Mouse location throbber thing
by Ian Weller
I have a setting on my desktop computer (F10) that when I hit Ctrl,
little blue waves emanate from the pointer to help me locate it. (It's
really neat looking.)
My laptop, when enabling this setting, does *not* have the pretty blue
throbber. And in the past, I've never seen this pretty version before.
Does anybody know what package is installing this animation, if any?

feedback from EMEA media production company
by Max Spevack
Hi design-team,
I've got some feedback from our Fedora media producer in Munich
regarding the F11 disk art, that I wanted to pass along.
These guys are working on getting the artwork all settled now, so that
we can hand them final bits and hopefully have finished product in time
for FUDCon Berlin.
Here's the feedback, verbatim:
(1) The artwork is too big. This leaves too possibilities:
a) they adapt the artwork to the standard case they use, and therefore
cut off a part of the design, which would turn up like in the file
attached
b) you ask the Fedora team to reduce the measures and use the
specifications attached
(2) All files related to the CD/DVD case contain transparencies and this
could bring some problems by printing out the files. Therefore it would
be great if the Fedora team could re-create X3 PDFs, that don´t contain
transparencies. Otherwise the agency can try to rewrite the pdfs but
there´s no warranty about the result.
(3) In the file "F11-livemedia-gnome-sleeve.pdf" there´s a no-embedded
font ("MgOpenModata-Oblique"). If we want to use this font they need
make a new pdf and embed it.
(4) In the labels is indicated a missing font ("Lohit-Oriya"). If we
really want to use this font we also need new files with the font
embedded.

Quetzalcoatl
You might have some cultural problems if you use this literally (like you could do if you used anything Maori) though it has a really cool style. (I love those block style eagles that look good as a tattoo.)

The amount of time required here is very low, so I would say it's well
spent. :-) Remember that we're just discussing themeability, not
actually asking people to design things yet. Once the community
decides on a name, we'll be able to proceed with the step that
actually takes considerable time. ;-)
As for pronunciation, I think that "Bordeaux" and arguably "Tettnang"
fall into the same category as "Quetzalcoatl." (I remember first
encountering this name as a young boy and I thought it was really cool
then, so I'm happy to see it on this list.)

F12 names and themeability
by Paul W. Frields
Hi Design Team.
As you're probably aware we are working early on the F12 naming
process, to provide the Fedora Design team plenty of time for theming
the next release, as requested. The community submitted names to the
wiki page, and then the Board did a vote on the community names that
passed the initial review process. The top names will be sent to
Legal for final approval and then turned into a ballot on which the
whole community will vote. Therefore, the top name on the Board's
list may not end up winning the final vote. I'm only going to list
the top 16 or so names here to make things easier for this team -- the
idea is that I will send about 12 names to Legal, and hope for at
least 8 back that pass legal review.
I would ask that people remember that themes can be very broad and
simply "inspired" by a name. For example, "Heisenberg" is the name of
a scientist who postulated the Uncertainty Principle (that measuring
certain subatomic events actually changed the nature of those
events). So that name lends itself to things like atoms/molecules, or
other interconnectedness that could represent community, and building
structure from small things.
Before I send the list on to Legal, I would like the Design team to
look at these names and give me some indication of their themeability.
I think the easiest way to accomplish this is for anyone participating
in the Design team to indicate whether they think a name *can* be
themed, either with "+1" and/or an idea for how to do it. If there
are any names for which no one indicates themeability, I will consider
leaving those off the list for final review by Legal.
Josh Boyer, the Board, and I are performing this process early --
before Fedora 11 is even released! -- because the Design Team has
asked for that repeatedly. Therefore the sooner you can get me your
input, the sooner I can send these on to Legal, and set up a community
voting process for the actual F12 name. I would really like it if I
can get people's input in the next 24-48 hours!
The list:
Quetzalcoatl
Constantine
Hubble
Skywalker
Umbria
Hippokoon
Heisenberg
Goliath
Rugosa
Adamastor
Orville
Chilon
Wallace
Elvis
Cimrman
Alexander
Stradivari
