Summary

In order to function well, the art team needs a defined process for the contribution and sharing of information.

Rationale

A large number of people are interested in the Ubuntu artwork and everyone wants to offer their opinion. Without a well defined process things fall apart quickly.

Design

Clearly define the process. Define all of our information channels and ensure that communication flows across channels. Attract new contributors by

BoF agenda and discussion

Artwork Community Cooperation

Wiki, IRC and Mailing list are the official lines of communication

Gallery - ubuntuforums gallery, a.u.c, ubuntu-art.com ??? Flickr Forums - post sticky detailing official communication resources (send to Mike) and ambassadors if people are interested

Meetings every month

Info needs to flow back--to this end ambassadors are needed A plan to "cherrypick" or grab valuable people from flickr, forums, etc

Need to add art team info to forum

digg like process for things going into community art package

• WIP threads, as part of community building
• Talk to Matthew Nuzum on this w/Drupal
• Any popularity or rating system, needs to be clear on actual authority

Need a go-to developer guy for stuff like packaging

Key Issues

=== Artwork Submission Process ==

• Clear instructions posted on BOTH the wiki and the forums
