design.next - FAD 2015
by S.Kemter 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Hi, Looking on our team and how it's worked for a while, you'll notice some things going wrong right now. Some changes over time have affected the design team. For example, there are no code names anymore, and fedora.next has shifted how we will organize and ship Fedora. Also, our trac queue contains a lot of open tickets that are very old, and we don't have an organized and consistent way to share design assets (for example, our Fedora People shared account hasn't been used in the past 3 years, and we've tried an art board, Sparkleshare on git, and other solutions but none have stuck yet.) We want to bring some light in that darkness, so Mo and I agreed on trying to get the team together on a FAD. The main purpose for this FAD would be to put a structure in place to help handle our work in the future, and make design team collaboration (and new design team member ramp-up) easy and fun. We think the FAD should happen over a weekend, from 16th - 18th January 2015, to enable more people to be able to come. Since the more active part of the team is mostly US-based right now, we thought its the best idea to do in the US, so the place will be near Boston in Westford, Massachusetts USA at the Red Hat engineering office (we can use the facility for free and have Mo and Ryan on the ground able to help.) What we need now is to know who want to participate, so that we can calculate the costs and arrange an budget for it. Here are the types of things and skillsets we're looking for: - Designers to help create badges, logos, mockups, etc. as requested in the open tickets on our trac queue at https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/report/1 - Designers and other technical folks willing to play around / try out and evaluate different potential design team infrastructure tools and work out ways we can integrate them into our team moving forward. This might involve installing and playing with art boards, coming up with a SparkleShare workflow, or experimenting with Glitter Gallery or any other related kinds of tools that will help us store our assets and share our work with each other. - Anyone familiar with FAS to help us go through our membership list and clean out inactive members and tend to pending requests. - Designers and anyone else willing to participate in brainstorming a solution about Fedora's release artwork process. You can view our draft FAD proposal on the wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_DesignTeam_2014 Please add your name as an interested participant and let us know your location / local airport so we can start putting together a full budget for this event. br gnokii -- make me rich, buy my Inkscape book http://is.gd/yq5OD0 ;)

Help for Software Freedom Day event at Belgaum, India
by praveen patil 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

Dear Design Team I am Praveen Patil from India. I am a physics teacher and have been working with a project ExpEYES <http://www.expeyes.in> as a volunteer and have been involved in FOSS training programs for science teachers. Recently I met volunteers and ambassadors Kushal (who is my mentor), Gnokii, Tuanta and Mario from fedora at FOSSASIA-2014, who inspired me with fedora culture and spirit and helped me to take my first steps with fedora. I am now using fedora and have also created Live DVD with selected science packages for distributing it with ExpEYES. I am conducting free-software awareness programs for science students and teachers in my region. With an objective to educate the science students and general public about the benefits of using high quality FOSS in education and at home, we have planned for a Fedora event to celebrate 'Software Freedom Day' in our city Belgaum. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Belgaum_SFD I am requesting for your help in design of the banners, flyers and fedora stickers for the event. We need one banner on the main stage with a theme of "Software Freedom Day" and separate banners for our Fedora Booth ( where we will be helping people with fedora installation and distribution fedora stickers, flyers,buttons,media disks etc...) Kindly help me with the design of appropriate logo for stickers and fedora flyers and banners. Since this is the first fedora event we are organizing in our area, kindly give us your suggestions to make it better.

Re: [Design-team] wallpaper f21a
by Martin Sourada 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

Hi again, gnokii, I've prepared the package for f21a wallpaper, but while in the middle of making it I realized one tiny problem -- I don't know how to properly call it, since F21 does not have a code name. I'd like to sort this out before submitting the package for review, for now I've called it phoenix, after the wallpaper you sent me. Input welcome, CC-ing jreznik and design-team list. I'll be idling on #design-team at freenode, although I'll be going to sleep in about 2-3 hours. WIP packages here: https://mso.fedorapeople.org/packages/SPECS/phoenix-backgrounds.spec https://mso.fedorapeople.org/packages/SRPMS/phoenix-backgrounds-20.91.0-1.f… https://mso.fedorapeople.org/packages/RPMS/noarch/phoenix-backgrounds-20.91… https://mso.fedorapeople.org/packages/RPMS/noarch/phoenix-backgrounds-base-… https://mso.fedorapeople.org/packages/RPMS/noarch/phoenix-backgrounds-gnome… https://mso.fedorapeople.org/packages/RPMS/noarch/phoenix-backgrounds-kde-2… https://mso.fedorapeople.org/packages/RPMS/noarch/phoenix-backgrounds-mate-… https://mso.fedorapeople.org/packages/RPMS/noarch/phoenix-backgrounds-xfce-… Regards, Martin PS: If anyone could test it out in gnome/kde/mate that would be also welcome, you need the *-base package plus the *-<desktop> one, I've tested it in XFCE. After you install the needed packages, the wallpaper should appear in your desktop's background selector.

Request for invite to the designteam group
by Paul Kuruvilla 15 Aug '14

15 Aug '14

Hi, I'm a GSoC student from India working on the backend of GlitterGallery (I've sent across a few blog posts before, you might remember me :) ). I'm trying to add my blog to Planet Fedora, but I don't have fedorapeople.org space yet as I'm not part of any non-CLA groups. I read the process of joining the designteam group at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_Design_Team - I'm not a 'designer' per se, I'm a web developer. Would a list of my git commits suffice, rather than going through a task on the design list? My username is 'rohitpaulk' If there is anything else I need to do to get an invite, kindly let me know :) Thanks!

supplemental wallpaper f21
by S.Kemter 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Hi, tomorrow ends the submission phase for the supplemental wallpaper for F21. So if you want to submit there is still time left. But I want to give a little overview on the status. There are good and bad things, good things first. *We have more participants - 44 awarded badges instead of 23 but with lesser submissions *We had people creating artwork especially for submitting it vector as image manipulation *We also had people this time submitting free licensed work of others but now the bad things * lesser submissions right now 81 submissions, 4 of them I had to reject. Last time 117 - hope there will come some in but I dont think it will be 36 until tomorrow night * more rejections then as before, it was clearly feelable that badge hunter submitted something to get the badge, there was even copyrighted material submitted *lesser quality, the first submissions was so low level that I really lost all believe, later people like Harald Hoyer submitted and now we should have enough material for 16 good ones. On a lot the motiv is nice and it would be great with just a little bit of work this should be enough for an status overview br gnokii -- make me rich, buy my Inkscape book http://is.gd/yq5OD0 ;)
