=== Fedora 12 Wallpapers ===
=== Meeting Summary ===


[[User:mso|Martin Sourada]] prepared<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000649.html</ref> and initial set of packages with wallpapers for the alpha release "I've just put together  initial packages containing the Constantine wallpapers I consider (based on the feedback we received) to be 'worth'
After an IRC meeting for selecting the Fedora 12 theme took place, [[User:mso|Martin Sourada]] posted<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000798.html</ref> on @design-team the conversation log<ref>http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2009-08-10/fedora-design.2009-08-10-16.00.log.html</ref> and a short summary: "We'll move Constantine Statue back to extras, also raised concern about it including a sword * The Constantine theme will be based on (perspective) mosaico with elements added from underwater mosaic * KDE Alpha (if the packages get tagged in time) will have slideshow like we have in GNOME, if it's not working reliably, it will have mosaico * For Friday we target <ref>http://tatica.fedorapeople.org/Themes/Fedora12_mosaic-glow-2.png</ref>, if it's not ready we'll go with <ref>http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/temp/f12</ref> * we haven't decided about alpha release banner design, but narrowed the selection to <ref>http://tatica.fedorapeople.org/Themes/fedora12-banner_1-rounded.png</ref> and <ref>http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~brejc8/temp/banner.png</ref>.
putting in for Alpha. There is constantine-backgrounds package which contains tatica's mocaico and Mo's and Nicu's underwater mosaic, both as slide-show (switching between those two once twice per hour) and separately. Next there is constantine-backgrounds-extras package which contains Samuele's 4flowers and 4horses, Jayme's Constantine
Statue, Charlie's bird mosaic and tatica's pruebas and freedom" as a base for selecting the best default and after a round of the preliminary feedback, one was moved<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000667.html</ref> from extras-proposals to default-proposals "there seems to be non-ignorable amount of people who want it in default so I moved it to default for now."
 
With the process of evolving the wallpapers being continuous, [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] considered the feedback from [[User:pfrields|Paul Frields]] and proposed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000681.html</ref> an improved version for one of the concepts "As per Paul's suggestion to try to modify the perspective of María's mosaico designs to make it vibrate a little less with icons on the desktop, I did some experimentation today in Inkscape with perspective."
 
Martin called for a decisional meeting<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000691.html</ref> for wallpapers "I suggest that people raise their reasons for and against choosing one or another in this thread and we hold a (hopefully) short IRC session next Monday (2009-08-10) to make the final decision. Would 16:00 UTC be a good time for everyone?"

=== A Design Spin? ===
=== The Art Studio Spin ===


With the uproar about the announcement made by [[User:mclasen|Matthias Clasen]] on the Desktop list<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-desktop-list/2009-August/msg00011.html</ref> about the removal of GIMP from the Desktop spin, [[User:mso|Martin Sourada]] asked<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000663.html</ref> about the status of an old project of the Design Team "What has happened to the Art Studio spin (or whatever it was called) we were trying to make? I've just seen a message on desktop-list proposing dropping gimp from Desktop Spin (the infamous size issues), so it would probably make sense to resurrect the idea of having a spin for (not only) Fedora designers with all the apps we use, like gimp, inkscape, blender, scribus, etc." and [[User:nicubunu|Nicu Buculei]] bitterly replied about the inactivity in that area "As far as I know, the spin is on hold, waiting for someone to take the lead". However, indirect talks on IRC and blog comments indicate a good level of interest for the project.
With the increased interest for having a customized Fedora geared towards creative people, [[User:kushal|Kushal Das]] announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000804.html</ref> his preliminary work and asked for input "I started working on the spin , the initial size is around 1000MB, still all fonts need to be put in", something [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] was also playing with<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000818.html</ref> "Coincidentally enough I tried several times to build an art studio spin last night but livecd-creator keeps failing". Kushal followed with a kickstart script<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000808.html</ref> and everyone started suggesting application for inclusion or removal. [[User:mso|Martin Sourada]] questioned<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000816.html</ref> the spin name "I think it's good idea to rename the spin (in accordance with our move from Fedora Artwork to Fedora Design Team) to Fedora Design Live (or something like that)", something not considered an issue by [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000819.html</ref> "I don't think the spin needs to be named after our team, it just needs to attract the type of user we are seeking no?", a discussion which brought to attention the need to define the spin's target<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000831.html</ref>, with a possible answer<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000836.html</ref> from Máirín "We could do something where the whole enchilada is called the 'Fedora Creativity Suite' and then different 'slices' of that could be different studios eg vector gfx studio, 3d studio, audio studio, etc"

=== Constantine Banners ===
=== Source Control for Fedora Themes ===


In anticipation of the Alpha release, several banner proposals were advanced: a generic one for the Alpha release<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000673.html</ref> by [[User:deepsky|Paolo Leoni]], a final release banner proposal<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000694.html</ref> from [[User:tatica|Maria Leandro]], another<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000717.html</ref> from [[User:brejc8|Charlie Brej]] and finally Paolo's remade banner<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000729.html</ref>.
[[User:rdieter|Rex Dieter]] expressed the need<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000802.html</ref> for a source control system "but, it seems there is no source-control currently being used for fedora
theming yet.  I'd like to propose hosting what's used in stuff like constantine-backgrounds (and future fedora-related theming) in a git (or svn or whatever) repo", a request endorsed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000823.html</ref> also by [[User:mso|Martin Sourada]] "Yup, for my part a git repo would be really helpful. Spinning the source
tarball by hand is not an exactly nice experience ;-)" and  [[User:jreznik|Jaroslav Reznik]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000830.html</ref> "Indeed, it's really much more easier to use some repository, even in one
person" so  [[User:pfrields|Paul Frields]] pointed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000844.html</ref> to the existing repository which can/should be used for the task: "There is actually a git repo, it just needs to be renamed to properly match the Trac issue system." An alyas fixing later<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000847.html</ref> and everything was solved.

Meeting Summary

After an IRC meeting for selecting the Fedora 12 theme took place, Martin Sourada posted[1] on @design-team the conversation log[2] and a short summary: "We'll move Constantine Statue back to extras, also raised concern about it including a sword * The Constantine theme will be based on (perspective) mosaico with elements added from underwater mosaic * KDE Alpha (if the packages get tagged in time) will have slideshow like we have in GNOME, if it's not working reliably, it will have mosaico * For Friday we target [3], if it's not ready we'll go with [4] * we haven't decided about alpha release banner design, but narrowed the selection to [5] and [6].

The Art Studio Spin

With the increased interest for having a customized Fedora geared towards creative people, Kushal Das announced[1] his preliminary work and asked for input "I started working on the spin , the initial size is around 1000MB, still all fonts need to be put in", something Máirín Duffy was also playing with[2] "Coincidentally enough I tried several times to build an art studio spin last night but livecd-creator keeps failing". Kushal followed with a kickstart script[3] and everyone started suggesting application for inclusion or removal. Martin Sourada questioned[4] the spin name "I think it's good idea to rename the spin (in accordance with our move from Fedora Artwork to Fedora Design Team) to Fedora Design Live (or something like that)", something not considered an issue by Máirín Duffy[5] "I don't think the spin needs to be named after our team, it just needs to attract the type of user we are seeking no?", a discussion which brought to attention the need to define the spin's target[6], with a possible answer[7] from Máirín "We could do something where the whole enchilada is called the 'Fedora Creativity Suite' and then different 'slices' of that could be different studios eg vector gfx studio, 3d studio, audio studio, etc"

Source Control for Fedora Themes

Rex Dieter expressed the need[1] for a source control system "but, it seems there is no source-control currently being used for fedora theming yet. I'd like to propose hosting what's used in stuff like constantine-backgrounds (and future fedora-related theming) in a git (or svn or whatever) repo", a request endorsed[2] also by Martin Sourada "Yup, for my part a git repo would be really helpful. Spinning the source tarball by hand is not an exactly nice experience ;-)" and Jaroslav Reznik[3] "Indeed, it's really much more easier to use some repository, even in one person" so Paul Frields pointed[4] to the existing repository which can/should be used for the task: "There is actually a git repo, it just needs to be renamed to properly match the Trac issue system." An alyas fixing later[5] and everything was solved.
