F13 spin websites: done!
by Mel Chua 05 May '10

05 May '10

All right - it's freeze day, and I *believe* we're good to ship. Fresh eyeballs welcome; I've been staring at these pages way too long. http://spins.fedoraproject.org/moblin http://spins.fedoraproject.org/security http://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas http://spins.fedoraproject.org/design I've also added these (and tweaked the content on) the talking points, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_13_Talking_Points#Spins, which are now done and ready to ship to Ambassadors (Marketing team, take note!) I've checked each page for content, banner, and at least a main screenshot on the front page. The final changes (screenshots for soas and design) are syncing now but should be up in an hour or so. The screenshot (actually an action shot) for design has slightly offset text when you click the image to enlarge it, but it's still legible (and I couldn't figure out how to fix it), so... all right. I talked with Sijis in #fedora-websites tonight and he explained that he'll filter content automagically on release day so the correct spins (with their smaller banners) will show up on the main spins.fp.o page, and that download links are similarly automagically created then. Thank you to Sijis for his patient help in all things related to the website build system, Joerg for making the Security spin site totally shine, Peter for Moblin spin content corrections, Sebastian for screenshots and template change-merging ninjahood, Mo for design advice and the Design spin action shot, Melanie (first time Fedora/Design contributor) for creating all the banners that we needed at the last moment, the Allegheny crew for being game and helping us discover our need for http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Spin_webpage_creation_SOP (which, btw, could use some help now that we know the answer to "how do you make a spin page?" is "it takes too long"), Ian for copyediting and trademark reminders, and... well, if I've forgotten anyone, please holler. :) --Mel

Ticket #130 -- finished?
by Shannon Wade 03 May '10

03 May '10

Hello! I'm a student at Allegheny College helping with the Fedora project, and I'm wondering what the next step is now that I've completed designs for Ticket #130- Fedora Project in Africa Logo. I made them using GIMP and you can view them under "attachments" at https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/130. So...does anyone have comments or suggestions? Or is the ticket done? I'm sorry if I'm spamming the mailing list, I'm just not sure what the next step is here. Thanks so much! ~Shannon Wade

Sparks hackergotchi ready - a proposal
by Pierros Papadeas 03 May '10

03 May '10

Hi all and Sparks! Making sparks' hackergotchi [1] made me think on the current standard within planet fedora on hackegotchis.. The current suggestion is 80x80 pixels png pic. But many times this results to not nice pictures and sharpening them does not help a lot. Considering that most people nowadays use big resolutions on their screens I am proposing to change that 80x80 to 100x100 or even better on 120x120 As a matter of fact I made one such pic [2] (enhancing also the fedora logo :) ). If this change is made then we could probably use the new hackergotchis in our wiki user pages as a global policy and in the upcoming community portal :) See ya! ~π [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Hackergotchi-sparks.png [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Hackergotchi-sparks-2.png -- Pierros Papadeas PGP key: 0x6130DBF8 http://pierros.papadeas.gr pierros(a)papadeas.gr liknus @ GRnet , Freenode

Nothing right now, really - I mostly included the spin owners for the specific pages we were working on so that you folks would be in the loop. Sorry for the confusion. I do agree we need a clearer workflow/division-of-responsibilities for spin pages, though. There was more confusion this time than there probably needs to be. There are some notes in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Spin_webpage_creation_SOP that could be cleaned up and improved, and perhaps documentation of a workflow could go there as well. --Mel

Allegheny students invite you to their release party
by Mel Chua 03 May '10

03 May '10

Students from Allegheny Activism And Fedora will be having an end-of-semester (and early F13 celebration) party on May 4, 2010 from 11-noon EST. They'd like to invite the Fedora community to join them - virtually! We'll be hanging out in #allegheny - feel free to ping me (mchua) with any questions on the day of. If you're around, would like a ping, and generally want to hang out with the crew, list your availability for Skype, IRC, or both, and we will ping you on the day of the party. (Yes, we know Skype is non-Free... if you have a better alternative, we'd love to hear it, but we really need a simple-to-set-up (for the professors) and fairly reliable video link.) More details and sign-up: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Allegheny_Activism:_Release_party_visit_sche… Hope to see y'all there! --Mel

F13 spin websites: home stretch
by Mel Chua 02 May '10

02 May '10

This is what I believe to be the remaining tasks to get the 4 new spin pages to v.1.0 for the F13 release, in order of how close they are to shippable. Copying spin owners here as well. The urgent thing here that we don't already have covered is the banners - so copying the design team also, with a plea to look at https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/132. We may have a newcomer who can take a shot at it, but they will need guidance if so (and we'll find out tomorrow whether they can help in time). Freeze is Tuesday, so I believe that is the deadline we are shooting for (what time on Tuesday, in what timezone?) --Mel == Security == http://spins.fedoraproject.org/security/ (hurrah updated screenshot!) * downloads need to be made available via http://spins.fedoraproject.org/security/#downloads * we may want to point http://spins.fedoraproject.org/security/#support towards more security-specific locations (however, it's not bad if this section ships as-is) == Moblin == http://spins.fedoraproject.org/moblin/ * needs banner, images (https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/132) * new content in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Moblin_Spin#Spin_description needs to be pushed to the main page * new content in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Moblin_Spin#About needs to be pushed to "about" tab, with screenshots added * downloads need to be made available via http://spins.fedoraproject.org/moblin/#downloads == SoaS == http://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas/ * needs banner, images (https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/132) * downloads need to be made available via http://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas/#downloads, with a link out to "how to put this on your thumbdrive" instructions == Design == http://spins.fedoraproject.org/design/ * needs banner, images (https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/132) * needs screenshot for front page * needs About text written, pushed to "about" tab, preferably with screenshots * downloads need to be made available via http://spins.fedoraproject.org/design/#downloads (also, fix typos) * we may want to add text, or a link to a wiki page, about joining the Design team in the "Support" tab (however, it's not bad if this section ships as-is)
