Request to join the Design Team
by Adam Saunders 28 Sep '13

28 Sep '13

Hello, I was working on Ticket #214 (https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/214), and the reporter recently closed the ticket, satisfied with my work. May I please join the Design Team? Onyeibo did offer constructive criticism of how the image I made could be improved; however, the reporter was satisfied with it. I'd be happy to make those improvements if the Team would like to see them before making a decision. Thank you very much for your consideration. Adam Saunders

Gee, thanks for the shirt folks :-p
by T.C. Hollingsworth 24 Sep '13

I just got the "I unpacked F19" shirt in the mail as thanks for my QA efforts. I decided to wear it while going out with friends tonight, and of course I ended up having to try to explain what the whole Schrödinger's Cat experiment is about (not to mention what this Fedora thing is) at least a dozen times. >:-( Seriously though, my roommate (who is far more artsy than I) said she absolutely loves your kitty drawing (and even tried to steal my shirt from me!), so I just wanted to pass her kudos along to whoever drew it. Thanks for all your awesome work! -T.C.

Re: [Design-team] Different Backgrounds for the Lock Screen vs the desktop

If we do go for two backgrounds, it seems like the locked screen is a place where we can be more flashy (for example, making the Fedora logo more prominent) in a way which would be distracting on the desktop background. -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org>

fedora.next visualization help?
by Matthew Miller 12 Sep '13

12 Sep '13

Hello design people! It looks like Fedora.next is going to be A Thing -- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora.next/boardproposal With the integration of Stephen Gallagher's three-target-products idea, I think this has moved beyond the previous visualization (which involved me drawing concentric circles). And the link above is only the board-level view; when we get down to the technical details it gets even more complicated. Can you help me paint a picture (and maybe through doing that refine how everything really fits together)? -- Matthew Miller ☁☁☁ Fedora Cloud Architect ☁☁☁ <mattdm(a)fedoraproject.org>

Gathering a list of tutorials related to design stuff
by Luya Tshimbalanga 11 Sep '13

I created a wiki page to list tutorials for design stuff including video. The idea is to set up a bookmark for Design Suite. The page is located on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design_Suite_Planning/Tutorials#List_of_usef… Luya

Maybe we can just pull out the pink color and make it a grey or blue fan. ~m

Fwd: 10th Anniversary of the Fedora Project
by Máirín Duffy 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

Might be interesting to tie this into the F20 alpha wallpaper... 10 x 2 = 20... e.g. like inkscaper's design? http://inkscaper.fedorapeople.org/Fedora20/mockup/F20-mockup-XX-5.png ~m -------- Original Message -------- From: inode0 <inode0(a)gmail.com> To: For discussions about marketing and expanding the Fedora user base Just a quick reminder that the next anniversary is approaching fast! https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/advisory-board/2012-August/011809… It would be great to get some press around this one since we missed out on the Fedora Community anniversary. It is less than 4 weeks away now. I know some people had plans to do something around this milestone but haven't heard anything lately (although I don't really keep close tabs on what is going on here so I may have missed lots of stuff).

Plans for Nuancier: A Fedora Wallpapers Voting App
by Toshio Kuratomi 09 Sep '13

09 Sep '13

At flock, a few people talked about a new web application for voting on wallpapers. Jenneh produced some mockups and we discussed how we might go about implementing them in time to do wallpaper voting for F20 or F21 in the new app. For those new or returning to this, I'm posting this as a short summary of where various bits are and what's currently done and (/me crosses fingers) hopefully achievable: One idea at flock was to have something based on the mockups deployable in time for the wallpaper voting. At flock we talked about whether we could create something that just implemented the parts that made the ballot and voting smooth for people using the application and worrying about the rest of the app (notably, the admin interface and submitting the wallpapers) until later so that we could get it out in time for the next election. This would be somewhat tight scheduling but pingou's been working on some code and he thinks we can hit that deadline. After the initial rush is off, we would want to try to finish the other parts of the interface and release all of that as nuancier. We would also start to think about how to share code between nuancier and the new elections application that fchiulli has been working on at this time -- whether that would be to merge the two together or to move some code into a library that either application could access... We're not sure precisely whether tight or lose coupling of the two is the best plan but there's definitely room to share some of the implementation. We currently have two repos of direct concern to the application: * https://github.com/fedora-infra/nuancier * https://github.com/fedora-infra/nuancier-lite The nuancier repo has the mockups. I think we're eventually going to want to merge everything into this repo. The nuancier-lite repo has pingou's work to implement the minimal interface that we'll need if we're going to deploy in time for F20 voting. There's also the new elections code (rewritten from TurboGears1 to flask) if anyone wants to consider sharing code/theming/etc -- but that's a little ways off yet (we won't be merging anything in time for F20's wallpaper election). It lives here: * https://github.com/fedora-infra/elections -Toshio

Different Backgrounds for the Lock Screen vs the desktop
by Ryan Lerch 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

The new GNOME shipped with fedora 20 has the awesome new ability to set different backgrounds for both the lock screen/shield and the normal regular desktop background. Currently in f20 alpha TC4, we set the old f19 default background for the desktop, and a completely different pink, fan style design for the lock screen. IMHO, the defaults should behave the same as the f19, setting the default background for both. thoughts? cheers, ryanlerch
