GIMP 2.7/2.8 in Fedora?
by Valent Turkovic 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

I there a way to test new GIMP 2.7/2.8 in Fedora? I looked in Rawhide repos and I still see only 2.6x versions there. Any plans to put 2.7 in Rawhide repost for testing purposes? -- pratite me na twitteru - www.twitter.com/valentt http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.

Default Wallpaper for Goddard F13
by Onyeibo Oku 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

I've been following the posts on this subject and here is what I am thinking: What if its an outer space scene with stars (having animated twinkles ... for the boot-up background image)? There would be asteriods and, may be, one or two planets with 'our' rocket somewhere in the picture. The scene would have a blueish hue to it. Its the kind of thing that is best done with a 3D application like 'Blender' and rendered with V-Ray or Yafray (and retouched in GIMP). I cannot help thinking about a wallpaper I downloaded from CG-Arena ... just to help our imaginations as I can't think of anything closer at the moment. My reference is a bit busy but I hope it paints the right mental pictures.

Hi, Why don't you make something abstract (light, time and space, and eventually something digital). My current background looks like this (see the Attachment, pls.). Well, it may not be Everest, but stays pretty well with the icons and the control panels and the frame of the monitor (the 'whole picture').

by Ankur Sinha 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

hey, I've made some mockups for the fedora-tour app. we're working on. It's really amateur stuff <embarrassed /> but hopefully enough to get the idea across. The real intention is to get you great people to criticize them as much as possible ;) Please take some time out from your busy schedules and have a look :) The links: the main tour menu: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-tour/browser/frontend1/mockups/tour2.png?re… Main page: 1st page of the selected tour: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-tour/browser/frontend1/mockups/tour%202% 20main1.png?rev=898c5904e1967dc0f7becf4328224e0a86426976 Other pages of the tours: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-tour/browser/frontend1/mockups/tour2% 20main2.png?rev=898c5904e1967dc0f7becf4328224e0a86426976 All files with their svg sources are here: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-tour/changeset/898c5904e1967dc0f7becf432822… The splash(I've already coded this, its a screen shot): https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-tour/browser/frontend1/mockups/Screenshot-F… Please point out as many changes as you want to!! We really wont mind revamping the entire thing too. regards, Ankur (franciscod)

Marketing team seeks Design advice: FAD tools (brand book)
by Mel Chua 24 Jan '10

24 Jan '10

O design team: The Marketing team is having a FAD in mid-March (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010) and as part of this FAD we are making a brand book (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Day_2_.28Sunday.2C_March_…). We're trying to figure out what (software) tools (and people who know how to use them) we should have on hand during the FAD, and were wondering if the Design Team had any recommendations (or better yet, any people who might be interested in tag-teaming on the brand book with us. ;) We'll be on IRC the entire time - if it helps, we could schedule an hour of design brainstorming at the beginning, and then later in the NA afternoon after we get content in, come back for another design sprint on how we could best lay it out and such. But we /will/ be on IRC the entire time, and anyone's welcome to pop in and work with us anytime during that day they're free. The list we have so far is at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Materials_.2F_Tools - it's basically "Inkscape and Scribus?" at the moment. What else would you suggest? Should we do what we did for https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_12_one_page_release_notes and put the content on the wiki as we work? Is Gobby better? Should we try for collaborative Inkscape? (What questions should we actually be asking here?) Many thanks, --Mel

Firefox Personas
by Max Spevack 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Hey design team, This email is the result of me just wandering around addons.mozilla.org for a while looking for anything interesting. I'm curious if you've seen these Fedora-related personas for Firefox. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=fedora&cat=personas&appid… Couple of thoughts: (1) It might be cool for the Fedora Design Team to make some official ones for either different versions and/or spins of Fedora. (2) There might be some recruiting fodder in here, to invite some of these designers to join the team. The information below is what I found on Google: http://www.getpersonas.com/gallery/designer/pshevtsov -- has written in to Ask Fedora a few times in Fedora Weekly News. http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/designer/dfragnul -- couldn't really find anything. http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/designer/magjogui -- already a Fedora contributor (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Magjogui) and on the Cc. http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/Designer/Kenshin__ -- the page says "Open-source Artworker" http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/designer/marvin5700 -- Google doesn't actually show much. Gotta love the internets. --Max

Firefox Personas
by Sebastien 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Hi ! I received a mail from the fedora-fr forum about this topic speaking about Fedora's Firefox Personas. I'm one of these artworkers, and I designed the Personas "Fedora-fr". I'll be glad to help the Fedora Artwork Team. :) About me, I'm a 19 years old french Fedora lover, and my skills with Gimp are very limited...but I would like to be better. :) Let's visit my website and/or my Twitter account : http://gyakusatsu.free.fr/geek-blog/ http://twitter.com/Kenshin__ See you.

Re: [Design-team] Black Holes

While I like the awe the black-hole pictures create ... I don't know why I get the 'debian' feeling.

Hi, If you intend to design 'black holes' maybe it should be compensated with bursting of a supernova or anything of the kind. (see attachment, pls.) Otherwise the picture stays 'unbalanced'.
