@tatica Both images look nice . The best thing is the backgroud of "Abstract: Floral Mosaic 3". Is a mathematical graphics effect and is very thematically.

Fedora Project Board Design Team Status Meeting [Fwd: Fedora Board Recap 2010-05-20]
by Máirín Duffy 21 May '10

21 May '10

Hello my design rockstar colleagues, Yesterday I was invited to represent our team at a public Fedora Board meeting. In the past couple weeks or so the Board has been setting up meetings with Fedora team representatives, to provide updates on what their team has been working on both for F13 and outside of the release, and to talk about the team's future plans and any ways the Board can help. The log from that meeting is here: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-board-meeting/2010-05-20/fedora_boa… I'd like to give you a summary: OUR STATUS ========== One of our ongoing goals is to get greater community participation in creating the release artwork for Fedora. For F13 we've done quite well. We were able to have artwork checked in the Alpha, the earliest yet. We also had wide participation on the artwork, perhaps the widest yet: - We worked together on a single concept for the wallpaper rather than battling each other, so we had a cooperative and collaborative process for F13. Many, many folks were involved in the ideation and rendering process for the wallpaper, including Luya Tshimbalanga, Charlie Brej, Mel Chua, Samuele Storari, Mola Pahnadayan, and Kyle Baker (new contributor!) - Alexander Smirnov rocked the house with both the small release banner designs, countdown banners, and media artwork - The main banner for release day was designed by Fabian Scherschel (new contributor!) - Martha Benitez contributed additional media art (new contributor!) - Nelson Marques contributed light scribe media art designs (new contributor!) - Tatica Leandro and myself designed the release party poster - I did only the firstboot and anaconda splashes on my own! Of course we can always improve and of course we can always use more contributors but I think we did ourselves pretty proud this release, so congrats everybody!!! OUR FUTURE ========== I think you'll agree our biggest challenges for the future are: - retaining our current talent - recruiting more talent - continuing to pump out awesome artwork using FLOSS tools, improving our reputation. - spreading the usage of FLOSS creative tools and assets! Recently Red Hat hired an extremely talented new visual designer, Kyle Baker, who you've met here on the list before. Kyle's background is in design - he does not have a technical background - and his experience is from using Adobe products (as much as we hate it, the current industry standard.) However, Kyle is excited to be contributing to free & open source software and is interested in converting over to the FLOSS design tools that we use - so he is highly motivated to make the jump. That being said, through the process of trying to get him set up to join in our community and start contributing to some of the things that we do, we've gained a fresh perspective on just how hard it is for talented folks who really want to help our cause but have the technical chops of a designer. Actually, I think Kyle has a lot more tech knowledge than a lot of typical designers. With the Board then I brought up the three challenges designers face in trying to join our team: 1 - Most designers are familiar with the Adobe tools. Our tools are foreign to them and will take time to ramp up on. 2 - Open source and free licensing, especially for imagery/content and fonts, is complicated. Designers need to understand the licenses we work with in order to contribute effectively. 3 - The workflow we follow and the tools we use to collaborate are foreign to most designers. Initial setup is the most difficult - ssh keys, learning trac, learning mediawiki, learning how to use a mailing list, IRC, sshing into fedorapeople.org to make a .planet file, mounting our shared drive on fedorapeopleorg - each one is not too bad on its own, but pile them up together and you have a mess. We don't have any choice on #2.... we have a little bit of wiggle room with #1 on how strict we decide to be. #3, however, seems like it hurts all of us to no good end and it seems to be something maybe we as a community could solve. The bulk of the log with the Board is discussion of these problems and how we might solve them. Kyle and I had a brainstorming session on this yesterday morning; we were thinking maybe some kind of single webui front end to some of the tools we already use might help alleviate the problem. Kyle just posted an awesome blog post on our ideas to Planet Fedora today, check it out here: http://blogs.fedoraproject.org/wp/kybaker/2010/05/21/creative-open-sorcery/ What do you think? Ideas?

F13 Lightscribe Templates

>From Nelson! ~m -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Nelson Marques <07721(a)ipam.pt> To: duffy(a)fedoraproject.org Subject: Lightscribe Date: Sun, 16 May 2010 17:16:53 +0100 Hi, http://nmarques.fedorapeople.org/fedora/goddard-lightscribe/ http://fedora-art.org/content/show.php/Fedora+Goddard +Lightscribe?content=124835 I've made that and tested it with several applications and it actually works out. There's no stars (points) printing though. I'm not advertising this in any way, so feel free to do whatever or eventually if someone wants to pull out a nicer one, go for it. I'm not sure how people face proprietary stuff like Lightscribe, but I would leave a personal note that it could be fun that your team could provide an "official" for those who have access to that technology, since it's becoming popular. Thanks in advance, nelson

f13 release poster
by Máirín Duffy 19 May '10

19 May '10

Hi folks, Is anyone interested in designing a release party poster for F13? Here's some examples of ones that have been done in the past: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:FedoraEvents_ReleaseParty_F9_Patras_f9-… https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:F10_release_party_poster.png I think it would be good to have a design that isn't specifically tied to F13's theme, or for which the artwork could easily be swapped out for the next release so we don't need to come up with a new design every time. Can anybody take this? ~m

Hi all, We're at that point again where I need to get the F13 Media Art so I an make the order for the North American (and LATAM) media. I need to place this order by tomorrow so I wanted to get the media art up on the appropriate wiki page. I assume that is still https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MediaArt. Who might be able to help me get this sorted out? Cheers, Clint
