With the Beta release for Fedora 11 nearing, [[User:Pfrields|Paul Frields]] asked<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-March/msg00023.html</ref> about the wallpaper status "We are a little past that deadline if the wallpaper is to get into the Beta spin as was originally intended, but it *can* still happen.  I suggest deciding on a candidate by tomorrow. If the design isn't perfect there is still time to tweak it as we move toward the Preview Release and the other collateral designs are made" and [[User:Duffy|Máirí­n Duffy]] came<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-March/msg00026.html</ref> with a round of images<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F11_Artwork#Beta_Mockups</ref>, which gathered the consensus of the team with the reserve<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-March/msg00028.html</ref> on improving them further post-Beta.

There would be 4 chapters, freedom, friends, features, first. The photos for each chapter will have the model's perspective on the chapter's four f, talking about how that f affects their life and affects their role in Fedora. Then below that, per picture, we could suggest to the readers how they can bring that into their own life with a suggestion. Kind of a call to action" which was followed by a round of improvements<ref>http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-art-list/2009-March/msg00020.html</ref> from [[User:nicubunu|Nicu Buculei]].

Theme Song

Subodh Bhagat proposed[1] a new artistic initiative: a Fedora theme song "Do we have something like a theme song for fedora? Either lyrics or a composition?", an intitiative saluted by Konstantinos Antonakoglou[2] "Sounds great! I got some music skills (compose and play) too", Henrik Heigl[3] "I also think of ideas like a contest", Paul Frields[4] "I think song in general is a great idea. I'm a musician myself and an appreciator of songwriters" and Keiran Smith[5], who all have experience in the field.

Artwork for the Beta Release

In preparation for the upcoming Beta release, Paolo Leoni started[1] the work on a website banner by proposing two graphic concepts, a generic one and another based on the graphics for the Beta wallpaper image "The first is a non-themed version, while the second uses a part of Mo's wallpaper mockup." The general opinion was favourable to the themed version and after a few iterations, Máirí­n Duffy concluded[2] with a final version[3], a graphic which all the Fedora enthusiast are invited to use on their blogs.

On a related note, Paul Frields reviewed[4] the Art's Team release tasks[5] and produced a short list "the listed splashes, headers and other art scheduled for March 27 includes" to check the status "Is the listed date of March 27 enough time to produce these various derivations?"
