=== Looking Forward to Fedora 12 ===
=== FUDCon T-shirt ===


After [[User:thomaskole|Thomas Kole]] asked<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-June/000205.html</ref> about what is the Fedora 12 theme "I really want to create a wallpaper for f12, but what is the theme?" and [[User:nicubunu|Nicu Buculei]] pointed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-June/000210.html</ref> it will be announced in approximatively one week "I believe the result is expected to be announced next week at FUDCon", [[User:mso|Martin Sourada]] started the debate<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-June/000206.html</ref> about tht process for to be used"what's the theming process for F12?" and provided a first sketch "1. sketching the base concepts[...] 2. get initial approach wallpapers into Alpha[...] 3. have most of the artwork covered by Beta[...] 4. polish for RCs and Final".
[[User:emichan|Emily Dirsh]] proposed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-December/003702.html</ref> a T-shirt design for the Tempe FUDCon "It's inspired by the art of the Hohokam who once lived in the area" and after an initial warm receive<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-December/003703.html</ref> from [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] "Wow that is **gorgeous**, I love it! I would love a shirt with that design in it!" she followed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-December/003705.html</ref> with a couple of variations "Ooh, I love the idea of a navy shirt! Yeah, the advantage to a single-color design is it's very easy to adjust the color." [[User:schendje|Jef van Schendel]] also proposed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-December/003704.html</ref> a few remixes "Here's a few quick and dirty stabs at a dark shirt version".


Nicu further outlined<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-June/000211.html</ref> the tight schedule "According to the schedule, we have Alpha freeze on 2009-08-04 and Alpha release on 2009-08-18", Martin mentioned<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-June/000215.html</ref> some past problems to avoid "First of all we need to make clear it's not competition, but we still need more than one designs" and [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] advanced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-June/000218.html</ref> a possible different approach "I wonder if we could take an approach instead of creating the base image

from scratch this time, to go out and search the best of openly-licensed content and try to provide a thematic selection?", which was disliked<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-June/000228.html</ref> by Nicu "is like us dropping the
ball and acknowledging we are not able to create ourselves something good enough", Martin<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-June/000244.html</ref> and [[User:sstorari|Samuele Storari]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-June/000229.html</ref> "I hope we will not stop create, and, I think we may work again in the contest mode", but also Martin noticed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-June/000248.html</ref> how the old process has put a lot unreasonable stress on Máirín's shoulders "One of the things I remember from the past releases are your all-nighters that saved us from disasters, especially considering you are doing it in your spare time..."


After a few more rounds of debate, Máirín Duffy proposed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-June/000250.html</ref> a plan: "I think I really like the requirement that the default be: original, vector, abstract, theme-related. And that we pick, let's say as originally proposed, 4 works from the creative commons / openly-licensed community that are related to the theme as well and have the following breakdown: 2 general appeal / any age group, 1 appeal to children, 1 appeal to women" which was positively received, with a possible addition by Nicu Buculei<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-June/000252.html</ref> "- a larger "extras" package (but not very large) yummable from the repository and *maybe* also on the install DVD; a huge gallery with *everything* available online, where people can browse with Firefox and use it's "set image as desktop background" option."
=== Design Team Blog ===


Once the process is defined, it will be widely publicised so the larger community can take part into it "process announced in Fedora Weekly news & Fedora Forum; process announced on Planet fpo; each phase of the process announced in FWN & on Planet FPO & Fedora Forum; maybe some kind of podcast, www.fpo banner, some kinds of publicity that way to get people involved."
[[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-December/003716.html</ref> a new communication channel for the team "Thanks to Sijis we now have a team blog!! (Yay!!)" and she invited authors to join "Some members of the design team we couldn't add to the blog because their accounts weren't in the Fedora blogs system. If you'd like to be added, please log in to Fedora blogs to create your account, and let me know you've done it so I can request your account be added."

In this section, we cover the Fedora Design Team[1].

Contributing Writer: Nicu Buculei

FUDCon T-shirt

Emily Dirsh proposed[1] a T-shirt design for the Tempe FUDCon "It's inspired by the art of the Hohokam who once lived in the area" and after an initial warm receive[2] from Máirín Duffy "Wow that is **gorgeous**, I love it! I would love a shirt with that design in it!" she followed[3] with a couple of variations "Ooh, I love the idea of a navy shirt! Yeah, the advantage to a single-color design is it's very easy to adjust the color." Jef van Schendel also proposed[4] a few remixes "Here's a few quick and dirty stabs at a dark shirt version".

Design Team Blog

Máirín Duffy announced[1] a new communication channel for the team "Thanks to Sijis we now have a team blog!! (Yay!!)" and she invited authors to join "Some members of the design team we couldn't add to the blog because their accounts weren't in the Fedora blogs system. If you'd like to be added, please log in to Fedora blogs to create your account, and let me know you've done it so I can request your account be added."
