The guys Debian are looking for volunteers to create the new artwork for Debian 7.0 (aka Wheezy) and for this they have organized (as in the last edition) some kind of contest to achieve this goal.
If you would like to get involved, visit the wiki page to start. You will see what are the requirements to submit artwork to Debian, as well as a form to submit your own work. You can send your questions (in English) to debian-desktop mailing list.
So now you know, to create icons, backgrounds, gtk themes ... etc 😀
Fuck if my mother hadn't missed the scanner cables it would create some background.
Do you know how long there is?
