Hey design team,
This email is the result of me just wandering around addons.mozilla.org for a while looking for anything interesting. I'm curious if you've seen these Fedora-related personas for Firefox.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=fedora&cat=personas&am...
Couple of thoughts:
(1) It might be cool for the Fedora Design Team to make some official ones for either different versions and/or spins of Fedora.
(2) There might be some recruiting fodder in here, to invite some of these designers to join the team. The information below is what I found on Google:
http://www.getpersonas.com/gallery/designer/pshevtsov -- has written in to Ask Fedora a few times in Fedora Weekly News.
http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/designer/dfragnul -- couldn't really find anything.
http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/designer/magjogui -- already a Fedora contributor (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Magjogui) and on the Cc.
http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/Designer/Kenshin__ -- the page says "Open-source Artworker"
http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/designer/marvin5700 -- Google doesn't actually show much.
Gotta love the internets.

Definitely agree on that one. We may port the current wallpaper from Fedora 12 in this current Firefox 3.5.7. Firefox 3.6 just came out which is suitable for Fedora 13 theme unless maintainer decide to bring it on F12.

While I see no problem with stamping such a skin as "official", I want to make my voice heard against just in the cases someone propose shipping the default browser pre-configured to look like that: it would be a *bad thing*, a violation of the GNOME HiG and an inconsistency in the desktop.

You make a good point Nicu. Are you interested instead in reaching out to some of those theme-makers, to see if they'd like to get involved in other aspects of the Design Team?

From the existing Firefox Personas images (according with the data provided by Max), only Sebastien (Kenshin) did *some* amount of original work and he already joined the list. The other themes are just some basic crop from an existing image (and I don't want to go there, but is use of our CC-BY-SA work without attribution).

I agree.
arstechnica had it about right: "...to boldly go where no user interface ever should"

To be clear:
I wasn't suggesting incorporating a Fedora-inspired Firefox Persona into the default settings that are in any spin.
Rather, I was thinking about having some Fedora Personas that are designed by folks who are part of the design team, and that people could find and enable on their machine post-install if they wanted to.
For instance, I can imagine a one with the Fedora color scheme and some sort of electrical theme for Fedora Electronics Lab.
In short -- people are already creating Fedora personas, and more will come. Why not make sure that there are good ones out there?
