I guess the artwork team's job is done.  :)

Its a nice Image. But I think fedora should have a sleek backgroud with a
web 2.0 style with a nice colourful gradient.

Although some people have different tastes in how they want their desktop to
look. Im sure the artwork team will come up with a very nice desktop image
They always do :)

My only argument with that is the fact that that would be following the 
trends, when Fedora is regularly viewed as the trend setter.

It's obvious Max wants us to start a naked trend...

I suppose it's better than the bacon trend...

I pick the guy at Leonidas's left, bending over a little, being whispered
at, to be tagged as Me. You can choose from any of the remaining

Showing naked people with more natural body shapes? I think that's
quite trendsetting.

Since I take a spin of Fedora into Elementery Schools and Jr Highs on an  
ASUS EEE , I do not think that this would be appropiate..

IMHO

art is art but not to all parents...

I personally love J.L. David, he was an amazing painter.

This could represent Fedora "state of the art" status :D

I read all the comments and the reasons argued could work. BTW, I
think this proposal could be used to give Fedora a continuity in its
style: at the end, it could underline that Fedora, as all paintings,
is open to the community, and like those helped creating a common
knowledge base, Fedora could underline its role as the 21st century
common knowledge base creator (forgive me the not so good
terminology).

Maybe this was only a suggestion to start a discussion, but an idea
like this sounds good, at least for me.

There's something missing here . . . wait, don't tell me.

Right. Togas. Fedora blue togas!

Very funny, Max.

Can they do bedsheets?  That way when you are done using it as a toga,
you can still take it home and use it.

Hah! Made my day.

Funny thing was when I did have a girlfriend, I was more addicted to
chocolate than her. She has more of an ice cream addiction.

(What's another off-topic thread?)

And what's wrong with the middle-ground, chocolate flavored ice cream? 
Well, in my experience girls (and a lot of guys too) don't appreciate 
real chocolate, with 99% cocoa and almost no sugar, as it is not sweet 
enough :p

Is not off-topic, is a preparation for the F12 code name, which now MUST 
be about chocolate... (and no, no naked people covered in chocolate).

I propose "Feodora" (www.feodora.de) then. That'll get people confused. 
Fedora 12 "Feodora"...
