Blueprint changed by amjjawad:

Whiteboard changed:
  [amjjawad] Marked as "Needs Infrastructure" because we do need
  volunteers to contribute to this contest. Hope someone to step in soon
  :)
  
  This one is approved already.
  @Alfredo Hernández
  Kindly change the direction to 'Approved' :)
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  [aldomann] We're going to use the wiki for the contest, as it gives us total control of it. Also, most of our users also use Launchpad.net or have a Ubuntu One account.
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  [amjjawad][RE: aldomann] any good reason why do we have to use the Wiki? keep in mind that this contest shouldn't be restricted to members and/or users of Ubuntu GNOME but 'everyone' who might be interested to join. Not to mention, most of the 'users' don't really have Launchpad Account and they 'don't know' how to edit the Wiki Pages and probably have never done this before. The idea is to have as many submission as possible - correct me please if I am wrong :)
  However, that is of course your area ;) I do have already 4 sub-teams to worry about :D
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  [aldomann][RE:amjjawad] We've discussed it with Satyajit and you are
  right. We're using Flickr. You need a Yahoo account, but submitting the
  wallpapers is a piece of cake.
  
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  [amjjawad] don't you guys think we should have publish this on our website or Social Media channels instead of including a link for: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/01/ubuntu-gnome-14-04-wallpaper-contest ??? OMG Ubuntu is not part of Ubuntu GNOME Community and while I appreciate their help to spread the word, it is our job to publish that on our channels :) it happened. That is okay. It was the first time and failure to do things as perfect as possible is very much expected. But please, let's avoid that 'next time' and let's improve our internal communications, shall we?
  
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  [satyajit] I had shared it myself on Google+. I don't know who manages the Ubuntu GNOME page on G+. May be he can share?
  
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  [aldomann] Yeah, Ali. I agree, this is a bit of experimenting (the first time for most of us collaborating in such a big team). We definitely need to improve our internal communications (i.e., internal meetings) :P
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  [amjjawad] [RE: satyajit] I am the founder of Ubuntu GNOME Marketing and Communications Team and the manager of each and every Social Media Channel for Ubuntu GNOME and also Website Admin for our website :)
  You should have taken a look at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GettingInvolved/WhoWeAre and I see you did add yourself so how come you didn't check that :D
  No problem. No, you know. Also, you can always ask on the mailing list ;)
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  [amjjawad] [RE: aldomann] +1
  Well said, brother. This is what I am expecting from you ;)
  I have no real problem except I don't really like the idea to depend on some external websites that share our news which we should have do. I mean, I don't want anyone to do our job if you know what I mean.
  Never too late. Could you please send me all the details related to 'The Wallpaper Contest' so that I add it to our website?
  Thank you :)

  [aldomann][RE: amjjawad]
  Satyajit is the man behind the contest :D
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  [amjjawad] Haha, but you're the Team Leader :P

  We first wanted to use the Wiki as the submission page, then we changed for Flickr. All the walls already submitted to the wiki also participate.

+ [amjjawad] for the next cycle, there should be no mistakes whatsoever :D I am sure we have learned from this as our very first Wallpaper Contest. 
+ Now, why 27th of Feb? that is too much. If we have already enough wallpapers to choose from, I see no reason to extend that to the end of Feb :) Just a thought ;)
