Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Ubuntu Artwork Team

Hi!

I'm a freelance designer and a core member of the Ubuntu Artwork Team.

So far the Ubuntu Artwork Team has been about design and artwork for
Ubuntu and Ubuntu-specific projects. While I can only encourage our
members to work in other FLOSS projects, too, I have my doubts that our
team is the right forum. Or that we should be represented as a unit
here. Especially now, when we are trying to reorganize after a period of
very low productivity.

I think such requests and specifications should be managed inside the
LibreOffice project.

(The concept of a project-neutral online platform for managing assets,
requests for artwork/design, structured design processes ... has been
floating around and discussed at UDS a little bit.)
