I was not referring to the Gnome project + We are the distribution that 
get mostly praised for the distribution artwork afaik so if anything we 
should created our artwork as usual and Gnome should use that from my 
perspective.

I was referring to Nicu blog post and what he was mentioned in the 
meeting specifically.

"Then the bomb dropped: Mo forwarded a "special request" (from the sound 
of it looks non-negotiable) from the Red Hat Desktop Team: in Fedora 15 
the wallpaper in the default spin, the Desktop Live CD, which is under 
discretionary control of the RHDT, to be the default upstream GNOME 3 
wallpaper."

And

"19:20:09 <mizmo> nicubunu, i dont think so, the thing that is different 
now than what has happened before is that as part of my full-time job at 
red hat, i keep this team running
19:20:28 <mizmo> nicubunu, having the design team for Fedora is really 
important enough that i'm paid to make sure it's going"

"I keep this team running" there's no I in team...
