fedora 18 sleeves
by Sirko Kemter 20 Nov '12

20 Nov '12

Hallo, Alexander drives forward the banners, but there are other things on our action list we have to deliver soon. Until 30th we should have the sleeves ready and also the release party poster. So its also time to work on that. I trying since 3 day to create a design for the sleeves. Thats how it looks now. I am not so happy with the group photo on the backside, the blue shirts and the shape is not so nice. But there is no better one. From FUDCon KL there is only one such group photo there but there is directly in the front some handrails. So hopefully there comes a nice one from Paris. So I am open for critics now... br gnokii

plymouth themes for Fedora 18?
by Zoltan Hoppar 03 Nov '12

03 Nov '12

Hi, I would like to know that possible to see/create extra plymouth themes for fedora? If yes, how - because the original theming guide is unusable. http://brej.org/blog/?p=158 Second question - how can I play the plymouth splash without rebooting after graphics update? Thanks, Zoltanh721 -- PGP: 06853DF7

Attribution question

Hi if we want to use a Spherical Cox wallpaper as the basis for a Spin wallpaper, what is the correct way to attribute the original authors? (file:///usr/share/backgrounds/spherical-cow/default/standard/spherical-cow.png ) Similarly, we may base a desktop KDE theme on a previous one, a KSplash theme using some standard KDE / Fedora icons thanks Brendan

Si necesitas Ayuda para un afiche para el evento en Medellín, con gusto te ayudaría. Sería muy interesante hacer un evento de esos en Bucaramanga, para cuando llegue Fedora 18 (11 DIC).

Hi all, this is Matthew Whittle

Hi everyone, Here is a little about me. My name is Matthew Whittle and I currently work as a senior application developer at VSP (Vision Service Plan) - it is eye insurance. I have a lovely wife and no kids (yet!). We live in Sacramento California in the US and I heard about this project through someone at JBoss at the JavaOne conference in San Francisco. At my current work I develop backend services for our membership using Java and Websphere and for fun I develop games for the iPhone (I have about 8 out now). I have been using Fedora at home for about 5 years now. I joined this group because I have a desire to build a 3D operating system. By tomorrow. Just kidding. Yes I know that is a huge task but I thought I could start small by making a 3D desktop background... or maybe I should start even smaller. But at least you know my short and long term goals. My IRC handle I believe is MattWhCaUs (it is the nickname I used) Cool beans - looking forward to hearing from y'all. Cheers, Matthew Whittle
