[sf-lug] [Semi-OT] Photographers and artists needed for Open Source project (Tux Paint)

[Bill Kendrick]

In case anyone here is an artist or photographer, or is in contact with any
(especially any groups, such as a local photography club), the 'Tux Paint'
project is looking for contributions.

A press release is available that contains the full 'Call for Contributions',
which can be seen here:

  http://www.tuxpaint.org/latest/call-for-contributors-200701.php3

To quote the beginning:

  The Tux Paint project [ http://www.tuxpaint.org/ ] is seeking
  contributions of new content to be included in the next release
  of their award-winning Open Source drawing software for children.

  Volunteers with skills in photography, image manipulation and drawing
  are sought to help expand Tux Paint's collection of "rubber stamp"
  imagery (pre-drawn and photorealistic objects that can be placed in
  drawings) and coloring-book-style "starter" templates (scenes which can
  be colored and stamped upon).

Please feel free to Cc me (bill at newbreedsoftware.com), so I can keep track
of who has been contacted, to try and prevent contacting people and groups
multiple times. ;^)

Also, even if you're not a photographer, and are no good with pen, pencil,
ink, mouse or tablet, you can probably help contribute.  There are a lot of
freely available works (e.g., photographs on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons)
that need to be hunted, cropped and otherwise edited for Tux Paint's
purposes!

Thanks in advance for your help!
