F12 Theme Selection Meeting Summary
by Martin Sourada 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hi all, we've held a fruitful meeting with these conclusions: * We'll move Constantine Statue back to extras, also raised concern about it including a sword * The Constantine theme will be based on (perspective) mosaico with elements added from underwater mosaic * KDE Alpha (if the packages get tagged in time) will have slideshow like we have in GNOME, if it's not working reliably, it will have mosaico * For Friday we target [1], if it's not ready we'll go with [2] * we haven't decided about alpha release banner design, but narrowed the selection to [3] and [4] Full logs are at: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2009-08-10/fedora-design.200… Thanks to anyone who participated in the meeting.

Wallpapers guidelines draft
by William Jon McCann 10 Aug '09

10 Aug '09

Hey, So as we discussed on IRC. Attached is a draft of some guidelines for artwork submissions and specifically desktop background contributions. Parts of it are derived from the existing guidelines [1]. I'm hoping this will help us: * Clearly define the legal rules for submitted works * Give some more explicit guidance to potential contributors * Establish some general guidelines to frame the decision making process What do you think? Thanks, Jon [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork#Fedora_Artwork_Guidelines

09 Aug '09

Hi, I'm reminding everyone that we'll be holding an IRC meeting tomorrow. The TPO are: * Mon 2009-08-10 UTC 16:00; to convert to your local time use e.g.: $ date -d '2009-08-10 UTC 16:00' * #fedora-design at irc.freenode.net * F12 Theme Selection If by any chance I could not be present (my inet connections has been somewhat bumpy lately), please someone step in and moderate the meeting, and let me know afterwards about the results so that I can update the packages. Once again reminding, if you cannot make it to the meeting, make your opinion known in the thread entitled '[F12 Artwork] Final Wallpaper Concept' so that it will be considered during the meeting. We hope the meeting to be short and in a friendly manner :-) Thanks, Martin

[F12 Artwork] Final Wallpaper Concept
by Martin Sourada 08 Aug '09

08 Aug '09

Hi all, it's about time we discuss which of the three [1][2][3] wallpaper concepts will be used as a base for the Constantine theme. Please bear in mind we are not comparing how evolved each of the designs is, but rather checking the potential of the design. We want a wallpaper that is both nice and suitable for default, not a wallpaper that's awesome and cool but you cannot discern icons/text on half of it. I suggest that people raise their reasons for and against choosing one or another in this thread and we hold a (hopefully) short IRC session next Monday (2009-08-10) to make the final decision. Would 16:00 UTC be a good time for everyone? Don't forget to take into account e.g. the progress that's now happening in another thread about mosaico and any other updates to the mentioned designs. Thanks, Martin References: [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Wallpaper-mosaico6.png [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Fedora12_mosaic-glow_mo.png [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Fedora-wall-jayme-VII.jpg

[Echo Perspective] Presentation and user-desktop
by Kris Thomsen 08 Aug '09

08 Aug '09

Hi Design-team, Echo Perspective artists! My name is Kris Thomsen, I'm 18 years old and from a little country in Northern Europe called Denmark. I have used Linux since 2005 and this year I started to contribute to Fedora - as it is my favorite. I'm the Danish translation maintainer, but now I am almost finished all the translations for Fedora 12 and want another little side-project to contribute to. I have chosed Echo Perspective, as I really liked the first icons Martin S. made. I am new in this area (art, icons and Inkscape) and have worked on the user-desktop icon today and I am now confident enough to show it to you ;-) http://code-geek.baah.dk/Echo/user-desktop-kt.png http://code-geek.baah.dk/Echo/user-desktop-kt.svg Please come with comments on this icon - I hope you like it. Kind Regards -- Kris Thomsen
