Re: [Design-team] Fedora Project Board Design Team Status Meeting [Fwd: Fedora Board Recap 2010-05-20]
I haven't had much time to contribute, however I would be more than happy on helping people ramp up on open source tool via irc. --pcon Ps thanks to everyone that did a wonderful job with f13 On May 21, 2010 3:23 PM, Máirín Duffy du...@fedoraproject.org wrote: Hello my design rockstar colleagues, Yesterday I was invited to represent our team at a public Fedora Board meeting. In the past couple weeks or so the Board has been setting up meetings with Fedora team representatives, to provide updates on what their team has been working on both for F13 and outside of the release, and to talk about the team's future plans and any ways the Board can help. The log from that meeting is here: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-board-meeting/2010-05-20/fedora_board.2010-05-20-16.01.log.html I'd like to give you a summary: OUR STATUS == One of our ongoing goals is to get greater community participation in creating the release artwork for Fedora. For F13 we've done quite well. We were able to have artwork checked in the Alpha, the earliest yet. We also had wide participation on the artwork, perhaps the widest yet: - We worked together on a single concept for the wallpaper rather than battling each other, so we had a cooperative and collaborative process for F13. Many, many folks were involved in the ideation and rendering process for the wallpaper, including Luya Tshimbalanga, Charlie Brej, Mel Chua, Samuele Storari, Mola Pahnadayan, and Kyle Baker (new contributor!) - Alexander Smirnov rocked the house with both the small release banner designs, countdown banners, and media artwork - The main banner for release day was designed by Fabian Scherschel (new contributor!) - Martha Benitez contributed additional media art (new contributor!) - Nelson Marques contributed light scribe media art designs (new contributor!) - Tatica Leandro and myself designed the release party poster - I did only the firstboot and anaconda splashes on my own! Of course we can always improve and of course we can always use more contributors but I think we did ourselves pretty proud this release, so congrats everybody!!! OUR FUTURE == I think you'll agree our biggest challenges for the future are: - retaining our current talent - recruiting more talent - continuing to pump out awesome artwork using FLOSS tools, improving our reputation. - spreading the usage of FLOSS creative tools and assets! Recently Red Hat hired an extremely talented new visual designer, Kyle Baker, who you've met here on the list before. Kyle's background is in design - he does not have a technical background - and his experience is from using Adobe products (as much as we hate it, the current industry standard.) However, Kyle is excited to be contributing to free open source software and is interested in converting over to the FLOSS design tools that we use - so he is highly motivated to make the jump. That being said, through the process of trying to get him set up to join in our community and start contributing to some of the things that we do, we've gained a fresh perspective on just how hard it is for talented folks who really want to help our cause but have the technical chops of a designer. Actually, I think Kyle has a lot more tech knowledge than a lot of typical designers. With the Board then I brought up the three challenges designers face in trying to join our team: 1 - Most designers are familiar with the Adobe tools. Our tools are foreign to them and will take time to ramp up on. 2 - Open source and free licensing, especially for imagery/content and fonts, is complicated. Designers need to understand the licenses we work with in order to contribute effectively. 3 - The workflow we follow and the tools we use to collaborate are foreign to most designers. Initial setup is the most difficult - ssh keys, learning trac, learning mediawiki, learning how to use a mailing list, IRC, sshing into fedorapeople.org to make a .planet file, mounting our shared drive on fedorapeopleorg - each one is not too bad on its own, but pile them up together and you have a mess. We don't have any choice on #2 we have a little bit of wiggle room with #1 on how strict we decide to be. #3, however, seems like it hurts all of us to no good end and it seems to be something maybe we as a community could solve. The bulk of the log with the Board is discussion of these problems and how we might solve them. Kyle and I had a brainstorming session on this yesterday morning; we were thinking maybe some kind of single webui front end to some of the tools we already use might help alleviate the problem. Kyle just posted an awesome blog post on our ideas to Planet Fedora today, check it out here: http://blogs.fedoraproject.org/wp/kybaker/2010/05/21/creative-open-sorcery/ What do you think? Ideas?

Re: [Design-team] Proper resolution instead of scaling (Help out in Bugzilla)
I think I can take a stab at explaining what is going on. They are requesting that the system tray icon for transmission be refactored (for lack of a better word). When you design an icon at 48x48 it will not necessarily look correct at 24x24 or 16x16, because of the way the lines become rendered. The svg it self should be resized to the appropriate size and aligned to the pixel grid of that size. There is an official term for it and Mizmo has given me a link to this but I can't find it right now. If someone doesn't chime in with it by tomorrow morning (EST) I can dig it out of my chat logs. Hope this helps a little bit. --pcon On Sun, Apr 4, 2010 at 2:55 AM, Misha Shnurapet zayzay...@yandex.ru wrote: Hello, Design Team!

Re: [Design-team] Inkscape Course for Jr. High Students
I love the idea and overall concepts that you've given here. I tend to agree with what's been said that it seems pretty fast. I think that you might want to look at removing 8 9 and extending some of the other ones. Maybe leave those there for the students that are ahead. Or maybe have the last day be a free-for-all day where you can let them do whatever they want. And offer up 8 9 as suggestions to get them started. I would also take the time to talk about file formats and their differences when you get to exercise 6. A lot of people don't know when you should use what type. But overall I'm jealous and wish I could be doing it!
