system-config-kickstart icon draft
by Danny Stieben 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

Hello everyone, I've already gone ahead and taken one of the tasks in the design service queue and made a draft. I'm pretty happy with the results, but I'm looking to see if you guys are ok with how it looks and if it would fit with the other icons (as the task requests). Anyways, it's attached, so go have a look, and I hope to get some feedback. :) -- Danny Stieben Fedora Ambassador http://www.fedoraproject.org dmaxel(a)fedoraproject.org http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:dmaxel

Introduction
by Danny Stieben 13 Feb '11

13 Feb '11

Hello everyone! My name is Danny Stieben. I live near Dallas, Texas, USA, and I'm currently a junior in high school. I speak English and German, and I'm in my fourth year of high school Spanish. Right now I'm just an Ambassador, but I'm hoping to be a part of the Translation and Design teams. I have a slight dilemma because although I enjoy creating art using tools just as GIMP, hand-drawn artwork is definitely not my thing. However, that hasn't been any hindrance because most people seem to enjoy the artwork that I create. Oh! Before I go off topic, I guess I would describe myself as a free-lance GIMP artist who for the past two or three years made graphics for self-enjoyment or at the request of friends. I'm interested in all forms of graphics, and have a couple reasons for wanting to join the design team. I've always admired the artwork that has been put out by Fedora, and hope I can have a relationship with the team. I get to improve myself based on the art of others, and I can create artwork as well or be a source of ideas that others can improve. I've also had ideas that concerned the "Fedora Insight" project, but I lost touch with what's going on in that area (this might help Máirín remember who I am :P). That's about it, really. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. Also, if you would like to see some examples of my work (if I can find them ;), also send me an email. I don't feel comfortable clogging the mailing list with my attachments just yet. :) -- Danny Stieben Fedora Ambassador http://www.fedoraproject.org dmaxel(a)fedoraproject.org http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:dmaxel

Fedora 15 Wallpaper -- Package Ready but Problems Ahead
by Martin Sourada 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Hi all, the F15 wallpaper package is all ready and sound (it even has a subpackage to add the wallpaper to xfce backdrops chooser for the first time!) however there seems to be some issue with acceptence. I haven't read the logs from yesterday's (Feb 09) meeting (will there be a Mo summary?) but from a glance around the part where my nick was mentioned I gathered gnome guys weren't happy with it... Sideways I was engaged in conversation with Rex Dieter and Kevin Kofler about the new defaults and they aren't happy with it (too Gnomish) as well and as a result they switched for now to kde shipped default wallpaper for KDE [1]... XFCE, LXDE and others that use /usr/share/backgrounds/default.png should use it now as default. To summarize, it seems very unlikely that our wallpaper will be present on desktop and KDE spins for Alpha which is very unfortunate to us. I'm not sure if any discussion about this came to a conclusion in the irc meeting and if so, please enlighten me. So the question posed is: what to do with this situation?

Hi! (introductory email)
by Monika Umba 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

Hi! I am a freelance designer/animator/artworker. I studied Animation and Illustration at Cambridge School of Art (UK) and after graduation I also worked there as an animation assistant. I have recently moved to Swindon, UK and apart from continuing my freelance job I am looking for opportunities to further develop my skills and gain invaluable 'in the business' experience. I have heard about Feodra and thought it would be great to work on projects for this innovative and reputable company. I could be useful making animations/editing videos, designing artwork/logos/webistes/brochures etc. I use the following software: Adobe Photoshop Adobe Illustrator Adobe After Effects Adobe Flash Corel Painter Maya Thanks! Monika PS. My 'design' website is currently under construction, however, you may visit my 'artistic' website www.umbastudio.com

Need help with artwork for Fedora Robotics Suite
by Hedayat Vatankhah 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Dear design team! I'm a member of Fedora Robotics SIG. As you might already know, we are going to provide Fedora Robotics Suite[1] as a Fedora 15 feature. The goal of this suite is to make Fedora a great platform for people who are actively working in Robotics field and also a great platform for learning robotics. We are also planning on providing a Robotics LiveDVD. As a part of this work, we need some artwork for the webpages, some icons and at last for Anaconda (the last one is only needed for the LiveDVD which follows). And I think you can guess how good is our team in arts! ;) Because of this, we decided to contact you. It would be great if you can help us with some needed artwork, so that we can provide a more polished look at the end. Our current requirements are: * Logo for the Robotics Suite * Banner for Robotics Suite to be used on our webpages * Icons for Player utilities and Stage (some robotics applications)(They're not essential to the robotics suite effort, but would be nice to have) * Anaconda and some logo contents, to provide a more customized look for the LiveDVD (again, not necessary with Robotics Suite feature effort; but appreciated) Any help with the above is highly appreciated. :) Thanks, Hedayat [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/RoboticsSuite

Hello
by Brodie McPharlin 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Hi, I can design 2D graphics using GIMP and I also have experience with Blender. I like minimal design, and have interests in philosophy and aesthetics. I am working on a personal website, and I can imagine myself creating pixel art and working on interfaces. I was attracted to Fedora because of its excellent support of multimedia applications and its efficient interface. Let me know if there is a project for me. Brodie McPharlin

Trac tickets email notification
by Jef van Schendel 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Hey all, To me, our Trac ticket queue feels really disconnected from the rest of our work. It's like a completely separate space that nobody keeps track of. It's all out there in the open, which is great and all, but we hardly pay attention to it. Or at least, I know I don't. :) For instance there are a bunch of new tickets that don't have any comments yet, like this one [1], started by jsmith two months ago. We've got two main ways to keep track of new tickets: we can either check the Trac page every day or get notified on IRC. The first one is boring, slow and clunky. The second one relies on people being present in the channel at the exact time a ticket is created. However I believe there are a couple of teams who get new tickets reported to their mailing list. I think Marketing is one of these? Can we start using the same function? I don't want new tickets to be forgotten and leave the reporters without so much as a response.

It's just comps for the group. Once this is done, and the new design team suite cd is compiled, I'm sure there'll be quite a bit to do :) Thanks! Ankur [[User:Ankursinha|FranciscoD]]
