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.

Design team story....
by Robyn Bergeron 06 Jul '10

06 Jul '10

Hey there Design folks... Some of you may have seen some of marketing-team's discussion on doing some stories about what's going on in Fedora. It has occurred to me that it would be super cool to do a piece on what the Design team is up to - particularly since we're really at the start of the cycle here, and it's a great time for people to get involved and come up to speed without it being crunch time. :) Here's a bit of what I was thinking (subject to change - feel free to throw your own ideas out!) - * Look at all the different projects / deliverables Design produces throughout the cycle - from concept to shipment of each release. How to get involved. * Tools! What are the tools used - perhaps even talk about Design Suite a bit. * Discuss doing things openly - with open tools, why this is important. * How can non-designers help? Feedback loop, etc. I think it would be great as a four-part series (or... something to that effect), doing interviews with 4 different contributors (ideally, I could get four interviewers too, which would be awesome). It could be some great press-kit type stuff particularly for Design Suite, as well as hopefully assisting your team in picking up a few new contributors, and explaining to others what your process is. (Or even, "Why it's a much better time NOW to make requests, than 2 weeks before release!") As to where it winds up - there are a few options. Other than being a blog series on planet - we could also work with red hat to get it on their press blog, which gets syndicated in some places where planet doesn't; we could turn it into a nice-looking document for press kit, etc., rather than being just "on the wiki" and "in a blog" which aren't as eye-candy. (Oh, the irony - I say we could, and I'd probably be filing the request with design to make the design interview / story look better. haha!) We could even look into maybe doing a magazine piece.... or print + video.... Anyway - thoughts? I can file a ticket if necessary - although most of the "ticket" here is on marketing, rather than design :) I'd be happy to come to the design meeting this week and talk more about it, solicit some interviewees, etc. Shall I put it on the agenda? -Robyn

http://www.bomahy.nl/hylke/blog/announcing-sparkleshare/ I think we should try using this when it's first released! (or the brave can build from git now and give it a try :) ) ~m

Hackergotchi Google SoC labels
by Jef van Schendel 05 Jul '10

05 Jul '10

Hi guys, As described in this ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/55, Planet GNOME uses special "badges" to show who's participating in Google's Summer of Code, and here on Planet Fedora they had FUDCon ribbons to use directly on the hackergotchis. I'm now making a template for future use. What I have in mind is a simple Inkscape file that everyone can open up, and then change the text and the color easily, before adding it to his or her hackergotchi. I've made some simple mock-ups here: http://schendje.fedorapeople.org/HackergotchiBadges/mockup1.png (source is at http://schendje.fedorapeople.org/HackergotchiBadges/try2.svg). This is an example of how they would look on Planet F: http://schendje.fedorapeople.org/HackergotchiBadges/example1.png My intention is to keep them very simple, because space is limited. The middle three columns of "big" badges are 100px wide, which is pretty much the maximum size for a hackergotchi. What do you think so far? I'd be happy to try out and implement some other ideas. :) Jef

document template
by Nelson Marques 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

Dear all, In the nearby future I will need to use some documents to pass on information in alternative formats, namely PDF to support some contents I will share on the wiki. This came up as I was organizing my notes from the last 4 years of school and eventually found many contents I would like to share with Fedora and in general with the free software community. Since my main goal is to make them available for Fedora, I've created a small OpenOffice.org Write Template (which does require mgopen-modata-fonts). I haven't placed it online, so if anyone around wants to share some opinions in order to improve it and make it more consistent with Fedora branding, please feel free to do such. Nelson

Hi all, I have created a little GTK theme based on the Aurora engine. Here is what it looks like: http://www.marcus-moeller.de/share/Fedora_Theme_01.png I tried to make it look visually unique and eye friendly. It fits with the current GNOME icon set. -- Greets Marcus

Fedora 13 Goddard Video - Youtube
by Nelson Marques 30 Jun '10

30 Jun '10

There's the warning on the subject, it's a youtube video. I do not know who made it, I just felt like sharing which I believe to be a very cool video about Fedora 13. I understand we aim for a 'technological' audience, though the message on that video is powerful enough for any audience... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbCO0jT6L3Q nm
