I need content for your spin's webpage- by Fri Oct 16
by Máirín Duffy 11 Nov '09

11 Nov '09

Hi folks, It looks like the following spins will be available [1] in Fedora 12: - AOS Spin (David Huff) - BrOffice.org Spin (Igor Pires Soares) - Education Spin (Sebastian Dziallas) - Electronic Lab Spin (Chitlesh Goorah) - Games Spin (Bruno Wolff III) - LXDE Spin (Christoph Wickert) - XFCE Spin (Kevin Fenzi & Adam Miller) As you likely well know, we've come up with a new spins.fedoraproject.org design. The initial design includes individual spin details pages. These designs can evolve and be modified however you folks would like - our main goal for the F12 timeframe is to have a nice spins site that looks professional and is easy-to-use rather than what we have today which is basically a flat dump of torrent files [2] and scattered spins details pages and wiki pages. So the general idea is we'll have a main directory of spins: https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/1/11/Spins-directory-popularity_1.png And each spin will have its own multiple-tabbed page to offer up downloads and other other details you'd like to make available. Here's an example one I mocked up for the KDE spin: https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/3/31/Spin-details-home.png You see the tabs for the spin - I think that depending on your spins' needs, these can be flexible, but at a minimum we need a 'home' tab to give a basic description of what the spin is, and a 'download' tab to provide the downloads. I hope you're all cool with this. :) I've been trying to blog this on Planet Fedora and it's been discussed on the logistics-list and fab list as well for the past couple months or so, but it was totally my oversight to not include this list in the process. I'm hoping moving forward we can take the design I came up with as a kind of potential vision, and adapt the design to meet your needs over time. If we're all good there, what I would like to get from you all by next Friday if possible: - A slogan for your spin to serve as the heading for the home page. The sample one I came up for KDE is: "It's your desktop. Be free." If you need helping coming up with one I'm happy to help. - At least a paragraph describing what your spin is used for, who your spin is for, what unique features it has - that kind of information. This will also go on the home tab. - A representative screenshot for your spin. - For the downloads tab, if you'd like custom text to describe the spin download, let me know. Otherwise I'll use the defaults in this mockup: https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/c/ce/Spin-details-download.png - For the support tab, I'd like to know what IRC channels or other live support options users have for your spin (if any), what mailing lists / forums / non-live support options users have for your spin (if any), and what documentation would you like to highlight to new users. An example is shown here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Spin-details-support.png - Finally, I'd like to create some custom branding for each spin, so the different spins pages are distinguishable from one another. You can see in this KDE spin mockup, I did a bar above the tabs that has the KDE logo. Let me know what kind of graphic you'd like for your spin ASAP and I can come up with mockups: https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/3/31/Spin-details-home.png I know this is a lot to ask, but can you give it a shot and let me know if this is not do-able or if you have any concerns? I'm usually on freenode as 'mizmo' or you can shoot me an email or we can discuss on-list here as well. Thanks, ~m p.s. the full spins.fpo site redesign is available here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Website_redesign_2009/Mockups/Spins.fpo [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Spins_Fedora_12 [2] http://spins.fedoraproject.org/

Spin Banner Artwork for spins.fpo
by Máirín Duffy 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Hi folks, I came up with a set of banners for each of the spins to be displayed on spins.fpo. In context, the banner would be placed underneath a blue Fedora bar, like so: https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/a/af/Spin-details-fel-home.png Here's all the banners: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Website_redesign_2009/Mockups/Spins.fpo#Bann… I hope you like them! Let me know if you're okay with the design I came up with for your spin or if you have any ideas on improving these. I'm going to make a post on planet.fpo too so we can get broader feedback, but I'm particularly concerned about the spins owners being happy with the artwork they've got. Please feel free to speak up. I uploaded the source for the banners too in case you wanted to tweak on your own! Thanks, ~m

Xfce Spin changes
by Christoph Wickert 28 Oct '09

28 Oct '09

Hi there, I committed a couple of changes [1] to the Xfce Spin: 1. Removed cups-pdf because the gnome print dialog already offers pdf printing. 2. Removed some system-config-* tools to sync with the desktop spin: * system-config-boot * system-config-language (language can be changed in gdm) * system-config-lvm * system-config-network (we already have NetworkManager) * system-config-rootpassword * system-config-services * policycoreutils-gui Any of these that should stay in the Spin? What about midori? Do we really want two browsers? We already have Firefox. And what about parole? It's really cool, but I don't think it is ready to be the default media player until it has a gecko plugin. Nevertheless it would be nice to have it on the Live-CD. We should have some more free space, anything you would like to add? How about vinagre or another VNC viewer? Opinions, comments, rants?

spins.fpo revamp content & update
by Máirín Duffy 21 Oct '09

21 Oct '09

Hi folks, I promised I'd sent the Fedora websites list the spins content the maintainers so graciously put together on short notice for our spin.fpo redesign. Here's the content they put together - they made it very easy to link to :) : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Website_redesign_2009/Mockups/Spins.fpo#Spin… Also as a status update, I think we are set on the design for Electronic Lab and LXDE. I still need to go through the mockup process with remaining spins' content and make sure the spin maintainers are okay with what I come up with. I'm hoping to have that done by this Friday but we'll see. I sent out a message to the fedora-desktop list too to see if they want a page for their spin and if so what content they might be able to provide. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to give them a spins.fpo page or not yet but hopefully some good discussion about that will happen on that lit. ~m
