=== Wallpaper Survey ===
 
[[MairinDuffy|Máirí­n Duffy]] reported[1] on @fedora-art about the results of an informal survey she ran on her blog[2] about the wallpapers used by various people "So far as I've been able to read through them, they seem to
fit into 3 categories: #1 stick with the default (distro default or desktop env default) or flat solid color #2 personalized no matter what (photos they took themselves or photos of family members) or a photo of an interest hobby (racecars, bikes, hometown, etc) #3 beautiful pictures of nature, usually with some depth". Máirí­n is trying to use this data so the Art Team can come with more useful wallpapers "we should think about these wallpapers that folks are actually using and try to create something that they will like having as their desktop background as much as possible".

Fedora 11 Visual Concepts

With the first milestone[1] for the Fedora 11 visual concept closing on February 1st, Máirí­n Duffy posted[2] on @fedora-art a first mockup "I'm thinking maybe somewhere more mountainous with some mists, and with some vines/plants growing up the columns with some sunbeams on them", which was warmly received by the rest of the team, which opted still for a more lively image, as Luya Tshimbalanga put it[3] "I think of desolation when I see that image with a ruins from old Greek temple (tend to get bored so easily) and a very dry land. That picture would mean Fedora after collapse. Greece is famous with its olive field so the land needs to be green. I see mountain that look like Olympia and the sky appears to be a god/goddess land. That image needs to be live, not dead."

Following this "lively" concept, Konstantinos Antonakoglou came[4] with a photographic collage "I just want to point out the main concept, which is the combination of ancient Greece and nature (water, mountains with a lot of green)" and Bill Nottingham advanced the idea of using photographs[5] "is it possible/should we look for a full photo (appropriately licensed) that can be used?"

At the same time, Samuele Storari tried[6] a different concept in the same Grecian spirit "For this theme I try to work on the Spartan "Leonidas" idea, I work on the Acient Helm so we don't have discussion on violence or other not connected idea."
