[Design-team] 677080 - 'F14' artwork is shown during F-15 installation

2011-03-18 Thread James Laska
Greetings Design team!

Today, the QA team hosted the second of four beta blocker review
meetings to review status of proposed and accepted bugs.  One of the
accepted beta blockers is a left-over from the Alpha and involves using
a more friendly generic artwork, or Fedora 15 final artwork during
installation and firstboot.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=677080

I've observed recent discussions on the list regarding the upcoming
final artwork preparation, it's exciting to see that coming together.
Is that artwork intended to resolve bug#677080, or will more generic
artwork be used to satisfy that issue?  

Please note, that the Beta 'test compose' is scheduled [1] for Tuesday,
March 22.  Ideally, the test compose will include the desired Beta
artwork so we have a chance to validate before the Beta release
candidate.  Please advise if the artwork needed to resolve bug#677080
will not be ready in time.

Thanks,
James

Thanks for the feedback all, I've updated the wiki accordingly.

[Design-team] Release criteria proposal: fedora release artwork

2010-09-10 Thread James Laska
Greetings gang,

From the last 2 F14 blocker bug meetings [1], it became apparent that we
need release criteria to describe how best to prioritize issues related
to Fedora release artwork.  I took an action item to draft up 2 criteria
to describe the expectations around release artwork before Final, and
for the Final release.  

I'd like to propose the following criteria.  As always, comments welcome
and encouraged.

= Fedora 14 Alpha =
 * The default Fedora artwork used must either refer to the current
Fedora release under development (Fedora 14), or reference an interim
release milestone (e.g. Alpha or Beta).  If a release version number is
used, it must match the current Fedora release under development.  This
includes artwork used in the installer, firstboot, graphical boot,
graphical login and desktop background.

= Fedora 14 Final =
 * The proposed final Fedora artwork is included and enabled by default
for the installer, graphical boot, firstboot, graphical login and
desktop background.  All Fedora artwork must be consistent with the
proposed final theme, and if any artwork contains a graphical version
number, the version number used must match the Fedora release number.
Generic release artwork (e.g. Alpha, Beta, Development) must not be used
for the installer, graphical boot, firstboot, graphical login or the
desktop background.

Thanks,
James

Oops, I missed the meeting.  I was hoping to ask for ideas/input on
drafting release criteria around the artwork for Fedora 14.  

Thanks,
James

[Design-team] Release criteria discussion: artwork

2010-08-30 Thread James Laska
Greetings design team,

During F13 testing, the idea of drafting release criteria [1] around
Fedora artwork surfaced.  This topic came up again during F-14-Alpha as
a result of bug#621027 (Graphical screen in anaconda shows F-13).

The QA team could use design-team input to develop accurate release
criteria around artwork availability and desktop integration.  Please
note, there is already Final release criteria around the desktop
icons/menus.  These criteria are mainly for display manager and desktop
backgrounds, firstboot sidebar+banners and other release artwork.

Perhaps for the Beta ... we assert that the installer must display
artwork for the appropriate release under test (e.g. Fedora 14 installer
cannot display Fedora 13 artwork)?  Anything else to consider for the
beta?

Perhaps for the Final release ... we assert that the installer,
firstboot, display manager (gdm, kdm), and desktop environment all use
the appropriate Fedora 14 artwork.  This includes banners, sidebars,
backgrounds.  I know there are more considerations, such as multiple
background sizes.  Are there additional artwork considerations for the
Final release?

NOTE: The above of course makes assumptions about the design-team
release schedule.  I'm certainly not familiar with those dates, so
feedback encouraged.

Thanks,
James

I'm not familiar with validating desktop background packages.  Are there
specific steps that you'd like people to follow when validating
backgrounds?

I'll be happy to pull the instructions into a test case [1] if you would
find this useful.

Thanks,
James
