Hello Sam, first I think you are doing a great thing by helping our Ubuntu community. This lifts the contributions received by Ubuntu to a whole new level. When even professional musicians / composer take their time to contribute to this great project.
To your request: I and many many more think a new start-up sound is required. There was an official contest for it for the 12.04 LTS release but never made it into official release. ( http://design.canonical.com/2012/02/ubuntu-sound-theme-design/) It was quite anyway and the sounds weren't that pretty in my opinion. But maybe Callum Pringle (callum.prin...@canonical.com) or Nick Tait ( nick.t...@canonical.com) can give you more information about what happend and where to submit you work. Besides the start-up sound I believe that wie could also profit Form some beautiful ringtones for the upcoming Ubuntu for phones release (late October). So if you like to contribute even more there's a good start. Since musical contributions to Ubuntu are quite unusual and might take a while there's always another route: Make the music, upload them somewhere, notify us on this mailinglist and let the community post your links on Google+ and Facebook. If interest is big enough (and I belive so, espesially because you're famous) your request/contribution will get heard quite fast. But only if they fit the Ubuntu spirit ;-) Sid Am 10.09.2013 19:24 schrieb "Sam Hulick" <s...@samhulick.com>: > Hey Rick! > > To be clear, I'm a composer, not a sound designer, so when I say "startup > sounds," I'm thinking something musical.
