We need your submissions or suggestions for supplemental wallpaper in Fedora 14

Supplemental wallpapers are wallpapers that are made available to Fedora users but are not turned on by default.

• Do you take a fancy to one of the other Fedora 14 default wallpaper concept submissions? Suggest it as a supplemental wallpaper!
• Take an amazing abstract photo you think would make a great Fedora 14 background? Submit it!
• See an awesome Fedora-friendly licensed piece of digital art and want it considered? Suggest it!

Fab’s gonna chime in later on with a blog post with more details on the supplemental wallpapers, so look for it – but no excuses! You can submit now! :)

Hi FOSS advocates! My name is Máirín Duffy and I'm from the Fedora design team. We're a community-oriented design team that creates artwork for Fedora under open licenses using free software tools.

We have opened up a call for submissions for photography to be included as supplemental wallpapers/backgrounds in Fedora itself. We are requesting the wallpapers be submitted under a CC-BY-SA license. More details and the wiki to submit your work to are here:

--- Fedora 14 Supplemental Wallpapers ---

With Fedora 13 almost out of the door, is the time to start planning the next release, so Máirín Duffy proposed[1] for this release cycle to take care about something that missed in Fedora 13 "We missed included supplemental wallpapers again in F13. I feel really badly about this. I think if we start looking for some early on as we also think about the default theme we'll be better on track to make sure we make it happen for F14" and Martin Sourada went further[2] with the planning "I've added key milestones [1] for it (without exact dates yet) and added a respective section to the main F14 Artwork wiki page and created a sub-page for the submissions."
