Hello team,
Design team have recently chosen Cantarell for body text. I have packaged Cantarell fonts for Fedora and am looking for review [1]. I noticed Dave Crossland is part of SIG Fonts so, if interested, he can be co-maintainer of abattis-cantarell-fonts once it passed the review.

Wow! Thank you everyone! :-)

I have been saying for probably years now that I want to start packaging fonts for Fedora, and this seems like a great opportunity to actually get stuck in.
Read up the docs about it this weekend :-)
Cheers Dave

FWIW seems like the font exception as indicated on the upstream website is missing from the License field in the package spec.
There is also a release with the same version number on the Google font repository but under a different license.
Which one is the latest and the real upstream?

They are the same files, so the fonts are effectively dual licensed now under GPLv3+FE and SIL OFL 1.1.
I will clear some of this up at the weekend.

Great! Thanks for taking care of that.
Will be good to see more Cantarell across Fedora materials :-) Kudos to you as the upstream and to Luya for tackling the packaging.
Cheers,

While you're doing that, it would help if you could provide a makefile for building from the FontForge sources.
As I've noted in the pre-review, we *should* build from the SFDs whenever they are provided. It isn't tricky to write the few lines in the spec to call FontForge, but you're the person who will know if there are any little wrinkles!
Cheers,

Then I will wait for that clarification before updating the spec file.

I took the ticket for my first ever ticket review (in many many years). I will work with Mr Williams to get this done as quickly as possible (when you are ready).

No problem. Give me a heads up and I will start with the next steps.

I didn't actually book my transit until today, so I didn't really commit, but I've just done so.
I'll be taking the train from London to Zurich:
Thursday 16th September 2010 09:32 - London St Pancras, Eurostar train, arrives 12:47 - Paris Nord 14:24 - Paris East, Lyria train, arrives 19:14 at Zurich Hb
However, I don't have any accommodation sorted. Can anyone suggest anything? :-) I am into couchsurfing and have many references - http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/davelab6/ - and I am happy to share a room if there are any spare beds in any hotels/dorms etc.
I'm now consulting for Google on their libre web fonts project, http://code.google.com/webfonts/, so I'm really looking forward to talking to the Fedora design team about the wonderful fonts efforts and community best practices :-)
Cheers Dave

Just a quick note to ping about upstream hosting for Cantarell now that the font has also been pushed to its own repo on git.gnome.org: http://git.gnome.org/browse/cantarell-fonts/
The font files themselves seem to be the same version than in the Google font directory repo and in the upstream http://abattis.org/cantarell. But there are discrepancies between chosen licensing and the corresponding notices or metadata across the various font sources. Some synchronisation would be very helpful for end-users, fellow designers and maintainers.
IMHO this should be sorted quickly for such a prominent font project. Following some of the general open font best practises is probably useful for long-term maintainership as well (FONTLOG.txt, sources/, line-endings, buildpath, etc).
