hey folks,
I was looking around for screen savers related to the "fedora community" in the repos. Sadly, I couldn't find any. There is the floating fedora logo screen saver, but that doesn't really emphasize on community at all.
As a result, I intend to make one. (I've read through the srpm to spot's frog screen saver. Making one doesn't look very complex). I need your help in selecting the images that it will feature.
Please reply to this mail with links to any images :).
What I was thinking : - Images from the FUDCons - Workshops - Install fests - etc etc.
I think its going to be something like the presentation on the fedora community that I found quite a while back[1], only less text, more images.

Another query:
I also thought of making one with Quotations. Like quotations from Ayn Rand's series "atlas shrugged", "the fountainhead" etc. What license would I be looking for to use quotes from the book? (if any)?
It's just going to be text on some background. Maybe some images here and there if I can get some fit enough.
Thank you for your time :)

I think this falls squarely into the scope of the design team. So redirect your question to fedora-design list unless of course you specifically want images related to India.
I think, there is somewhat of a trend to post to fedora-india list queries just because you are from India. While it is good to see some traffic, don't do that. Use this list only when the topic is somehow region specific - local events, team meetings, free media etc.

hi,
Okay.. I hadn't joined the design list yet. Will do so and direct my query there. Thanks

And yet there is an upside - I am fairly certain that a larger segment of the fedora-india subscribers would not be subscribed to the various lists. Or, they would be aware of them. A mail (like the one from the OP) and, your response provides an implicit guide towards how to project issues and, move towards solutions.
