Here's a summary of the ideas we came up with during the design team
meeting:
- Interview with Nicu Buculei on how he got started with Open Clip Art
and also highlighting
openclipart.org as a tool for designers (maybe
have a sidebar on OCAL/Inkcape integration feature?), maybe explaining
public domain and SVGs?
- Interview with Tatica Leandro on her Gimp podcasts and how they are
used in SA high schools, and maybe do a highlight on using Gimp as a
tool.
- Interview Luya Tshimbalanga on the Fedora-fr Muffin magazine project,
show some screenshots of the design, maybe have a highlight on Scribus.
- Interview Jef van Schendel on how he got started with the design team
via Design Team bounty, maybe highlight open office as a tool since he
used that for his bounty?
- Martin Sourada / Nicu Buculei / Pierros Papadeas - interview on their
presentation of the Fedora design team process at Libre Graphics Meeting
2010, maybe with a highlight on LGM and what it's about and its history?
- You could interview me too, since it seems no general Inkscape
highlight in the list, I could talk about how I use Inkscape to create
UI mockups and show some off for the article.
Does anybody else have an idea or want to volunteer for an interview?
Ian, would you be willing to be interviewed on our brand book?
I think for each interview you could have a little sidebar for the
highlighted tool talking about the upstream website and the install
instructions for getting it on Fedora.
That is actually a really cool idea (sidebar on tool). :)
Sorry I've been lax on this - holiday weekend and I went down to
Phoenix a few days early to meet with some folks from ASU on our
we-should-definitely-know-this-week-if-we-can-use-their-facilities-for-FUDCon
process. :DD
I'll try to pop into today's meeting - I'd like to schedule one
meeting a week until we're done-ish. I think the list above is a
really great set and I have no objections at all to that. If we could
draw up a schedule today in the meeting - I'll take that list, put it
on the wiki and get to work. ;)
Thanks everyone!
-Robyn
