Hi,
Now there F27 is released its time to work on F28. As the last releases before, I collected together some inventors this time their name starts with D.
There would be
* Giovanni de Dondi who invented an astronomical clock, I think Mo already did one draw before, for the Flock in Prague ;)
we can play with astronomical and time things
* Arvid Gerhard Damm for the invention of the rotating chiffre machine
we can play with chiffren, codes and so on
and
* Georges Darrieus who developed the Darrieus Rotor a vertical wind mill
we can play with wind, air, wind mills
to the formular:

a week for all to vote on it should be enough, so next week (22. Nov.) then the result

Just a suggestion that we add Emily Duncan to the list. She invented several calculators in the early 1900's and is considered an early programmer before the age of the computer. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_C._Duncan
We did well with math-themed artwork before, with Mary's lovely Archimedes screw design. There are neat diagrams in some of her patent documents too that might be inspirational - the first one reminds me of the Cray o_O

Actually I wrote last week a mail for non design team members to stay away to vote on it as the designers have something visual in mind when the vote for one. Spreading this thing wider would also mean, we would bring back somehow the "code names", so its just for the design team a point to start with and develop a theme.

Hi,
Sorry for being a bit late, I had during the last days oter Fedora shoes to fill.
I just checked the voting and even there are a lot of votes now, its the same picture. 50% voted for Giovanni de Dondi and 50% for Emily Duncan. I fear even more would vote that will not change. But the solution is simple, personally I havent voted yet and I vote now and tell why I vote for it, I vote for Emily Duncan not because she is a woman as more we had with F24 an astro/time oriented theme. See https://mashaleonova.wordpress.com/2016/03/14/fedora-24-alpha-wallpaper/ So lets go then with Emily Duncan
