I can totally understand the frustration of aeveryone here. If it comes to a
vote (public or not), be sure that I will accept the result, whatever it is. I
don't want to be an element of misunderstanding or disfonction of the desktop
choose process.

The material of the theme has been uploaded and shared on the wiki page :
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianArt/Themes/Joy (see bottom)
I'm aware that my works are "only a bunch of pictures" (adding more
frustration for those who did the effort to make packages). But I didn't wanted
to package them by myself for Gnome/Gdm, KDE/KDM... I though I'll get some
time to do it after the selection, and polish the final render of packages.
I guess once the desktop-base package is in testing, we'll have some time to
integrate the Joy theme as far as possible, with the best look. It is only a
bunch of picture, but I will continue my work to help all packagers to do
their best job.
In one word, I never intended to submit wallpapers and have a rest while
packagers are working.
