We're currently trying to improve the content of the
coppermine demo. The goal is to have at least one file of every filetype that coppermine is pre-configured to display available on the demo page as well, and to have nice pics in it as well instead of the existing plain ones.
Therefor, we're asking photographers and artists to contribute pics, movies and other "coppermine" files that you would like to see on the demo. Of course they have to be owned by you (so don't upload files that you got from another site on the web, even if you believe they're public domain). To avoid legal issues with stolen pics, we will need proof that the contributed files are actually yours, so there will be checks.
The description of the files that get added to the demo will of course contain the name of the artist (that is you) and maybe a link to your homepage (if you wish so) - please fill in the needed description fields.
We can't accept nudity (even mild, artistic nudity) nor any other non-worksafe content, and of course the file-size must be small (especially for the movies) - the smaller, the better.
We can't offer any kind of reward or compensation except a lot of page impressions and your name and site being mentioned (a watermark would be OK as well). After all, it's a nice contribution and a good way to give something back to the community for the app.
Pics should preferably contain EXIF/IPTC data.
To upload any files, go to the
competition album on the demo page. You will be able to upload your files there using the "upload files" link (you need to be logged in). Your files will be visible after admin approval.
Thanks in advance - I'm looking forward to your contributions.
File types we're particularly looking for are:
- video: asf, asx, mpg, mpeg, wmv, swf, avi, mov,
- audio: mp3, midi, wma, wav, ogg, ram, ra, rm
- images: jpe, jpc, jpx, jb2, swc, iff,
- archives: rar, gz
The video and audio files are just meant to be a proof of concept, so they should (for bandwidth reasons) only be low-res.
Pictures shouldn't be larger than 1024x768 (for bandwidth reasons). Please don't hotlink large images yet to this thread

Submissions to the competition album are open for 3 more days (untill Thursday 2006-01-19). After this, uploads will be disabled and voting will be enabled. Those who have posted that we're free to take pics from their sites are welcome to submit their favorites, as we're not going to download pics from the pages submitted.
