ubuntu 8.10.

We're looking for original wallpapers, that match Ubuntu's color palette. You entry should also include a suggested combination of application, icon, and window themes. These can be existing themes, or your own original works - you only need to submit a wallpaper to win.

Work must be CC licensed, and be openable in either Inkscape or Gimp (rest of criteria continues)

Submit your works to DeviantArt and include the words [Ubuntu810].

Good luck!

Developer comments

At this point in time it is unclear as to whether we can realize something like this. In any case we cannot promise to include anything as default without having already seen it. This might be a good way to find alternative wallpapers to also include on the CD and/or universe as an extra package.

Using BZR like time machine in MAc OS

Written by nick83ola the 13 Mar 08 at 11:49. Category: Others. Related to: Nothing/Others. New

I think that is good to use bzr to trac revision in specified folder of the system.
Examples: in /etc/ I have many configuration files.
Can be cool if something goes wrong to return to previous state with a bzr command instead of searching through that bunch of ~ .old configuration files.
or to recover lost documents in documents folder.

That functionality must be of course user selectable and only for specified folder, and not system wide enabled by default like mac does

Browsing for project references, I stumbled upon the Leadership Code of Conduct page, on Ubuntu website
http://www.ubuntu.com/community/leadership-conduct

I found this page and its advices very interesting, but I was disappointed not to be able to sign it, as a Project Leader.

I think that, at least, information about this code of conduct should be displayed more obviously for team leaders (since we know who is owner of a team, it shouldn't be hard to display a note on Leadership CoC) ; and these team leaders could be encouraged to sign it, and stick to it.

Better dynamic icon placement

Written by letronje the 11 Mar 08 at 14:05. Category: Look and Feel. Related to: Nothing/Others. New

Sometimes, when a USB pen drive or hard drive is plugged in, it is auto mounted, but,sometimes, the icon placed on the desktop overlaps with the existing icons on the desktop. A manual refresh is required to rearrange the icons properly. Gnome should do it automatically.
