[Design-team] Supplemental Wallpapers

2010-09-01 Thread Nicu Buculei
Based on the team's vote, Emily created a page with the winners:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F14_Artwork_Supplemental_Wallpapers_Winners

The next step is to re-check the licenses to ensure we are all OK with 
the usage:
- 5 images were submitted by known Fedora contributors, who signed the 
CLA: icon, fabsh, bruce89 and nicubunu, they should be OK;
- me and Emily split the remaining ones and are contacting the authors, 
the images are taken from Flickr and they have Creative Commons licenses 
but we want to check they are OK with the attribution.

I started with my own part:
- mailed and awaiting replies from Hamed Saber, Unhindered by Talent, 
Eneas, Ivan Zuber;
- identified Lavender Kiss as having an inappropriate license, 
CC-BY-ND, which is considered non-Free so not usable in Fedora.

We will also need the help of a packager to push them in the distro, 
Martin or someone else, can you lend a hand?

Let me know when the license check is done.

Is it desirable to put it all in one package
(laughlin-backgrounds-extras) or do we want one package per wallpaper?
I'd incline to the former as it's saner to manage.

Also, do we want to have it on some spins (other then design suite where
it definitely is desirable) / default installation? If so, someone would
need to persuade the people in charge (you know, the spins are always
having issues with size and this would make matters only worse)...

 Erm, how? AFAIK in the wallpaper chooser widget under gnome you cannot
 display anything else than a tootlip with wallpaper name (plus the
 automatic info about what type of wallpaper it is and where it is
 located). I'm not sure about KDE, LXDE and XFCE (KDE uses .desktop
 instead of XML and LXDE and XFCE probably nothing)...

The XML files in /usr/share/gnome-background-properties, at worst I 
believe we can put the author name and license in the image name

Also IIRC at least Mo and Jimmac had improvement/editing suggestions for 
some of the images, I think the time to start playing with them is NOW, 
so everybody can have fun time with GIMP and the photos.

  A couple questions:
  
  * Should the Marketing team come up with some text to replace that
filler text in (1)?  (Obviously people are welcome to participate in
that discussion.)
 
 If the text isn't sufficient, sure. I don't take any issue with it but
 maybe I'm biased. I think freedom is a good differentiation between us
 and other distros which is why I like it :)  
 
  * Does the Design team want additional help with the slides seen in
the mockups at (2)?
 
 YES!!! ZOMG yes.
 
 I think we were thinking of having 5-6 slides:
 
 - one (the first, always) introduces what the heck fedora is
 
 - one (usually the second) talks about our community
 
 - all others (I guess 3 or 4) talk about major features in the new
 release maybe?

I like this setup.  I was thinking that the last 3 or 4 wouldn't all
need to change for every release -- maybe just one or two to feature
the latest bits, with the rest showing features that are important
throughout our releases.  Examples of things important throughout
releases would be general points like standard productivity, or web
development tools.

Just to keep everyone up to date - I've now contacted bslmmers,
imhullot, eflon, joiseyshowaa, and udono about the licensing/attribution
of their photos for inclusion in the package. Nighttime water by
darkmere is licensed CC-by-nc-nd, which I believe is incompatible?

Also, nicubunu mentioned blogging/promoting the supplemental wallpaper
package, but I don't have a blog :) - so is there anyone on the list
with a blog who wants to plug it for us? :D

Re: [Design-team] Reminder: Design Team meeting today (2010 Aug 31)

2010-09-01 Thread Marc Stewart
Couldn't make the meeting this week, but looked over the transcript
earlier. Since nobody volunteered to do the firstboot/anaconda/syslinux
banners, I thought I'd take a stab at it. First pass at the firstboot
sidebanner is here:
http://marcstewart.fedorapeople.org/f14/f14_first_boot_ocean_emergence.png

I've taken the radial lines of Kyle's wallpaper, added some ocean waves
for extra texture, and Mythcat's sprites for highlights. Thoughts and
opinions?

GIMP source (54MB) is in the same directory, and includes the details of
the source images in the comment.

Marc
