Mouse location throbber thing
by Ian Weller 07 Jun '09

07 Jun '09

I have a setting on my desktop computer (F10) that when I hit Ctrl, little blue waves emanate from the pointer to help me locate it. (It's really neat looking.) My laptop, when enabling this setting, does *not* have the pretty blue throbber. And in the past, I've never seen this pretty version before. Does anybody know what package is installing this animation, if any? -- Ian Weller <ian(a)ianweller.org> GnuPG fingerprint: E51E 0517 7A92 70A2 4226 B050 87ED 7C97 EFA8 4A36

feedback from EMEA media production company
by Max Spevack 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Hi design-team, I've got some feedback from our Fedora media producer in Munich regarding the F11 disk art, that I wanted to pass along. These guys are working on getting the artwork all settled now, so that we can hand them final bits and hopefully have finished product in time for FUDCon Berlin. Here's the feedback, verbatim: (1) The artwork is too big. This leaves too possibilities: a) they adapt the artwork to the standard case they use, and therefore cut off a part of the design, which would turn up like in the file attached b) you ask the Fedora team to reduce the measures and use the specifications attached (2) All files related to the CD/DVD case contain transparencies and this could bring some problems by printing out the files. Therefore it would be great if the Fedora team could re-create X3 PDFs, that don´t contain transparencies. Otherwise the agency can try to rewrite the pdfs but there´s no warranty about the result. (3) In the file "F11-livemedia-gnome-sleeve.pdf" there´s a no-embedded font ("MgOpenModata-Oblique"). If we want to use this font they need make a new pdf and embed it. (4) In the labels is indicated a missing font ("Lohit-Oriya"). If we really want to use this font we also need new files with the font embedded.

Quetzalcoatl You might have some cultural problems if you use this literally (like you could do if you used anything Maori) though it has a really cool style.

The amount of time required here is very low, so I would say it's well spent. :-) Remember that we're just discussing themeability, not actually asking people to design things yet. Once the community decides on a name, we'll be able to proceed with the step that actually takes considerable time. ;-) As for pronunciation, I think that "Bordeaux" and arguably "Tettnang" fall into the same category as "Quetzalcoatl." (I remember first encountering this name as a young boy and I thought it was really cool then, so I'm happy to see it on this list.) -- Paul W.

We could do a lighthouse. symbolizes resolute strength.

F12 names and themeability
by Paul W. Frields 03 Jun '09

03 Jun '09

Hi Design Team. As you're probably aware we are working early on the F12 naming process, to provide the Fedora Design team plenty of time for theming the next release, as requested. The community submitted names to the wiki page, and then the Board did a vote on the community names that passed the initial review process. The top names will be sent to Legal for final approval and then turned into a ballot on which the whole community will vote. Therefore, the top name on the Board's list may not end up winning the final vote. I'm only going to list the top 16 or so names here to make things easier for this team -- the idea is that I will send about 12 names to Legal, and hope for at least 8 back that pass legal review. I would ask that people remember that themes can be very broad and simply "inspired" by a name. For example, "Heisenberg" is the name of a scientist who postulated the Uncertainty Principle (that measuring certain subatomic events actually changed the nature of those events). So that name lends itself to things like atoms/molecules, or other interconnectedness that could represent community, and building structure from small things. Before I send the list on to Legal, I would like the Design team to look at these names and give me some indication of their themeability. I think the easiest way to accomplish this is for anyone participating in the Design team to indicate whether they think a name *can* be themed, either with "+1" and/or an idea for how to do it. If there are any names for which no one indicates themeability, I will consider leaving those off the list for final review by Legal. Josh Boyer, the Board, and I are performing this process early -- before Fedora 11 is even released! -- because the Design Team has asked for that repeatedly. Therefore the sooner you can get me your input, the sooner I can send these on to Legal, and set up a community voting process for the actual F12 name. I would really like it if I can get people's input in the next 24-48 hours! The list: Quetzalcoatl Constantine Hubble Skywalker Umbria Hippokoon Heisenberg Goliath Rugosa Adamastor Orville Chilon Wallace Elvis Cimrman Alexander Stradivari -- Paul W.
