    • Board continues to leave ongoing implementation details to FESCo

  • ACTION

Artwork in Fedora

  • Recent email threads on fedora-desktop-list@redhat.com
  • Discussion centered around who is responsible for the "look and feel" of Fedora
  • Look of default icon set of distribution is important because it does makes a first impression on new users
  • Where does Fedora define "Upstream Fedora Artwork" to exist?
  • Is Fedora specific art work considered to be working "upstream" or does such an "upstream" exist?
  • The Board is ultimately responsible for the look and feel of Fedora but would like it to be clear that it has delegated this responsibility to the Fedora Art Team
  • There were no dissenting votes to the following resolution:
  • RESOLUTION
    1. FESCo has previously delegated the responsibility to determine the look and feel of Fedora to the Artwork team, and the Board continues to support that decision
    2. The Artwork team, like any other Fedora team, should work with other groups to develop consensus on look and feel discussions
    3. The Artwork team should formally decide whether or not Echo should be the default icon set in Fedora 10
