These are all names of (imaginary) people, it seems... For Cimrman you
can go with probably anything (since he invented everything...) also it
appeals to me because I am Czech... Stradivari would be probably nice
for taking some parts of violins and building the themes around it,
similar for Elvis (though with guitar or just music in general). Not
sure about the rest... Maybe others would have some ideas on these.

Quetzalcoatl

You might have some cultural problems if you use this literally (like you could 
do if you used anything Maori) though it has a really cool style. (I love those 
block style eagles that look good as a tattoo.)

The amount of time required here is very low, so I would say it's well
spent. :-)  Remember that we're just discussing themeability, not
actually asking people to design things yet.  Once the community
decides on a name, we'll be able to proceed with the step that
actually takes considerable time. ;-)

As for pronunciation, I think that "Bordeaux" and arguably "Tettnang"
fall into the same category as "Quetzalcoatl."  (I remember first
encountering this name as a young boy and I thought it was really cool
then, so I'm happy to see it on this list.)

We still need a default. We could pick one of the ones we select to be
the default one, but have others along the same theme available as
options. Adding another dialog I think isn't a good idea.

Well it doesn't mean that we couldn't, for example, take a sourced image
we decide should be the default and manipulate it or make some changes
to it. Also, we'd still have to create from scratch all the various
banners and splashes, etc. Or it could even be we select something we
think is awesome and openly-licensed and use it heavily as inspiration,
but we can still create an original work.

To be honest, I'm just really exhausted having everything be last-minute
and involve so much effort in a short-notice period of time. The problem
is, right now, as team lead the buck stops with me so if we're not ready
it's my responsibility to drop everything in my life and spend late
nights coming up with something. If we didn't have Samuele helping out
the past couple of releases we might have something horrible like the F9
background again - but at the same time we can't lean on Samuele all the
time either.

It seems like it would be nice, at least for just one release, to take a
breather, try out an approach like this, and if we decide we don't like
it then there is no reason we shouldn't abandon it. 

The main problem for me is that every time the topic of release art
comes up, I don't think 'fun' and 'cool', I think 'pain' and get a
feeling of dread and despair :( And that's not cool. And after going
through all that hard work and time, still we get negative comments (and
I understand we can't satisfy everyone, but that on top of having to
work so hard and not have much fun, makes it even less enjoyable.) I
feel that this problem should be addressed so we can make theming fun
again, but I'm not sure how. This was the idea I came up with but I'm
very open to other proposed solutions.

Is this fair or am I being overly dramatic?

We don't have to have so many. We can aim for, 2 general-purpose, 1 for
pink-pony lovers like me, and 1 to appeal to children. Three personas,
four images, to me this seems quite do-able?

Why run our own? Such a project may run on our infrastructure, but is 
better, IMO, to be an independent, upstream project so everyone is 
encouraged to contribute and to use the images.

Pretty much like the Open Clip Art Library (openclipart.org) but with 
raster images, not SVG. It can use even the same infrastructure, ccHost.

That's the city in Michigan? What is cool about it? Why people would

care about that city? (sorry to be so blunt, but *a lot* of people would

think like this)


he is talking about the city in Algeria i think. that is a more historical city.

I took Mo's concept and Charlie's concept and mashed them together into 
the "f" constellation Shreyank suggested, with a milky-way-like swirl 
for the vertical part of the "f" and the rocket swoop as the horizontal 
bar. (You could also use a shooting star, it was just faster to 
copy-paste the rocket. Plus a shooting star would require art skills I 
don't yet possess.)

I also put the image and svg source in the 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F13_Artwork#Concepts.2C_WIP_Designs 
gallery but I think I broke the table in doing so - it runs off the 
right side of my screen now. (The F12 gallery does the same thing, so 
I'm not sure how to fix this one.)

Just a thought if anyone wants to help. I am going to look through photos from 
the Galaxy Zoo project, and I will bet you anything that if you look for long 
enough you will find a real galaxy shaped like a fedora 'f' Shell we have a 
little competition?

Interesting. That idea was discussed during Fudcon Toronto 2009. That
could be good for Easter Eggs or for Widescreen.

[Design-team] fedora rocket wallpaper

2010-01-20 Thread brian hurren
 Here's a thought, what about using a Saturn 5 blueprint. it's clean,
elegant, simple lines, represents cutting edge technology, a milestone
in history. it communicates an idea and a dream. A genesis of thought.
Everything that fedora is And its blue! :) 


I have e-mailed Marshell space flight center to se if we can get a copy of 
something.

Re: [Design-team] Default Wallpaper for Goddard F13

I've been following the posts on this subject and here is what I am
thinking:

What if its an outer space scene with stars (having animated twinkles
... for the boot-up background image)?  There would be asteriods and,
may be, one or two planets with 'our' rocket somewhere in the picture. 
The scene would have a blueish hue to it.  Its the kind of thing that is
best done with a 3D application like 'Blender' and rendered with V-Ray
or Yafray (and retouched in GIMP).  I cannot help thinking about a
wallpaper I downloaded from CG-Arena ... just to help our imaginations
as I can't think of anything closer at the moment.  My reference is a
bit busy but I hope it paints the right mental pictures.

See: http://fedoradesigns.twohotis.fastmail.fm/OuterSpace_Sample.jpg

I also see that we have limited time to agree on this based on

Re: [Design-team] Moon shadows

2010-02-14 Thread brian hurren
I thought that it had to be blue because that's what the fedora color is. If it 
stretches on a wide screen just load it into GIMP and add a black bit to the 
left hand side.

Hi,

RE: The composition
I put your wallpaper on my wide screen (2880 x 1800) and guess what I found:
The round shape is lost - it becomes oval and starts looking rather strange for 
planets.

RE: The impression
The whole picture looks too much 'cryogenic' - there is not a single trace of 
hot colour at all. Otherwise it is impressive and looks like a glowing glass 
(some traces of light lost in time and space, perhaps).

By the way what is the general idea standing behind this - if your computer 
screen is the coolest thing (literally) in the room it could 'cool down' 
everything around it. I don't see the point. Anyway.

RE: Market impact
It looks very good for it is melancholic, but honestly speaking, do you really 
think that this suggests bright future to any product (forget about the OS).

RE: My view
This OS is
 neither a spaceship nor a space control centre - maybe something digital or 
abstract will look better. I don't know and I am not the person to give 
recommendations. This is just an opinion. 


Have a nice day
Regards

[Design-team] wallpaper idea

2010-02-26 Thread brian hurren
You wanted abstract - You got it. Here is a picture I found of 
davis-monthan-air-force base. I fist saw the image in an article in a 
newspaper. At first I thought it was Egyptian hieroglyphics. Then i saw a link, 
Hieroglyphs are historic and so is goddard. Abstarcting this as hieroglyphics 
might make a good wallpaper.
