The artTeam also has a number of long-term projects it is working on:
- Alternative Themes - If you are interesting in getting alternative themes to change the look of your Fedora installation, creating new alternative themes to change the look of Fedora, or working on the technical aspects of theming, you may be interested in following or even joining this project. The goals of this project are:

- working to make it possible to make these alternatives drop-in replacements
- working on an RSS-based wallpaper changing system
- Customization made easy - A project focused on:
- producing documentation on how to customize the artwork in Fedora for Fedora redistributors and other themers.
- Free and Open Source Creative Tools - Promotion & Marketing - Fedora is a free and open source project, and there are a number of creative tools that are part of it. Because we believe in Fedora, we use the tools provided in Fedora. These project involves:
- providing help/tutorials/advice in the use of the FOSS creative tools in Fedora
- working to promote the usage of FOSS creative tools and advocating the usage of Fedora (and/or any FOSS software) to creative people outside the FOSS world
- Upstream Icon SVG+CSS integration with GNOME Art / Tango teams - see [2] for more details.
- Communication/Marketing - this project involves making it easier for artists to share their Fedora-related wallpapers and artworks. Some goals of this team:

- Setting up an art-team planet for artists to post their feeds of artwork and discuss their current projects and plans
- Expanding the Fedora Art Mugshot group
- A designalogue-like (www.designalogue.com) system where we can comment on and track the family tree of the stuff we work on.
- Fedora Games SIG Artwork - interested in developing artwork for some of the games in Fedora? This is a good project to start out with.

For Contributors
Fedora Artwork Guidelines
There are basic rules and guidelines that all artwork in Fedora must follow. We have outlined many of them below. Other rules may also apply:
- Submissions should be made in formats that can be read by software available in Fedora Package Collection. Preferred image formats include SVG and PNG. Preferred sound formats include WAV, FLAC and OGG Vorbis. Master files, which may be further edited, should be maintained in non-lossy formats. Preserving vector graphics, raster layers and channels is important for such materials.
- No Fedora artwork should contain hats, particularly fedoras. This is a matter of respect for our biggest sponsor, Red Hat, Inc., and is not negotiable. Of course, passive appearance of hats, such as those upon heads in a crowd, may be tolerable.
- All contributions must be covered by the Contributor License Agreement . We cannot accept contributions from individuals who have not signed the CLA in the Fedora Account System . The CLA allows us to properly license artwork submissions for distribution with Fedora and other Fedora projects.
- Submissions must respect artwork licensing. If your submissions consist of artwork created by other people, please make sure the license of the original work you incorporate is compatible with Fedora and that you are not violating any of the provisions of its license. Just because a work is licensed with a Creative Commons license does not mean it is free to use (make sure you provide attribution to artists that license their work with a CC Attribution clause.)
- No version numbers. End users might prefer to continue to use an older theme, or use the latest theme in their older version of Fedora. To enable that choice, do not use any version numbers within the Fedora artwork.
- No text in wallpapers No words should be used in the wallpapers. They are not easily translatable and we want Fedora to be used globally and the themes to be used by derivative distributions too without extensive changes.
