 I have two 8x3 (feet) walls to cover and, I was looking at whether
 there are any Fedora designs that I can use to make the poster. I
 could not find anything on the wiki that fits the dimensions. Perhaps
 I was not looking hard enough.

 If it matters at all, the background wall color is white and, I'd be a
 happy camper if I could get a design.

The Four Foundations poster is available in vector, so I think it can 
be adapted for your needs. Also, I think it looks good on a white wall.

 Thank you Nicu. Do you think there is a single design that can become
 a 8x3 poster ? I am looking for a single monolithic one rather than 4
 separate. I intend to use the Foundations separately :)

I am not aware by an existing design at exactly 8x3, but the design is 
versatile enough, is not hard to create something like

Re: [Design-team] We have a gallery2 test instance

 OK, those interested in testing the Gallery2 functionality ask me or Mo
 for an account.

 I just uploaded an image to make sure it is working:
 http://publictest7.fedoraproject.org/gallery2/

OK, here are a few of my impressions after about one week with Gallery:

- the current authentication is a killer: it don't scale to have admins 
adding accounts for every user, even more considering our plans to 
increase the contributors base and make easy for everyone. In an ideal 
world, people would be able to login using the FAS and have their rights 
provided by FAS (this *may* be possible, AFAIK Gallery2 is integrated 
for authentication with all finds of forum and portal software);

- is not easy to mass upload, the only way in our instance is tu upload 
ZIPs of all your files. There are alternate ways, like using WebDAV, but 
our install does not have the plugin;

- speaking of plugins, there are only a few available, we lack some for 
things like layout customization. I wonder if we should try to act as 
admins and install plugins as we like (well, it impossible anyway 
without direct access to the server) or consult with the Infrastructure 
people (a saner, but more bureaucratic approach);

- some operations are cumbersome: for example adding keywords and 
browsing based on keywords. I wonder if installing some plugins would 
make for a better experience;

- I don't see a way to browse for things like 'best rated' and I wonder 
again: we need plugins?

Normally I would have asked for other people opinions, but I see only 
very few of us played with the gallery, which make me doubt it is a 
popular/useful/wanted feature (but deep inside I still think a gallery 
would be good for us).

Re: [Design-team] background idea

2009-07-20 Thread Konstantinos Antonakoglou
I just thought that in the kind of ideas already proposed, the XII
(or maybe a part of a clock with roman numbers) could be implemented
according to the style of the background!

Something like this one (it's not CC though):

Well given that it's been around 11 days since Mo announced this and
that the announcement went to the design-list only and seeing how many
people are active here during the summer vacations, it's quite
understandable that not many of us have tried it yet...

PS: In my case it's more like lack of content worth uploading (I don't
own a good digital camera to start with...), though I did take a photo
with my mobile phone recently with the target being the gallery test
instance, but I haven't even transferred it to PC yet to see if there is
not over too much noise XD

I also blogged (on Planet) about it and mentioned in Fedora Weekly News.
However, it is not the time to announce to a wider audience, since it is 
a test instance and we want at this point mostly to evaluate if the tool 
is good for out goals.

Don't worry about the lack of content (...and wallpapers used in the old 
release are for example useful content to have), it's all about 
functionality.

PS: a photo made with a mobile phone will most likely won't be good 
enough for a wallpaper, but don't let that stop you, upload it anyway so 
we can play with the software.

[Design-team] A small icon request

2009-07-20 Thread Matthias Clasen
With Gnome 2.28 in F12, it will be possible to have different icons for
the xdg dirs: 

Documents: folder-documents
Download: folder-download
Music: folder-music
Pictures: folder-pictures
Public: folder-publicshare
Templates: folder-templates
Videos: folder-videos

It would be pretty cool if we could create icons for this in a style
that matches the existing user-home icon in our default icon theme (ie
the folder icon with an overlayed embled in the Mist theme).

http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/ArtRequests/issue26 has some more
information on the general idea. And here is another screenshot that can
serve as inspiration:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c0/Leopard_Desktop.png

Any takers ?
