A small icon request
by Matthias Clasen 22 Jul '09

22 Jul '09

With Gnome 2.28 in F12, it will be possible to have different icons for the xdg dirs: Documents: folder-documents Download: folder-download Music: folder-music Pictures: folder-pictures Public: folder-publicshare Templates: folder-templates Videos: folder-videos It would be pretty cool if we could create icons for this in a style that matches the existing user-home icon in our default icon theme (ie the folder icon with an overlayed embled in the Mist theme). http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/ArtRequests/issue26 has some more information on the general idea. And here is another screenshot that can serve as inspiration: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c0/Leopard_Desktop.png Any takers ? Matthias

Design ticket #57
by Paul W. Frields 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

Sorry to unfairly call out a specific ticket... https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/57 But this design is something we really need if we want to have vertical banners in time for the Red Hat Summit. Netiher the reporter nor I have the skills required to adapt the existing designs for the requested banner size. Full details about the submission format and other requirements are available in the ticket. Anyone have time to work on this? -- Paul W.

Mosaic Ideas
by María Leandro 21 Jul '09

21 Jul '09

Hello again :D I have been working on some ideas for a mosaic theme. This is just like a background test; I'll like some landscape on this but I need more time :S. Also I'll like to know if I can put the mosaics as an idea for the F12 theme. (I just like use mosaics with the bubble and squares :$ ) I think is the most important. Well, more links: http://tatica.fedorapeople.org/Fedora-LATAM/wallpaper-mosaico.png http://tatica.fedorapeople.org/Fedora-LATAM/wallpaper-mosaico1.png http://tatica.fedorapeople.org/Fedora-LATAM/wallpaper-mosaico2.png http://tatica.fedorapeople.org/Fedora-LATAM/wallpaper-mosaico3.png test with 4F concept: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tatadbb/3689060208/in/set-72157613836974776/ ideas? works? -- tatica Maria Gracia Leandro http://www.tatica.org http://www.iseit.net http://www.latinux.org http://www.latinux.com http://www.fedora-ve.org http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MariaLeandro LinuxUser= 440285 GPG Public Key: E1CDCC56 "Be yourself...

[Important] F12 Artwork
by Martin Sourada 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

Hi, we've taken over the F12_Artwork wiki page [1] created by bioinfornatics, cleaned it up and added the designs concepts I've found in the design-team archives. It's important that you visit the page and check if your design concept wasn't omitted. If so, please add it to the wiki. Note: I haven't bothered putting different variations of the same concept, if you feel the need to have them, either include link to the alternatives or create and link a separate page dedicated for the concept. Another news is that the Release Artwork Process [2] is now official and should serve as reference. Also, according to our current Schedule [3], we are past the concept submission deadline and have about another eight days for working on the wallpapers we want to review for F12 Alpha inclusion. So if you have a design concept you like, focus your work onto it and help making it awesome :-) Thanks, Martin References: [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F12_Artwork [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design/Release_Artwork_Process [3] http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-12/f-12-design-tasks.html

background idea
by angella inzinga 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

I was thinking while the literal moisac idea is beautiful, abstracting the idea can make for really deep background that can be made less distracting. Here's a texture/color layer I've been playing around with. (as its self it's a bit distracting, but layered over solid it really is pretty). I will waive CC requirements for Fedora use. big image at flickr<http://www.flickr.com/photos/30991136@N04/3710428622/sizes/o/> Angie

Poster request of size 8x3
by sankarshan 20 Jul '09

20 Jul '09

Hi, I have two 8x3 (feet) walls to cover and, I was looking at whether there are any Fedora designs that I can use to make the poster. I could not find anything on the wiki that fits the dimensions. Perhaps I was not looking hard enough. If it matters at all, the background wall color is white and, I'd be a happy camper if I could get a design. /sankarshan -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work Sent from Raleigh, NC, United States

icon requests
by Matthias Clasen 17 Jul '09

17 Jul '09

I tested abrt ( http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ABRTF12 ) again recently, and one of the things that has come out of my review is the need for some icons: https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/38 It would be great to get those done for F12, abrt is close to the point where it starts to be actually useful, so we may consider turning it on by default for F12.

Fedora 12 Design Schedule
by John Poelstra 16 Jul '09

16 Jul '09

Hi Everyone, Thanks to Paul and Máirín for taking time out of their schedule to meet on Friday using Fedora Talk and Gobby. I think we've got a pretty solid schedule now, though there are sure to be a few last goofs to fix. So if you see any let me know. Some of the key ideas for the planning and schedule for this release are to focus on the importance of the wallpaper and iteratively improve it.... making sure it is in the alpha and then releasing updated packaged versions in rawhide each week. In addition to releasing new versions Máirín thought it would help get the word out if people blog about the updated wallpaper each week. So after each of the wallpaper refreshes there is a also a separate task for blogging. I had to remove the individual entries for EACH splash screen. It got too unwieldy when we added an extra iteration for the splashes. Does the design team have a place on their wiki where the keep SOPs or lists of standard work items for each release? I'd be glad to put them there for you. I would also suggest that you create tickets for each of these splash screens so there are clear work items interested people can work on. For ease of reference here is the list: Fullscreen splash for syslinux Fullscreen grub splash kdm login screen theme Square splash for anaconda and firstboot gnome splash screen kde splash screen gnome screensaver lock dialog Anaconda horizontal header Firstboot vertical header Start Alpha Freeze Software String Freeze Create Alpha Website Banner Alpha Release Readiness Meeting Alpha Public Availability Package Splash Screens I also noticed that comparing this schedule to Fedora 11 the time frame is a little tighter. For Fedora 12, splash screens are not targeted for completion until the Beta release (previously known as "Preview Release"). I believe the intention here is to target the splashes a little later when hopefully the wallpaper is almost frozen so that splashes don't have to be reworked multiple times. Here is the latest version of the design schedule: http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-12/f-12-design-tasks.html Often it is easier to get a better view of the flow of tasks by loading the iCal version to your favorite calendaring application and browsing from there. It is also a great way to keep reminders handy of important dates: http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-12/f-12-design.ics NOTE: the iCal file does not contain ALL tasks. It only shows milestones (tasks with duration less than or equal to one day). I'm here to help. If there are other tasks or periodic reminders I can set up for your team, let me know. Thanks, John

Release artwork process
by Martin Sourada 14 Jul '09

14 Jul '09

Hi all, based on a discussion in another thread, I've put together a skeleton DRAFT of our new release artwork process [1] so that we have something to work with. I was pretty brief with the wording, so it will probably need an expansion. Feel free to add your comments/edits/... :-) The ultimate goal is to get it finished and officially accepted sometime around FUDCon so that we can start on next release using this new process. I think it would also be useful to also keep release specific sub-pages with exact dates and perhaps a task list (can be a reference to a milestone in our ticket system) included.
