Some love Gnome, others love KDE, for me it’s XFCE all the way. When I jumped on the Ubuntu bandwagon several years ago it was only natural that I’d use Xubuntu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Isn’t it lovely?<\/p>\n

Now, I am completely useless when it comes to artwork[0], so I will once again<\/a> stand on the shoulders of artistic giants here in this post, and appeal to those who are artistically inclined to lend a hand!<\/p>\n

First off, during Ubuntu Developer Week<\/a> last week Charlie Kravetz (charlie-tca) and Radomir Dopieralski (TheSheep) led a session on “How to help with Xubuntu” (logs<\/a>). One of the things that Radomir mentioned was “Blogging about xubuntu, and generally all kinds of publicity are great” – which inspired me to put an Xubuntu logo on my blog, but the first challenge was finding the SVG of that lovely logo. I ended up snipping it from the Lucid Artwork<\/a> brainstorm SVG.<\/p>\n

From there I worked with Charlie to get the Maverick Artwork<\/a> updated, so if you’re looking for a lovely image for your blog or article, you can now head there for these great new logos!<\/p>\n

But wait, there’s more! The Xubuntu team didn’t just need the logos, they still need art for wallpapers, GDM logins, GTK themes, Icons, bootupscreens! Charlie went ahead and submitted a request to DeviantArt earlier:<\/p>\n

Xubuntu needs your help with artwork<\/a><\/p>\n

Shy about the process? You can also join #xubuntu-devel on irc.freenode.net for a chat or contact me directly (lyz@ubuntu.com) with your work and we’ll get your submissions where they need to go.<\/p>\n

As useless with artwork as I am? The Xubuntu team is a very small one and is always looking for help with development, testing and many other tasks, so I highly recommend reading the logs<\/a> of the “How to Help with Xubuntu” session that I mentioned above and checking out the “Contribute” portion of the menu over on the Xubuntu Wiki page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[0] However, I will say that a short demo by Martin Owens<\/a> of Inkscape<\/a> at UDS<\/a> really changed how I manipulate images. Count me in with the vector graphics crowd, Inkscape has come a long way and I’m now in love with the scalability of SVGs and how easy they are to manipulate these days once you spend a few minutes getting the hang of Inkscape.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
