design for Fedora Summer Coding 2010
by Karsten Wade 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

Hopefully you have heard by now that we are doing our own summer coding program starting this year. ;-) https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_Coding_2010 Is anyone interested in working on design for this? One exciting challenge is that we are focusing on coding this summer, but there is interest in non-coding programs -- design and documentation and l10n -- sort of a summer of content. Any design work now should think about that future. We also want to run again during summer in the Southern Hemisphere (Sep to Feb), so it might be an ongoing program, with one run every six months. Ideas we've had so far include: * A logo * Program-specific website (built on current www.fp.org framework) * e.g. summercoding.fedoraproject.org * Posters for school campuses. * T-shirts for participants (mentors, students, etc.) I filed a main tracking ticket just in case.[1] If folks are interested in this work, we can make individual tickets for each item. (Right plan?) You may know that Google does a whole design theme every year, and we can adopt that platform. Other programs doing a similar thing are building on Google's past work: http://rubysoc.org Let us know what you think.

I put the link there for ease. - text needs to be updated to reflect F13 - links need to be updated to correct locations (i've put in #! as link location fillers) Note that we are purposely leaving out the header and footer as in the mockup. Those pieces are related more to the complete fp.o site redesign. Thanks again for the help, Sijis

New Icons for Fedora 13?
by Kris Thomsen 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

Hi, I have just installed Fedora 13 on another computer to test it. And when I open up Nautilus and Firefox I see totally new arrow icons and such. Are they gonna be there for real in the final release? I really think they are SO ugly compared to the old icons :D // Kris

disabling anonymous tickets

We got two spam tickets in our Trac system over the past couple of days by anonymous users. I went ahead and revoked the ability for anonymous users to create a ticket.

My New Linux Project :)
by Manuel Escudero 11 Apr '10

11 Apr '10

* Hi Fedora People! I've been working on a new Linux project that might be interesting for some of you and other Linux Users in the world, so with this mail, I want to introduce you to my new Linux project, it's called "Tux-Cellar" and it's some kind of Search Engine for Linux Binaries, it also has other features, such as a Wiki, Chat Room, Forum and a Community System based on Google Friend Connect. I built this webapp because I saw that many New Linux Users still want to install software in their distros with a simple double-click (Mostly Windows Newbies, because they're used to "exe's work") and with this app I pretend to make "binaries finding" easier for the users of different distros. Tux-Cellar lets you search, find and download ".deb" , ".rpm" , "apticons" and many other software files for Linux, it uses databases like Debian's/Ubuntu's ones for DEBS, RpmFind and Suse's Factory for RPMS. For DEBS and APTICONS (Fedora's and Ubuntu's Ones) I had to create Custom Search Engines, Meanwhile for RPMS I used the "famous ones" mentioned above. One of the goals I have for this app is to build a Community around it, so I included Google's Social Features for that. I've nothing more to say but Goodbye, I invite you to check out the app at: http://www.tuxcellar.tk/ Also, I invite you to vote for it in GAE's App Gallery at: http://goo.gl/rGNr And if you speak spanish, you can read the official blog announcement at: http://goo.gl/gAtU P.S. Hope you like this app and I also hope you to join to the app's community and to fill in the feedback survey I made, this with the goal of build toguether a better Tux-Cellar Service for all the users around the world JM :) *

Fedora UX design
by Paul W. Frields 08 Apr '10

08 Apr '10

Hi Design team, I've been working on a write up for the strategic working group regarding UX design, and I want to make sure I'm clearly stating the role of the Fedora Design team and how they interact with other groups. The page I wrote is posted here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pfrields/Desktop_user_experience_design… Are there places in that page where I could more explicitly outline the work the Design team does regularly with other teams that affects the look and feel of the Fedora distribution? -- Paul W.
