Krita Team Seeking Artwork for User Gallery
===========================================

   With Krita's [http://www.koffice.org/krita/] recent 1.6 release
enhancing its usability for professional artwork, the Krita team is
looking into creating a gallery where Krita users can contribute their
art made with it. Any decent gallery needs to be seeded with some
initial artwork. So we are asking any Krita user who might want to show
his painting skills, to consider making us a pretty painting. With some
luck, it'll get selected to be put on the site. Read more on how to
participate.

     To participate, you first need to make a painting or a picture.
When you are satisfied with it, save it in Krita's native file format.
This is called 'Krita Document' in the Save Dialogue, and has the '.kra'
extension. If you used lots of regular layers, group layers, adjustment
layers and other fancy things, we would be pleased to see them in the
saved file. Then, you need to pick a license to put your image under.
We'd very much like this to be an open license, that is: a license that
permits other people to not only look at the file, but also to play
around with it (while still giving you credit, of course). An example of
a license that would probably be good, might be the GNU General Public
License [http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html], but some of the Creative
Commons [http://creativecommons.org/] licenses will also be good if they
are open enough. Please make sure that if you use external material,
like photographs made by other people, that you have the proper
authority to use them this way.

     Then, you can mail the document, together with the license
information, to the gallery administrators: . You can also add some
brief information about your work, like a description, a title, and your
name. We will let you know if we select the image to appear on the
gallery. As a small reminder, if you have any problems or suggestions to
enhance Krita, be sure to let us know about them [http://bugs.kde.org/].
