=== Design Team IRC Meeting ===


=== The Complementary Font ===
[[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-June/002629.html</ref> the regular IRC meeting of the Design Team "Just a friendly reminder our second weekly meeting is at 7 PM UTC today in #fedora-design on irc.freenode.net" and after the meeting she published<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-June/002634.html</ref> the minutes<ref>http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2010-06-15/fedora-design.2010-06-15-19.08.html</ref>, the meeting covered: website redesign, progress for Fedora 14 artwork, the tickets queue and the new biweekly bounties.
 
[[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] proposed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-June/002573.html</ref> a branding change for the complementary font used with the Fedora logo<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/UsageGuidelines#Complementary_Font</ref> "our secondary font, MgOpen Modata, doesn't have basic accent marks (I can't even write my own name in it.) Do we want to consider switching to a different font that does?" and made a proposal "I found this font that has a similar rounded look (it's a wider and more widely-spaced font, but I think that's okay) and it seems to cover all the basic accents including acute, grave, umlat, circumflex, etc. It's called Quicksand."  
 
Not everybody was happy with the new proposed font, like [[User:fabsh|Fabian A. Scherschel]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-June/002578.html</ref> "Personally, the lower-case 'a' in that font gives me a headache. I think it's not 'modern' enough looking for Fedora" or [[User:pfrields|Paul W. Frields]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-June/002584.html</ref> "Speaking only for my tastes, this font seems more excentric than Modata.  The wider spacing could have a negative impact on content where we can effectively use Modata now."
 
Máirín also outlined<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-June/002585.html</ref> the lack of an official body text "We don't actually have an official body text font (I tend to use Liberation Sans when laying out body text), maybe we should pick a specific one and add it to our brand guidelines" and  [[User:ianweller|Ian Weller]] made a proposal<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-June/002586.html</ref> "We could use either Liberation or Droid. It matters not to me", with a good number of the team members supporting Droid.

Sparkle Share

Máirín Duffy pointed[1] to Sparkle Share, a tool in development which may make easier to share the works inside the Design Team "I think we should try using this when it's first released! ", Nicu Buculei objected[2] about using Mono "Hope some brave souls will do to it what other brave souls did to Tomboy with Gnote" while other members, like Jayme Ayres showed enthusiasm[3] "I loved the idea. Currently I use the Dropbox and is very useful for me to manage my work files and laptop!"
