Counting Down to Fedora 13
Alexander Smirnov created[1] a complex and ellaborate count-down banner for the upcoming Fedora 13 release "I upload sample image to wiki and concept in the form of animation to my fedorapeople space" and Máirín Duffy offered[2] a number of improvements in the text "f you have the rocket launching, maybe you don't need to say 'launched in', you can just say 'X days' so translators only need to translate 'days' and you don't have to worry about running out of space for the translation as much."
Preparing Beta Artwork
As John Poelstra reminded[1] about the upcoming schedule and deadlines, Nicu Buculei noticed[2] the team is behind it, and proposed to use the Alpha artwork in the Beta release "Considering we are way pas the deadline for finalizing the Beta wallpaper and very close to its package deadline, I propose that if we nobody propose an improvement in the next 24 hours, we go for Beta (and most likely final version) with Rocket Trails 2 that was already used for Alpha". Martin Sourada agreed[3] "I should like to add that the Alpha wallpaper is awesome albeit rather lowish resolution and is missing dual screen versions" and offered to package it "I'm ready to do the packaging work as soon as I have the necessary sources" while Paul Frields talked[4] possible future enhancements "If we want to take another stab at the wallpaper for post-Beta/GA, I know that Mairin Duffy had collected some constructive critiques." Kris Thomsen showed availability[5] to work on splashes, which are derivatives of the wallpaper "I can try to do the firstboot/anaconda banners".

New Mist Icons
Máirín Duffy submitted[1] an addition to the default Fedora icon theme "Lapo has created some new Mist icons very recently and was wondering if we could get them into F13" and Matthias Clasen pointed[2] to a small packaging problem "Mairin, these look indeed great. But we'll need at least the folder icons in the same sizes that they are present in the gnome icon theme, or things will look bad at different zoom levels in nautilus" which was quickly corrected[3]
