Hello All,
With the implementation of Face-browser login [1] and Fast User Switching for Fedora 7, a good set of User Images will add polish to the user experience. It is obvious that some of the existing User Images (located at /user/share/pixmaps/faces) would benefit from an update. Thus, if you are interested in submitting images, or suggestions of what you would like to see, for one of the 24 default images, please contribute by:
- posting to this thread, - [preferably] posting your submission(s) to Open Clip Art and Tag as “userimage”(but without the quotes). Please be sure to tag it properly, as tags are case sensitive and the final set will be collected via tag search. - emailing me directly at dfong@redhat.com and I will upload to Open Clip Art for you.
Deadline for submissions will be March 15 to make it in time for Fedora 7 Feature Freeze. After that, on March 16th, the 24 default images will be determined by myself and Visual Designers from Red Hat and from other distros.
NOTE: ALL submitted images WILL have a home unless it has inappropriate content. All images, even the ones replaced from the current set will be packaged and included to provide more choices to Users.
For additional information please see the original post at [2].

Please don't do that. The purpose of the Open Clip Art Library is to gather images in vector format, specifically SVG. Other image types (JPEG, PNG) are outside of the project's mission and may be rejected (it seems this already happened), we accept raster images only as request for vectorization.
I suggest an alternate uploading procedure: create a page in the fedoraproject.org wiki and upload the images here.
Of course, SVG submissions will be gladly accepted at openclipart.org.

PLEASE NOTE: User Image Submission Request Revised
The user submissions, which were originally to be uploaded to OpenClipArt, are now being relocated to GNOME-look.org. Please note the change in location and upload information. I’ve updated my previous blog post [1] with the relevant information, so please reread and resubmit. If you’ve emailed me directly, then I’ll just repost your submission. My apologies for any inconvenience and thank you again for your patience and participation.
Highlighted change includes: License: The license no longer needs to be Public Domain, but for consistency please select GPL so that it may be used by open source distros.
Upload info: 1) Include ‘UserImage -’ in the name of your submission, so that it will be easier to identify when I collect the images. 2) select “Clipart” for the ‘Type’ field 3) select “GPL” for the ‘License’ 4) GNOME-look allows for multiple uploads in an entry, so upload your original large square version AND a 96x96 version.
