GIMP 2.7/2.8 in Fedora?
by Valent Turkovic 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

I there a way to test new GIMP 2.7/2.8 in Fedora? I looked in Rawhide repos and I still see only 2.6x versions there. Any plans to put 2.7 in Rawhide repost for testing purposes? -- pratite me na twitteru - www.twitter.com/valentt http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.

Inkscape Course for Jr. High Students
by Máirín Duffy 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

Hi folks, My Red Hat office, the Boston office, is going to be doing a program with a local middle school / jr. high (students are 11-14 I think) and I'm going to be teaching a 9 session (45 minutes a piece) course in Inkscape to the students. We are trying to introduce the students to the concept of free software & open content licenses such as Creative Commons, plus teach them how to use this useful tool that might help them in their academic career. I'm trying to put together a lesson plan for the course. But I fear that it moves way too fast, especially for 45-minute sessions. I know many of you, I am sure, have given Inkscape tutorials to other folks, and I am wondering if any of you would have time to give me advice or even help me develop the lesson plan. I set up a wiki to store all the materials: http://linuxgrrl.com/learn/Introduction_To_Inkscape (I also have materials from a 1-week class I taught at Red Hat High with John Bintz and MentalGuy from Inkscape: http://linuxgrrl.com/learn/Comic_Book_Creation_with_Inkscape) ~m

blog post on f12 artwork
by Máirín Duffy 31 Oct '09

31 Oct '09

Hi folks, I just made a post on the F12 artwork. Check it out: http://mairin.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/fedora-12s-default-wallpaper/ I put up some ideas to seed a discussion on making the F13 process better; let's start a thread on that here if you've got any ideas! ~m

F13 Artwork Process
by Martin Sourada 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi all! So, to start the thread here on list, here's my feedback. I think the F12 schedule worked rather well, we slipped a few times a few days or a week and skipped most of the wallpaper refreshes -- I think it's unnecessary to have that many wallpaper refreshes. I've tried to keep in sync with our work the Key milestones [1] so you can compare what we did in time and when we did it. So the basic outline should IMHO be: * concepts submission for default wallpaper till month and a half before alpha * designs for alpha submission till month before alpha, WIP design submission deadline for extras wallpapers * in a following fortnight discuss what gets selected for default concept/design and package it for Alpha (ideally we should be able to make the package before alpha freeze) * Make only one or two refreshes in the following month and a half or so * Create beta wallpaper -- supposed to be nearly final -- submission deadline for final extras designs; create supporting graphic in time to be packaged before the beta freeze * Based on beta feedback finalize beta wallpaper, make a final selection of extras wallpapers, package a two or three weeks before GA. Note, that the dates above are for orientation only, if the general schedule will be more/less tight we'll reflect it. I believe these six points need to be in bold face in our schedule as they are somehow important milestones. The rest of the schedule for F12 IMHO worked without much issues. Plus, it's nice poelstra e-mailed us weekly with our upcoming design tasks. If there's a calendar instance at our sites (I remember folks were talking about it on infra, but don't know whether they implemented it), it would nice to load the schedule there -- calendar with highlights is faster to follow than table with dates and not everyone uses one himself.

Freedom-Bird poster template
by Charlie Brej 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

I have put up a poster template that people can use for F12 events and the such. Do be careful when manipulating the svg as it can make inkscape stall while processing for ages due to the huge number of tiles. http://fedorapeople.org/groups/designteam/Fedora%20Collateral/Posters/Freed…

F12 Countdown Banner
by Máirín Duffy 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi folks, Does anybody have the cycles to take the beta banner and refactor it into a countdown banner? Here's some examples of ones we've done in the past for inspiration: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Artwork_PromoBanners_fedora8-countdown-… https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/e/e9/Artwork_PromoBanners_fedora9-count… https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/b/ba/Fedora10-countdown-banner.png https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/2/24/Deepsky-fedora11-countdown-banner_… Note our preferred font here is MgOpen Modata, but if you wanna do something a bit more creative like the F8 one, that's cool too. The SVGs have special tags in them that the banner script hooks into in order to generate the images with all the numeric values in them, so you only need to produce one image. For an example SVG check out this page, which catalogs all of the countdown banners I gave as examples above: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/PromoBanners#Fedora_Release_Banners Let me know if you're interested in picking up this task and I'd be happy to help you get started. ~m -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Design-team] Remaining F12 design tasks - need your help!

F12 Final wallpaper polish
by Máirín Duffy 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Hi, Just as a head's up, myself, Nicu, Ian, and some other folks had some discussion in IRC this morning about applying some polish to the wallpaper for F12. You can see some of the work-in-progress here: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/art/f12/oct%2020/ I'd love to hear your thoughts. I think we want to stay with the order & chaos concept; Nicu and I brainstormed a bit and I started taking this direction where you have close-together/orderly bokeh bursting out onto the left: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/art/f12/oct%2020/rain11.png I would love to hear what you think - could this work for F12? How could we push it further? Thanks, ~m
