Christmas Screenshot Contest

(for  mac users only)

now that many of you have probably set up your desktop to get you in the right mood for christmas or the upcoming new year, why don't you capture that mood in a screenshot and then post it in the comments to this blog entry over at Iconpaper?

:iconiconpaper:

the contest is still open for your submissions until the 5th of january 2011 and who knows, maybe you'll win and infect others with your way of customizing your desktop for this special time of the year.



Feeling enticed?

..then head on over to Iconpaper and read about all the details here. :eager:



"Santa's Here" Contest

(for sony-ericsson themers only)

if you're familiar with skinning and/or creating themes for sony-ericsson cellphones, then this contest hosted by SEGMT is meant for you.

:iconsegmt:

the contest is still open for your submissions until the 7th of january 2011 and you can win some points by showing that "Santa is Here".



Sounds interesting?

deviantART needs a new GM for Skins&Themes

..more precisely, a gallery moderator to take care of anything Linux related.



How come..

..and why is it, that the current GM for Skins & Themes can't take care of everything and all there is in this particular part of deviantART?

well, as many of you might already know, i've been a windows customizer by heart for a long time and since last august i'm also making my first steps in the world of macintosh, so i'm capable of trying out and of actually using most of the deviations you're submitting for those operating systems, but i know little to nothing when it comes to anything linux related.

there have been reports that the linux community feels somewhat mis-represented or even neglected by me and frankly, i can't even blame them to say this. there have been requests for new linux gallery categories and i can't even evaluate the importance and necessity of those requests, due to my ignorance on the entire subject of Linux.

that's not the way it should be and the large and still growing linux community deserves better than that. and that's exactly why i've filed a request to moonbeam13, that deviantART by all means needs another GM who'd take care of the linux gallery and of the wishes and needs of the linux community in general. as a result from this request, there's now an open Skins & Themes GM position for anything linux related.



How to apply for the Job

"The Volunteer Gallery Moderator (GM) forms a relationship with the artistic community and serves as a communication bridge between the artists and the administration. The GM also helps motivate and encourage artists through activities such as events, news features, contests and daily deviations."


if you're interested, you should go to communityrelations and then check out this blog entry.

also make sure to read the following helpdesk entries:

if you have read that and if you still think that you got what it takes to become the new Skins & Themes GM for anything linux related, then all you'd eventually have to do is filling out this application form. good luck!! :woohoo:

feel free to ask me anything you'd like to know about being a GM and i'll gladly explain.
