Since the RHEL 7 Beta has been released, it is time to start thinking 
about themes, backgrounds, and artwork for SL7.

This email is aimed to begin the thought process for our more artistic 
members.

A few basic ground rules:
  - Any submission must be your original work or based on GPL source 
material (you must provide the GPL source if you use one)

  - Any submission must be released under the GPL or the applicable 
Creative Commons License with no restrictions

  - Any submission must include an SVG version of all images

We are primarily interested in backgrounds for replacing the ones 
provided by upstream.

For example:
  - grub2 backgrounds
  - gnome 3.8 or kde 4.10 wallpapers
  - plymouth boot splash

The Upstream Vendor's current artwork for 7 can be found at:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/rhel/beta/7/source/SRPMS/redhat-logos-69.1.9-1.el7.src.rpm

Our existing SL6 artwork, for the curious, is at:
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6x/SRPMS/sl6/redhat-logos-60.0.14-2.sl6.5.src.rpm

Submission deadline: April 19, 2014

Submission guidelines:
  - Anyone can submit an entry

  - There is no limit on the number of entries you can submit, but 
please try to be reasonable.

  - Submit your entries by sending them to 
[log in to unmask]

  - You can send either the logo, or a link to the logo

  - You do not have to be subscribed to the mail list to send in a logo 
entry.

  - To view entries, go to the mail list archives at 
http://listserv.fnal.gov/archives/scientific-linux-logo.html


Our preferences:
  - For people interested in using the logo, SL7 will be code named 
'Nitrogen'. If you plan to show the whole atom, please be sure to get 
the correct number of protons/elections.

  - Scientific Linux is used in Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry, and 
Biology.  It would be nice if our artwork reflected that.


Artwork will be judged by the Scientific Linux Team.
