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.

So, I accepted the ticket. Looks much similar to a design I did before ... which was of no consequence (seemed unnecessary and overambitious at the time) See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Fedora-DIY-Sleeve.svgz#file https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Fedora-DIY_Sleeve_Cased.A.svgz#file Strangely, Joe's design bears a .otg extension ... which software reads that? Would be nice to see what was done earlier as I am curious as to why Free-media wants a redesign. In any case, I've stepped up for this one. -- Oku, Onyeibo https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Twohot -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Same, same, but different...

[Request] Mailer for the free media programme.
by Ankur Sinha 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

hello, I'm here to request a tiny little task of the awesome design team. Can someone please make a mailer that the free media program could use to send it's media in? We already have one[1], but it isn't very generic (we need one that is not region specific). The outside of the mailer could be the senders, receivers address(es) and fedora logo etc., while the inside could have some info? (like a few important fedora related links maybe?) If I need to file a ticket for this, please let me know where and how, and I'll go ahead and do it. [1] > http://ascenseur.fedorapeople.org/fedora_mailer_new.otg -- Thanks!

Design FAD 2011
by wonderer 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

Hello there, for quite a while there is an idea in the head of some of the Design-Team members to get together for a FAD. As far as I know Design-team had not something like it IRL, so the idea came up to put something together near the next LGM [1] in Montreal. That would be the weekend May 7-8 or better 14-15 depending on how much we want to do this weekend. I set up a first wikipage for that [2] and hope we can get some budget for some to attend there. I think someone employed withing redhat or near there should be able to get those up and running (mizmo, maybe you are our best choise ...?). If someone from around Montreal or around have some ideas please also put the ideas into the wiki or here on the list. What do you think about it? [1] = http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/create/2010-September/003205.html [2] = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design_FAD_planning mit freundlichen grüßen / best regards H.

Beta wallpaper revision
by Emily Dirsh 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

I know it's a bit down-to-the-wire, but I (finally! ;)) finished a new revision of the beta wallpaper. It's up on the wiki now here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:F14-wallpaper-remix-em-light-rev1.png I replaced the light spots/lens flare with a light streak/aurora effect. I don't have the source file uploaded just yet - it's huge! - but I'm working on it and I'll post a link on the wiki ASAP. See what you think! Em

Ticket #155: FUDCon:Tempe Wiki/Webpage Banners
by Marc Stewart 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

In Design Team ticket #155, Robyn Bergeron has asked: "I have had some requests for banners for use in wikis, etc. for FUDCon:Tempe. Would it be possible to get one (or more, maybe a vertically oriented one as well?) made for FUDCon?" I've made a set of banners by taking the logo from here: https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/attachment/ticket/154/fudcon-tempe-201… and then rearranging elements to fit the various banner shapes. I've deliberately kept close to that design without embellishments for the sake of rapid recognisability, though I've used rotation in some variants to allow size increases for extra impact. Since I couldn't find any strict rules for use of the FUDCon logo (only a draft mentioning that "the FUDCon logo is freely licensed and we simply ask people to use them wisely") I wanted to check whether such rearrangements are okay first.

Design spin and gnome-python2-desktop testing
by Bruno Wolff III 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

A dependency issue has been blocking composes of the Design suite spin since September 8th. Peter Robinson just rebuilt the gnome-python2-desktop source package which includes the gnome-python2-evolution package, which is what was blocking the Design suite spin composes (at least most recently). He is hoping to get people to test this for problems so that we can get it pushed as an update for beta or shortly afterwards. You can get a version to test from: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gnome-python2-desktop-2.31.1-6.fc14

Owners and (Co) Maintainers Email Meeting #4 [PUBLIC VERSION]--September 10, 2010
by Chris Jones 19 Sep '10

19 Sep '10

Just a couple of issues that were brought forward from the latest Owners and (Co) Maintainers Email Meeting that require some public opinion regarding future action(s). Cheers -- Chris Jones <chrisjones(a)comcen.com.au> **************************** Gnome-Shell: There's no doubt whether we like it or not, the Gnome-Shell will be implemented as the replacement and default desktop environment for Fedora including its Spin Desktops, somewhere along the line. Personally, I'm no fan of the Gnome-Shell (Gnome 3), hence my own complete migration to the KDE4 desktop environment in the previous weeks. I am curious as to how Gnome-Shell is going to affect the Spins? ie. Design Suite Spin. Will it affect performance and productivity? And how much control do we have in blocking it for a desktop spin? And should we be blocking it? *************************** Inkscape desktop icon: I am not happy with the current process of having a Inkscape icon and link on the desktop upon a fresh install of the Design Suite Spin. To me, it simply does not make sense and poses more questions that what it answers. It's easy enough to remove using the kickstart config. But before I go and do that, I require the opinions of others. *************************** Owners and (Co) Maintainers Email Meetings: Next meeting due date-- September 22, 2010

Zurich accommodation?
by Dave Crossland 16 Sep '10

Hi, I still didn't book a hostel/hotel for Thursday-Monday in Zurich, and I wonder if anyone in the design team would like to let me know where they are staying, since it would be cool to chat about stuff in the evenings :-) Cheers Dave

Hi Martin, Here's the quick go at a beta wallpaper for packaging today: https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/7/7b/F14-beta-wallapaper.png (source to follow, will be on the F14_Artwork page) Just a reminder this is so we have something updated in the beta, not necessarily going to be the final! ~m

how-to library
by Máirín Duffy 15 Sep '10

15 Sep '10

Hi folks, As I've been doing some tasks for F14 & FUDcon I've been trying to document my workflow as I go along and write up some how-tos: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design#How_Tos I would encourage everyone to think about the kinds of stuff they do on this team and what might make a useful how-to write up to help us onboard more designers or even simply increase our own skills & knowledge within our existing group. Having documented workflows I think can also be a great resource if we don't have enough time to help out another team with a design - if we can at least point them to a how-to they might be able to get it done on their own. Some other needed topics I can think of: - a little writeup on how licensing works and how creative commons != public domain, and why you should license your own works as openly as possible - how to install fonts on fedora - where to find great clipart and freely-licensed assets (brushes, photos, etc) What do you think? ~m

Re: [Design-team] Welcome to the "design-team" mailing list (Digest mode)
by John Biebel 15 Sep '10

15 Sep '10

Hello Fedora Designers. I'm a (relatively) new employee at Red Hat and would like to become more involved in the Fedora community. I'd like to introduce myself: I'm an interaction designer and artist originally from suburban Connecticut, USA, who has lived and worked in New York, London and now Boston. I'm a graduate of the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in Manhattan, where I majored in Painting and Photography. I've worked as an illustrator, visual designer, copywriter, and many other jobs during college. I was once employed by an artist to create 10,000 skulls out of plaster during one of the hottest summers New York City ever witnessed. So indeed, the work background has been diverse. In the arts now, I work primarily in painting and music, my music project being named Ichigatsu (hence the username), which is Japanese for January. I'm excited by the possibilities that are offered by Fedora and a completely free-software experience. I also think it's important as a Red Hat employee to be as familiar with our products as possible and contribute where and when I can. Thanks for the opportunity to introduce myself and I hope I may serve in some capacity. John

Supplemental Wallpapers Package
by Martin Sourada 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

Hi all, I've finaly found some time to work on the supplemental wallpapers pacakge. Here's the result for early testing: http://mso.fedorapeople.org/packages/F14/RPMS/ The git commit it's based on is here: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=design-team.git;a=commit;h=d6bbd7a72f6e5… What I'd like from you to review before I push it to fedora is: 1. The Attribution file. It gets installed with the -single package which is required by both -gnome and -kde 2. The .desktop files -- there's some attribution as well, I might have make an error here and there 3. The desktop-backgrounds-lauglin-extras.xml -- the attribution info I tried to add does not show in background properties and I don't know whether it's my fault or whether it isn't supported. Plus, again, I might have made a mistake when filling it out. 4. Two images were left out from Marc's slideshow XML [1] -- Oh Tomorrow I’m Alone and Thou Apocalypse by Hamed Saber so I left them out as well. Was that because they're licensing wasn't verified yet? Plus, I went ahead and sanitized the filenames a bit... Thanks, Martin References: [1] http://marcstewart.fedorapeople.org/f14/supplemental/F14_Supplemental.xml

GRUB background screen creators, To save time when testing out new designs, I've added this overlay file to the wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Grub_background_preview_overlay.png You can use it check for positioning, legibility, etc, without having to reboot (or start a VM) each time. Just add it as a new layer for an instant preview. Marc

Release criteria proposal: fedora release artwork
by James Laska 13 Sep '10

13 Sep '10

Greetings gang, From the last 2 F14 blocker bug meetings [1], it became apparent that we need release criteria to describe how best to prioritize issues related to Fedora release artwork. I took an action item to draft up 2 criteria to describe the expectations around release artwork before Final, and for the Final release. I'd like to propose the following criteria. As always, comments welcome and encouraged. = Fedora 14 Alpha = * The default Fedora artwork used must either refer to the current Fedora release under development (Fedora 14), or reference an interim release milestone (e.g. Alpha or Beta). If a release version number is used, it must match the current Fedora release under development. This includes artwork used in the installer, firstboot, graphical boot, graphical login and desktop background. = Fedora 14 Final = * The proposed final Fedora artwork is included and enabled by default for the installer, graphical boot, firstboot, graphical login and desktop background. All Fedora artwork must be consistent with the proposed final theme, and if any artwork contains a graphical version number, the version number used must match the Fedora release number. Generic release artwork (e.g. Alpha, Beta, Development) must not be used for the installer, graphical boot, firstboot, graphical login or the desktop background. Thanks, James [1] http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-bugzappers/2010-09-03/fedora-bugzap…
