27 Oct 2021 Fedora Design team meeting minutes
by Máirín Duffy 28 Oct '21

28 Oct '21

Hi everyone! We had a Matrix meeting yesterday instead of a video meeting. Zodbot wasn't working at the time so these are copy/paste from matrix minutes. Here's a quick summary / table of contents: 1. Some news about using Penpot.app as a design tool (being used in upcoming Fedora main website redesign) - message Mo with your email address if you'd like an invite to the Fedora Design team on that app 2. The Fedora 35 Release party is coming up and the design team is invited, please come :) https://hopin.com/events/fedora-linux-35-release-party/registration 3. Ticket triage: - New logo for discussion.fpo - Fedora Logo fil efor authenticatorpro - Accessible Fedora color palette available in pagure tickets now - We have a bunch of new logo t-shirt tickets open that would be great for new contributors to look at if anybody is looking for smtg to work on - The F36 artwork kickoff blog post is live, thanks Madeline! Madeline and Mo will work on getting it on the Fedora Community Blog as well, read to learn how you can participate in the creation of F36's wallpaper artwork: https://www.madelinepeck.com/blog/2021/10/25/fedora-36 Full log below ~m Máirín Duffy So I just got off a call that you were on too riecatnor about planning for the new Fedora website I think something I wanted to talk about today in light of that is this penpot tool I dont remember if I've brought it up here before It's an open source UI design tool, it's written by the people who make Taiga if you know about that I created a team on there and if you'd like an invite DM me your email address (I also posted about it on the design-team list a while back) riecatnor@riecatnor:fedora.im I have yet to use penpot but it looks rad Máirín Duffy We are going to be using it to manage the wireframes & mockups for the new fedora website riecatnor@riecatnor:fedora.im oh yes, I would like to join that Máirín Duffy cool let me get you added now ok i just sent you an invite riecatnor@riecatnor:fedora.im cool thank you! Máirín Duffy one thing that is really cool about it is that it lets you do click-thru mockups The other thing that's cool is web devs can grab the color codes, font names, font sizes, etc etc from the mockups directly for their css and one more is that you can attach comments directly to spots on the design to ask contextual questions etc so im hoping it'll work out, i've been using it for the ChRIS project mockups and recently some anaconda design work and so far it's worked well I think that is all I had to today. Basically - new website design coming, penpot is the tool i'm using, if you wanna get involved let me know! Anyone else have anything? we could take a look at issues if not riecatnor@riecatnor:fedora.im just want to point out that the release party is coming up and the design team is invited :) https://hopin.com/events/fedora-linux-35-release-party/registration Fedora Linux 35 Release Party Get tickets to Fedora Linux 35 Release Party, taking place 12/11/2021 to 13/11/2021. Hopin is your source for engaging events and experiences. and Máirín Duffy will be talking on Friday I should have the schedule out by end of week Máirín Duffy changed the topic to "Sign up for the F35 Release Party!!! https://hopin.com/events/fedora-linux-35-release-party/registration". riecatnor@riecatnor:fedora.im that's it from me :) Máirín Duffy changed the topic to ":tada: Sign up for the F35 Release Party!!! https://hopin.com/events/fedora-linux-35-release-party/registration". Máirín Duffy hold on gotta fix my emoji in the topic lol Máirín Duffy changed the topic to "🎉🎉 Sign up for the F35 Release Party!!! 🎉🎉https://hopin.com/events/fedora-linux-35-release-party/registration". Máirín Duffy Very Important ok tickets then https://pagure.io/design/issue/797 Issue #797: Updated Logo for discussions.fpo - design - Pagure.io design Clone Source Code GIT Documentation GIT Learn more about these different git repos. Other Git URLs Source Docs Issues 101 Pull Requests 1 Roadmap Stats #797 Updated Logo for discussions.fpo Ah this one is ongoing.... so @mattdm updated the logo with these on discussion.fedoraproject.org one oddity is - go here (or any topic) https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedocal-reminder-meeting-council-mee… when you scroll down I have the logo shift to just be the artwork with the Fedora logo inside it because you lose the "Fedora Discussion" logotype due to how discourse works riecatnor@riecatnor:fedora.im cool! Máirín Duffy I think theres a little pixel shift in there I gotta fix but do you think that works? riecatnor@riecatnor:fedora.im yes, I like the shape/composition.. the color in the background, I can't tell if thats supposed to be the same or different as the foreground stroke? Máirín Duffy on minimize it is a gradient but when its full on its the same color as the stroke riecatnor@riecatnor:fedora.im gotcha, I think that is working well. I see we put the two bubbles in for the favicon (?) for the navigation bar that is a bit harder to discern the design Máirín Duffy yeh the favicon has not been optimized at all, it literally is the raw artwork exported at 32x32 or whatever. I need to pixel snap it and make sure its clean but there is a deliberateness in the general design there - matrix has a single speech bubble so i wanted discourse to have the two, and also, the inverse color scheme so across browser tabs you could tell the difference i believe in testing both in the same browser window the distinguishment is good so i just have to get on optimizing and pixel snapping that favicon so it reads more clearly (and tweaking the shapes to that end if necessary) riecatnor@riecatnor:fedora.im all sounds great to me :) Máirín Duffy yay ok next ticket https://pagure.io/design/issue/796 Issue #796: Adding Fedoraproject logo to AuthenticatorPro - design - Pagure.io this one seems pretty straightforward i can probably knock it out right after this so i will https://pagure.io/design/issue/795 Issue #795: Accessible color palette - design - Pagure.io this one i should close. basically just copying work that was done elsewhere so we have it in the tickets for now. eventually id like this in an updated brand guidelines document https://pagure.io/design/issue/790 Issue #790: New Logo T-Shirts for the Cool Stuff Store - design - Pagure.io this is the tshirts one... riecatnor did this come up at the latest mindshare meeting the flip side timezone one riecatnor@riecatnor:fedora.im yes it did everyone was fine with the prioritization it seemed Máirín Duffy ok perfect riecatnor@riecatnor:fedora.im no other major thoughts, I added the note about the ambassadors polos (which will be a straightforward design) Máirín Duffy ok great! 🙂 so probably next step then is to focus on the basic tee and get some candidate designs for that this would probably be a good beginner contributor project to take on ok cool lets see what else https://pagure.io/design/issue/789 Issue #789: Fedora F36 Artwork - design - Pagure.io Madeline Peck: did the blog post on this go out? Madeline Peck it did! I can grab the link (had to duck away from my computer for a hot sec) Máirín Duffy oh sweet, no sweat https://www.madelinepeck.com/blog/2021/10/25/fedora-36 Fedora 36 Wallpaper! — Madeline Peck - Madeline Peck Madeline Peck Oh thank you! Máirín Duffy I'll try to get this in the queue for the community blog. Did you have any ideas for a graphic to go wtih it? the community blog usually requires a graphic when my recent f model post was syndicated it took about a weekt o get it on the schedule, is that a reasonable timeline to throw an image together for it? riecatnor@riecatnor:fedora.im here is the info about the images for the comm blog https://pagure.io/communityblog-images you don't have to use the repo, I usually just add it to my article and call it a day Madeline Peck I thought maybe I could do an illustration of different people baking up new ideas together in a kitchen riecatnor@riecatnor:fedora.im but there are specs there Madeline Peck Unless you have any different ideas? I could make a graphic based off of Deepika too I thought maybe I could do an illustration of different people baking up new ideas together in a kitchen Máirín Duffy If you think you have time / want to. Definitely doesn't have to be original or fancy though! Theres a lot of templates in the community blog dir you can use too Madeline Peck Okay! Máirín Duffy If you could find an open license photo of Deepika that might be a good bet. Or even grab something off pixabay with water in it... just make sure to add a credit line to the graphic eg https://pixabay.com/photos/drop-of-water-drop-impact-ripples-578897/ Madeline Peck okay! sounds like a plan :) Máirín Duffy oh pixabay doesnt require attribution - i'd do it anyway tho sweet - Madeline Peck ping me when you've got the graphic and i'll do the "paper" work to get it in the community blog 🙂 Madeline Peck will do! Máirín Duffy@duffy:fedora.im ok cool at we are at 2 so let's leave it there 🙂 I will send out these minutes in... some form lol to the design-team(a)lists.fedoraproject.org mailing list. Thank you everyone 🙂 🙂 riecatnor@riecatnor:matrix.org Thanks, Mizmo!

PSA: Removals in Fedora Design Team group membership
by Máirín Duffy 25 Oct '21

25 Oct '21

Hi everyone! As a side-effect of sending the F36 wallpaper voting emails out this morning, it turns out we have a number of members of the Fedora Design Team "designteam" FAS group who don't appear to have active FAS accounts anymore. There are a few others whose FAS accounts still appear to be active, but their emails are bouncing. I have reached out to everyone whose email addresses are bouncing to try to get in touch to see if they'd like to stay a member of the team and if I could help update their email address in FAS, or if they'd rather be removed. I feel really badly removing folks without an OK, but the following is a list of folks I couldn't get in touch with. Listing their FAS IDs here in case they might still be subscribed to this list under another email address and want to get in touch to keep their account active. I am planning to remove these accounts from the Fedora Design Team FAS group by October 31: - terezahl - emichan - mrichard - lolgalyulko - affic - saunders Folks I have reached out to via other channels that I am waiting to hear back from: - twohot (reached out via Twitter DM, I do hear from him and expect to be in touch) - maxineb / mbouffard (tried secondary email address) - gnokii (reached out via FB Messenger, I do hear from him and expect to be in touch as well) - ilianaw (reached out via secondary email address) I figure by Oct 31 is plenty of time to get in touch, and it is not difficult to just re-add someone back into the group if they miss that date. Cheers, ~m

Cookie Cutter
by Sirko Kemter 18 Oct '21

18 Oct '21

Hi, Some might have noticed, I write since a while a series for Fedora Magazine on things you can do/make with Inkscape besides graphics (https://fedoramagazine.org/make-more-with-inkscape-stroke-fonts/). There is been planned an article about papercraft/pepakura but I have to delay this one a bit even its up and ready in Fedora Magazine, there must go an article before. There is an extension for creating cookie cutter with Inkscape and openSCAD. Its not a big deal, the Fedora logo was changed in just a few to such a design. Problem is the logo shows not all features of the cookie cutter. I looking for something Fedora related which would have lines not going through. I looked at Beefy Miracle but it would not work I fear as the legs are to thin. Do we have something which could be used? I looked through the badges designs to find a badger would work have not found one yet. br gnokii

Fedora Wallpaper 36
by Madeline Peck 11 Oct '21

11 Oct '21

Hey everyone! Fedora 35 is getting ready to be packaged and released but it's time to start Fedora Wallpaper 36! Each release we increment a letter of the alphabet and look to highlight a scientist, inventor, or engineer whose name begins with that letter and use their work as inspiration for the visual concept of the wallpaper. For example, F33’s inspiration was Walter Lincoln Hawkins, a polymer chemist and the wallpaper embedded the concept of connecting the world since his invention of plastic sheathing helped give rural access to the telephone. For F36, the letter is K. The first part of this process is as a team we vote on which of a few K figures we find most inspirational / the best possibility for cool visuals for the F36 wallpaper. I propose the list below. I will make sure to attach the poll below for voting purposes. -- *1. Jack Kilby *- Jack St. Clair Kilby was a Nobel award-winning American electrical engineer, his greatest achievement was the creation of the first working integrated circuit while working at Texas Instruments in the 1950s. The visuals here could be either very direct, inspired by the diodes, microprocessors, and transistors of the circuit, or more abstract. The lines and squares could start to turn into an overhead view of the city/world that’s been affected by the integrated circuit -- *2. Stephanie Kwolek *– Kevlar - An American chemist discovered this material, which is five times stronger than steel, is used in bicycle tires, racing sails, body armor, frying pans, armored cars. She discovered the first of a family of synthetic fibers of exceptional strength and stiffness: poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide. Visual concepts could include the molecular makeup of kevlar, fluidity of fibers as well as the rigidity and strength of the material. -- *3. *Deepika Kurup - is an inventor, scientist, and clean water advocate. Kurup's initial idea that won her the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_Education_3M_Young_Scientist_Challe…> in 2012 is based on using a photocatalytic compound for water purification. In 2015 she developed a pervious photocatalytic composite using sand, TiO2, Portland cement and silver nitrate. This photocatalytic pervious composite showed 98% reduction in total coliform bacteria immediately after filtration. Exposure of the filtered water to sunlight with a photocatalytic composite disc resulted in 100% inactivation of total coliform bacteria. I think this one has a lot of different paths we could go in! Playing around with whether we wanted a landscape that emphasized the sun and water like Fedora 34, or if we wanted to symbolize bacteria in a way with the water in a gradient effect going from dirty to clean. -- *4. Robert Kahn* - Robert Kahn was an electrical engineer from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. When the company DARPA ran out of funding, he and a computer scientist from Stanford named Vint Cerf collaborated on the principle of the interconnection of heterogeneous computer networks. They called it the TCP (transmission control protocol) which originally included the IP (Internet Protocol). After the U.S. Department of Defense adopted it in 1980, the TCP/IP became the standard Internet communication protocol we still use today. I don't have many ideas for visuals off the top of my head but right now while we all work with the internet mostly from home its really important so I'm sure we could come up with something. Keep an eye out for an email regarding the poll. We’re currently trying to set it up with LimeSurvey but this way you can do whatever research you’d like and figure out who to vote for in the meantime before its up and running! -- *Madeline Peck* she / her / hers

Using Pen Pot for Fedora Design artifacts
by Máirín Duffy 07 Oct '21

07 Oct '21

Hi everyone, If you watch today's Fedora Design team call [1], you'll hear and see a little discussion of a new open source UI wireframing and prototyping tool called PenPot. It's created by the folks who make Taiga, which is a tool we've used in Fedora before. It is a hosted, browser-based app that runs great in Fedora, and you can check it out here: https://penpot.app/ I am trying out this tool to wireframe the redesign for the main Fedora website and create formal brand guidelines for the new Fedora logo. I set up a Fedora Design team on the main server at penpot.app. If you would like to join this team, let me know :) Note this tool isn't meant to replace our usage of Inkscape, especially for illustrations, logo designs, print layouts, etc. But it is a very well-designed tool for UI mockups so I personally will be testing it out more for Fedora UI mockups. [1] https://peertube.linuxrocks.online/w/8rSLZPQ8yBiphPDn6NyANU Let me know what you think! ~m

by Máirín Duffy 06 Oct '21

06 Oct '21

Hi everyone :) Here is a link to the recording of today's Design Team meeting: https://peertube.linuxrocks.online/w/8rSLZPQ8yBiphPDn6NyANU This link will be live for the next 2 weeks to allow everyone a chance to play it, after which point it will be taken down. Meeting summary: In this meeting, Mo and Madeline talk over logistics for the just-launched Fedora 36 wallpaper inspiration poll Madeline set up - she has officially kicked off the F36 wallpaper process! :) [You should all have an email now inviting you to vote - if you do not receive the email please let me know!] Mo also talked through some super-early mockups of a new Fedora website design. Ryan Gorley also dropped by and Mo gave him a tour of the new Pen Pot app (penpot.app) which is an open source wireframing tool that seems pretty nice :) Le meas, ~m
