Supplemental Wallpapers
by Nicu Buculei 13 Sep '10

13 Sep '10

Based on the team's vote, Emily created a page with the "winners": https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F14_Artwork_Supplemental_Wallpapers_Winners The next step is to re-check the licenses to ensure we are all OK with the usage: - 5 images were submitted by known Fedora contributors, who signed the CLA: icon, fabsh, bruce89 and nicubunu, they should be OK; - me and Emily split the remaining ones and are contacting the authors, the images are taken from Flickr and they have Creative Commons licenses but we want to check they are OK with the attribution. I started with my own part: - mailed and awaiting replies from Hamed Saber, Unhindered by Talent, Eneas, Ivan Zuber; - identified "Lavender Kiss" as having an inappropriate license, CC-BY-ND, which is considered non-Free so not usable in Fedora. We will also need the help of a packager to push them in the distro, Martin or someone else, can you lend a hand? -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/

Installation experience
by Misha Shnurapet 13 Sep '10

13 Sep '10

I decided to upgrade to F13 last weekend and I can say the Design Team has done a great job on the installer! I loved seeing the logo twice, an «empty» grayed-out version before the installation and the colored one at end. I think this should stay for the future release, because it (1) made my installation process seem much shorter (though I planned to spend an extra hour or two downloading the updates and personalizing the installed system, I felt an ease like I was all done right there), (2) made me remember the last screen of the installer with the logo and think of the Project a couple of times after. Of course, the artwork is also great. -- Best regards, Misha Shnurapet, Fedora Project Contributor http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Shnurapet shnurapet AT fedoraproject.org, GPG: 00217306

A doubt about F14 wallpapers
by Victor Hugo Borges 12 Sep '10

12 Sep '10

Excuse me, my friends,But as Im new to this mailling group thing and even to a design-team discussion, I have some doubts. About Fedora 14, the wallpapers where already choosen? There is any chance that I could submit one to review? Sorry if I still noobing here, but in wiki I read something about "Concept submissions ended 6 July, 2010", but i keep seeing people submiting new wallpapers, so it makes me wonder, could I submit one? Thanks for your attention. Sincerally, V.H.Borges. -- Atenciosamente, V.H.Borges. http://vhborges.tk

Supplemental Wallpaper XML Slideshow
by Marc Stewart 08 Sep '10

08 Sep '10

Emily and Máirín, I've created a slideshow file for the supplemental wallpapers. http://marcstewart.fedorapeople.org/f14/supplemental/F14_Supplemental.xml For now, I'm assuming: /usr/share/backgrounds/f14-supplemental/ for the directory and: Autumn_colors.jpg Mricon-f14-backgrounds-submission-red.jpg Denali_from_mckinley_princess_lodge.jpg Mricon-f14-backgrounds-submission-cart.jpg Jean-marie_hullot_(imhullot_on_flickr).jpg P1040377.jpg The_sound_of_decadence.jpg Dutch_skies.jpg Kuranda_Butterfly_Sanctuary.jpg Seneca_lake.jpg Nicubunu-f14-backgrounds-submission-Magic-forest.jpg Geese_at_Sunset.jpg Turning_and_turning_in_the_widening_gyre.jpg for the filenames. That's excluding the two problematic ones mentioned in the meeting. Obviously, if you hear back from their creator, I can add them in too. The details are easy enough to change, aswell, if, for example, Nicubunu-f14-backgrounds-submission-Magic-forest.jpg ends up being renamed as just Magic_forest.jpg, or another installation directory/directories is/are used. Just let me know. I've set them to change after 30 minutes, and since different aspect images have a tendency to cause a resizing glitch during the transition, I've opted not to use a fade between the images. If all the images end up sharing the 4:3 ratio, then I could add in, say, a two second transition time. Marc

Dutch_skies.jpg de-watermarked

I've had a go at removing the watermark from "Dutch Skies" and scaled it to the standard sizes. All at: http://marcstewart.fedorapeople.org/f14/supplemental/ If everyone's happy with it, it can be uploaded to the wiki. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Dutch_skies.jpg Marc

Slogan needed for www.fp.o?
by Paul W. Frields 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

(1) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Website_redesign/Mockups/Www.fpo#Take_2 (2) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Website_redesign/Mockups/Www.fpo#Slideshow_Ba… Maírín Duffy pointed me to these latest mockups for the main Fedora web page (www.fedoraproject.org) The Marketing team has been discussing whether a long-term slogan would be desirable on the main page -- one which wouldn't change from release to release. Currently, the filler text "Free your desktop with Fedora" is included in the mockup of the front page (1), which came from Mo and me just playing around with text to stick in the mockup we worked on in September '09. A couple questions: * Should the Marketing team come up with some text to replace that filler text in (1)? (Obviously people are welcome to participate in that discussion.) * Does the Design team want additional help with the slides seen in the mockups at (2)? -- Paul W.
