Spring is here and the release of Ubuntu 17.04 is just around the corner. I’ve been using it for two weeks and I can’t say I’m disappointed! But one new feature that never disappoints me is appearance of the community wallpapers that were selected from the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase!
Every cycle, talented artists around the world create media and release it under licenses that encourage sharing and adaptation. For Ubuntu 17.04, 96 images were submitted to the Ubuntu 17.04 Free Culture Showcase photo pool on Flickr, where all eligible submissions can be found. But now the results are in, and the top choices, voted on by certain members of the Ubuntu community, and I’m proud to announce the winning images that will be included in Ubuntu 17.04:
A big congratulations to the winners, and thanks to everyone who submitted a wallpaper. You can find these wallpapers (along with dozens of other stunning wallpapers) today at the links above, or in your desktop wallpaper list after you upgrade or install Ubuntu 17.04 on April 13th.
