This year the flag will be the same size as last years as we nearly finished it last year. It has a small aboriginal flag on it, a large bluey and the text aussie.zone in the bottom right.
Here is the template for this year: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=90&y=78&zoom=4&tu=https%3A%2F%2Faussie.zone%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F93987250-cd08-4e21-9b00-dbd13669ffe4.png&tw=200&tx=0&ty=0&ts=ONE_TO_ONE
Before using it you will have to lower the transparency in canvas settings (and you'll have to wait for canvas to start :) )
We also have a matrix chat for the flag: #australiacanvas:matrix.org
Please allow others to place art on the flag and don't damage it unless it is another countries flag, covers the stars, union jack, bluey, or other important parts of the flag.
Huh. Well this went from "something to look into next week" to "Oops, it's finished already".
Looks like there wasn't much interest this year.
Hah, I was much the same. I went to check on it last night / early this morning and realized I had straight up missed the whole thing.
I wonder how much of this is less activity in threadiverse in general vs less interest (or less promotion of?) Canvas this year. As a random data point, last year I remember seeing Canvas promoted several times in my feed leading up to the event, but I think this year I only saw it here and maybe once in [email protected].
I did probably venture outside Aussie.zone more last year in truth. These days I very rarely do that. My time is too limited to waste it doom scrolling the shit show that is US politics.
Yeah, I couldn't do it most of the time and nobody got enough done to get the ball rolling. Didn't help that there was a group entirely dedicated to vandalizing it this year. We got an aboriginal flag and the southern cross done but the Vietnamese replaced the aboriginal flag with theirs and the arsenal fans who said they wouldn't damage the stars removed them.
Doesn't matter tho we still have next year, hopefully we get some more people.
