Schedule items

[Paul W. Frields]

How do people think the schedule is helping with design tasks, in
general?

Do you feel the wallpaper refresh schedule is reasonable?  Are we on
target for another refresh (iteration) and repackaging?

And finally, and most importantly, what can the rest of the community,
including me, do to help the Design team?

I'm curious too :)

We've had a couple of tasks to blog about the new wallpapers... I don't 
think I've seen any on planet.fedoraproject.org.  Is this still 
something we want to do?

When I updated the project wide schedule I moved the wallpaper refresh 
#2 to after the Alpha release (next Thursday and Friday) so it follows 
the same pattern we originally had before the Alpha was extended one week.

Thanks,
John

We're in a slip as well too. I'm still waiting on updated wallpapers for
packaging (and probably blogging).

Nice. Seems like we need to move the refresh #1 as well to this Thursday
and Friday, as we haven't refreshed yet -- hence the missing blogposts.

I know there were some very attractive refactorings done of the
wallpaper ideas that went to Alpha.  Is there a canonical place where
the most current wallpaper version is linked or uploaded?

Martin blogged the first set here: 
http://mso-chronicles.blogspot.com/2009/08/constantine-wallpapers-package...

We haven't done an update yet because of the slip. We met some days ago
and are planning to ship an updated version of María's handdrawn vector
tiles. If they're not ready though, our backup plan is to use a
perspective-ized version of the flat vector tiles graphic that shipped
in the initial set.

Awesome, sounds like things are progressing really well -- with a
wallpaper refresh underway, and Martin prepared for packaging, I
think you guys have a super-successful cycle underway!

And before alpha he had a few more:
http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/2009/07/artwork-for-fedora-12-alpha.html
http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/2009/07/submission-deadline-for-fedora-12.html
http://tatica.org/2009/07/30/pruebas-de-diseno-artwork-fedora-12/

But since then it was relatively quiet, probably because we didn't have
something spectacular happening.
