Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase

[Ub1476]

For a long time now, Ubuntu has included on the CD a small collection of media files that can be used to show off a new Ubuntu system. This content has always included a sound and a video clip, both using the free Ogg Vorbis and Theora formats.

For the next release of Ubuntu we want to shake things up a little bit, and ship some content that shows off free culture artists. At the heart of Ubuntu's ethos is a belief in showcasing free software and free culture, and we think it would be an excellent opportunity to show off some free culture artists by putting their media on millions of Ubuntu systems around the world. Although the space restrictions are tight, we think this is too good an opportunity to miss.

Thought it would get more attention here than in the artist forum.

I think Half-Left (user) work with the GIMP should be used. He has made some amazing artwork:

Showing the power of GIMP - 1
Showing the power of GIMP - 2

I think the animal woman in 2 would be best, cause it's something Ubuntuish about it.. He says he still got a lot to do though.

Great idea! Can someone posted a "Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase" thread on the Blender forum???
