Hi folks!
When people are done discussing existence threats and all that (kidding, kidding ;), here's a few assets that might be a good starting point to play around the idea of Lovelock Ocean Pipes[1] while getting some influence from the upstream GNOME stripes. I don't think it works all too well for the wallpaper itself as it's way too busy, but I like the texture for all the rest -- Plymouth backdrop, gdm background, posters, DVD inlays etc.
This isn't another external push to a specific direction. It's not to direct anyone anywhere. It's to inspire you guys to experiment. I'm pretty sure there's more to mine out of Lovelock. I can't identify with dismissal without actually trying it. In my view a boundary in which a designer has to be creative in is more empowering than given complete freedom. I can totally see these upstream influences incorporated into a distro with a completely different palette, like openSUSE. But that probably wouldn't be appropriate at all for me to try :)
Ingredients -- http://gitorious.org/gnome-design/gnome-design/trees/master/wallpaper/seapip... Serving suggestions -- http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/24178/1/f15-seapipes?h=b9e52e
The main project file requires Blender 2.5, but there's also individual bits rendered in the XCF if you only want to experiment there.

Is anyone willing to post this as an official proposal here?

Hi Mo, this wasn't really meant as a proper submission, more of an incentive to create something based on the ocean pipes theme. I would be happy to see submissions based on the ideas or reusing the ingredients, but not really suggesting to use these as is.
cheers

Proposals aren't meant to be used as-is; rather they are more conceptual in nature and are iterated through the alpha / beta / final release process if chosen, so I think it would be a good idea if anyone has interest in developing the idea to submit it as a formal proposal.
