| === Final Wallpaper for Fedora 12 === | | === Game Screenshots === |
|
| |
|
| After a final sprint of wallpaper polishing, [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] declared<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001281.html</ref> the Fedora 12 wallpaper 'done': "At 82+ (there were more before this) iterations, I'm spent. The wallpapers need to get in today" and the packages were pushed into Rawhide. She also wrote a couple of insightful blog posts: one about the evolution of the wallpaper during this release cycle<ref>http://mairin.wordpress.com/2009/10/24/f12-wallpaper-sprinting/</ref> and another presenting the final results<ref>http://mairin.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/fedora-12s-default-wallpaper/</ref>.
| | [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] asked for help<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-November/001313.html</ref> for a distributed effort to cover with screenshots the large number of games comprising the Fedora Games spin "a lot more are needed. Can you help us out? We made them 300px x 225 px, and took a screenshot and put a logo in too. Where the game didn't have a logo we made one. Let me know if you can help! You can claim a whole letter (e.g., I took care of all the games that begin with A) and churn them out." The task being easy and the topic addictive, a number of contributors joined and the screenshots coverage increased dramatically. |

| [[User:mso|Martin Sourada]] called<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001243.html</ref> for a final decision before packaging a pack of extra wallpapers and after a round of "votes" from [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001244.html</ref><ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001246.html</ref>, [[User:tw2113|Michael Beckwith]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001249.html</ref> and [[User:jaymeayres|Jayme Ayres]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001275.html</ref> the images were packaged and pushed. | | After [[User:poelstra|John Poelstra]] sent a reminder<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-November/001332.html</ref> about the Design tasks still open, [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] claimed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-November/001342.html</ref> and then proposed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-November/001354.html</ref> a design for the front page banner and [[User:inkscaper|Alexander Smirnov]] proposed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-November/001345.html</ref> a couple of small sized banners and a front page banner.

| === Fedora 12 Countdown Banner ===
| |
| | |
| [[User:nicubunu|Nicu Buculei]] pointed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001269.html</ref> few days are left until the release so the countdown banner must start running "When we consider the design 'done', it should be taken to the websites list so we can run it officially (that means any time now [yesterday?], we are less 30 days from release)", [[User:pfrields|Paul W. Frields]] agreed "Let's get a countdown banner finalized and out the door as soon as possible, so people can start using it on their websites", so [[User:inkscaper|Alexander Smirnov]] took it to the websites list<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-websites-list/2009-October/msg00098.html</ref>, along with a number of translations "I've uploaded English, Italian, German, Icelandic, Hungarian, Portuguese (Brazilian) and Russian version this banner (translate based on previous ( Fedora 11 countdown banner) to my fedorapeople.org space" and the countdown is already up and running, ready to be propagated on blogs and websites all around the world<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/en/counter</ref>

| === Looking Forward to a New Cycle ===
| |
| | |
| With the process done, [[User:mso|Martin Sourada]] opened an analysis<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001288.html</ref> about the process "I think the F12 schedule worked rather well, we slipped a few times a few days or a week and skipped most of the wallpaper refreshes -- I think it's unnecessary to have that many wallpaper refreshes.", looking for ways to improve the next cycle "I believe these six points need to be in bold face in our schedule as they are somehow important milestones." [[User:nicubunu|Nicu Buculei]] complained<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001289.html</ref> about disruptive delayed feedback "For the last few releases we have a recurrent motif: some key decision makers stay silent for most of the development cycle and very late in the process complain and require a complete (or at least major) redesign. This is a serious bug in our process", a sentiment shared<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001293.html</ref> by [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] "It's really frustrating that folks wait until the very very last minute to voice their opinion", while [[User:jreznik|Jaroslav Reznik]] asked<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001291.html</ref> for more feedback *from* the team "So we need more feedback - probably through more refreshes for alpha, more communication out of design team."

| === Inkscape Course and Jealousy ===
| |
| | |
| [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] told<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001303.html</ref> the Design Team about an Inkscape course she will teach "My Red Hat office, the Boston office, is going to be doing a program with a local middle school / jr. high (students are 11-14 I think) and I'm going to be teaching a 9 session (45 minutes a piece) course in Inkscape to the students" while asking the other members for ideas and experience sharing "I know many of you, I am sure, have given Inkscape tutorials to other folks, and I am wondering if any of you would have time to give me advice or even help me develop the lesson plan." [[User:nicubunu|Nicu Buculei]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001304.html</ref>, [[User:tatica|María Leandro]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001305.html</ref>, [[User:pcon|Patrick Connelly]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001306.html</ref> and [[User:wonderer|Henrik Heigl]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-October/001311.html</ref> gave their input, while showing their jealousy for the opportunity to work on such a project: "But overall I'm jealous and wish I could be doing it!"

Game Screenshots
Máirín Duffy asked for help[1] for a distributed effort to cover with screenshots the large number of games comprising the Fedora Games spin "a lot more are needed. Can you help us out? We made them 300px x 225 px, and took a screenshot and put a logo in too. Where the game didn't have a logo we made one. Let me know if you can help! You can claim a whole letter (e.g., I took care of all the games that begin with A) and churn them out." The task being easy and the topic addictive, a number of contributors joined and the screenshots coverage increased dramatically.
Remaining Tasks for Fedora 12
After John Poelstra sent a reminder[1] about the Design tasks still open, Máirín Duffy claimed[2] and then proposed[3] a design for the front page banner and Alexander Smirnov proposed[4] a couple of small sized banners and a front page banner. Luya Tshimbalanga is looking into[5] CD/DVD covers and labels.
