[15:06] <neurochrome> Hello ubuntu artwork ppl
[15:07] <neurochrome> Every release cycle I see a request for submissions for community wallpapers... and every release I see the continued reliance on flickr
[15:07] <neurochrome> I have submitted to the brainstorm site a request to move away from such a service
[15:07] <neurochrome> http://www.reddit.com/tb/inj9n
[15:07] <neurochrome> and reddit! ;)
[15:08] <neurochrome> It has since been closed on brainstorm by Cheesehead - who suggest I address this issue directly to the artwork team
[15:09] <neurochrome> please, please, please, consider the fact that some TRUE die-hard FLOSS fans don't want a yahoo account. I want to take part in the wallpaper contest every time, but refuse to open a yahoo account purely to submit some pictures for inclusion.
[15:10] <neurochrome> There are many canonical sites that could be used instead. We can use our universal launchpad logins, we can use gallery software provided in the Ubuntu repos... etc
[15:11] <neurochrome> why are we relying on a 3rd party (who has a huge pact with Microsoft of all people)
[15:11] <neurochrome> I sure hope someone sees this in the logs and actually takes this onboard
[15:19]  * neurochrome ?
[15:19] <neurochrome> yes
