Banner test: mosaico perspective
by María Leandro 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Hello. I'm working on some test with the mosaico wallpaper I made. (perspective and lanscaping mix) and this banner (really simple) came to me: http://tatica.fedorapeople.org/Themes/fedora12-banner_1.png svg source: http://tatica.fedorapeople.org/Themes/fedora12-banner.svg -- tatica Maria Gracia Leandro http://www.tatica.org http://www.fedora-ve.org http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MariaLeandro LinuxUser= 440285 GPG Public Key: E1CDCC56 "Be yourself...

mosaico perspective mockups
by Máirín Duffy 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Hi! As per Paul's suggestion to try to modify the perspective of María's mosaico designs to make it vibrate a little less with icons on the desktop, I did some experimentation today in Inkscape with perspective. http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/temp/f12%20mosaic/ The source SVG is in the directory as well. The two gimp ones I just poked around at in the gimp, I didn't do too much with them so I didn't bother uploading the source. ~m

Fedora Design Spin
by Martin Sourada 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Hi, I'm not very much up to date with this... What has happened to the Art Studio spin (or whatever it was called) we were trying to make? I've just seen a message on desktop-list proposing dropping gimp from Desktop Spin (the infamous size issues), so it would probably make sense to resurrect the idea of having a spin for (not only) Fedora designers with all the apps we use, like gimp, inkscape, blender, scribus, etc. possibly with also useful content like templates, brushes, etc. Martin

[F12 Artwork] Constantine backgrounds packages
by Martin Sourada 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Hi all, I've just put together initial packages containing the Constantine wallpapers I consider (based on the feedback we received) to be "worth" putting in for Alpha. There is constantine-backgrounds package [1] which contains tatica's mocaico and Mo's and Nicu's underwater mosaic, both as slide-show (switching between those two once twice per hour) and separately. Next there is constantine-backgrounds-extras package [2] which contains Samuele's 4flowers and 4horses, Jayme's Constantine Statue, Charlie's bird mosaic and tatica's pruebas and freedom. I've created 16:10 and 4:3 versions for all the included images in 1600x1000, resp. 1600x1200 resolution. The desire is to select one of those two in constantine-backgrounds to be the F12's default, and in the extras package we'll put four selected designs, chosen from either the two packages or from external sources. If these packages are OK with everyone -- I'd especially like people to test it on 4:3 screens as I have only 16:10 and to check if I hadn't omitted some popular design -- I'll submit them for inclusion in Fedora. Thanks, Martin References: [1] http://mso.fedorapeople.org/packages/RPMS/noarch/constantine-backgrounds-11… [2] http://mso.fedorapeople.org/packages/RPMS/noarch/constantine-backgrounds-ex…

Final wallpaper selection
by Paul W. Frields 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

According to the Design schedule[1], today is the day to have the Alpha wallpapers bundled up in a package. I believe Martin said that he could do the packaging, but was waiting on a selection by the team. If I'm not mistaken, the things that need to happen are: * The team needs to decide on a selection of wallpaper for the F12 Alpha release today. * Ensure Martin knows the selection and packages the selection(s) into Rawhide, replacing the Leonidas backgrounds, if possible, to save space. Did I correctly capture everything? Paul

Fwd: Re: [Fedora-legal-list] License for wallpapers in old Fedora releases
by Nicu Buculei 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

Here is the reply I received after asking for a license change for the wallpapers in old Fedora versions: -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Fedora-legal-list] License for wallpapers in old Fedora releases Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2009 15:03:19 -0400 From: Tom "spot" Callaway On 07/24/2009 11:28 AM, Nicu Buculei wrote: > At the Design-Team we figured it would be handy to provide (perhaps in a > gallery) wallpapers from the old releases, so the users who liked them > can have a handy access at the images.

So, I should have caught this initially, but Red Hat Legal noticed that all of these images contain the Fedora logo. Accordingly, we can't permit these images to be released under a license which permits modification. So, this means there are two options remaining: 1. We can package up these backgrounds with a license identical to that of the fedora-logos package (basically, right to use, copy, and redistribute, but not modify, with some extra conditions around the Fedora marks). 2. We could take the images and remove the Fedora trademarks from them and release them under a Creative Commons license. Or, we could do both. Let me know what you think, ~spot ------ End Original Message ------ My take: 1. we though mainly about making those available on the web, i think it would be confusing to add various clauses to the license, which very few people will read, understand or care about. it would be preferable to go with a simpler route. 2. we can remove the trademarks only if we have access to the sources, which i am not sure is the case for all the images. with some, like FC6 NDA it may be impossible to remove everything and still retain a good looking image (or it may be, since what we have there is not complying with the guidelines anyway, so what is in there can't be our trademark). -- nicu
