Dear -publicity team,
given that apparently nobody was in charge of organizing the artwork
collection for Wheezy [1], I've tried to help out a bit on -dekstop. It
now seems we've consensus on proceeding with the call for artwork.
[1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2012/01/msg00001.html
Can someone from the publicity/press team help us out with finalizing
the text of the call, starting from the excellent draft above already
provided by Jeremiah?
Here are a few thoughts / suggested changes on the above:
- also mention #debian-dekstop on irc.d.o as a contact point
- maybe anticipate that the requirements are at
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianDesktop/Artwork/Requirements even though
it is spelled out at wiki.d.o/DebianDesktop/Artwork/Wheezy? (not sure
about this one)
- should we add a deadline (e.g. 2 months from now?) we will probably
have to extend it, but I've the impression knowing there *is* a
deadline might motivate people in participating ASAP, rather than
waiting the very last minute
Many thanks in advance for your help,
Cheers.
