The chosen word to inspire F44 is **_Sustainability_**, chosen by the community [here](https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora-44-wallpaper-inspiration-poll/161637)! ## **Fedora 44 will be inspired by the word -Sustainability-** Old wallpapers to refer to: * [Fedora 41 Wallpaper](https://gitlab.com/groups/fedora/design/-/epics/34) * [Fedora 42 Wallpaper](https://gitlab.com/fedora/design/team/release-artwork/default-wallpaper/-/issues/21) * [Fedora 43 Wallpaper](https://gitlab.com/fedora/design/team/release-artwork/default-wallpaper/-/issues/22) Official Schedule for F44: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-44/f-44-key-tasks.html This wallpaper will be developed between July and December 2025, building on mind maps created at the Flock 2025 workshop. They will be posted below. ## How to Contribute We are currently in the pre-release brainstorming process, so for this phase, all artwork/brainstorming ideas/critiques/messy design fun should happen in the pre-release design epic here If you would like to participate in this process, please note: * The wallpaper is done in a 4:3 ratio at 4032 x 3024 px. * Use only Open Source programs like Blender, Krita, Inkscape, Gimp, etc. * Please post both a screenshot or bitmap export of your work AND the source file * For example, post both a \*.blend Blender file and a PNG render so we can see what you did * Attachments work best in comments. * Please try to attach and write up everything in one comment to make the discussion easier, and respond to replies in your comment thread instead of opening a new comment. * Mid-November is when our final beta wallpaper should be done! * Visuals should be inspired by the themes suggested below.
