Re: [Design-team] First few jingles
Hy, With regard to issue #114, here are my first few attempts at some jingles. Comments obviously welcome! http://soundcloud.com/idlewords/sets/fedora-jingles I had a look and I like the sounds very much! Nice tunes and a nice set overall. But I also hear it from the original Ticket-perspective. The original intention was to have a jingle to put in front of podcasts or as a sound carpet under some talks, etc. Now I see that there are different interpretations of such a jingle and some also want a kind of startup Sound. I think for THAT someone should put a new ticket in the tracker. For now I'm searching for a complete jingle. My idea was some kind of having the letters speak for themself - f-e-do-(r)-a ... and playing with our four foundations (freedom - friends - features - first) and build some kind of melody around it with a nice beat, bassline, etc. The jingle should have about 0:40 - 1:10 min. in length and also should contain some elements for a loop. If you take a closer look at the podcast I do (see http://blog.radiotux.de/2011/01/16/fedora-weekly-news-fwn258/ ) you can hear that there is a loop in it and I have from week to week different length to deal with (after translate the main parts from our Fedora Weekly News ...). So my goal is to have one jingle to play with and to have enough base material for such productions. Maybe you can play with these ideas and try to implement them. The point about innovative is also as to talk about which car should someone drive and so I even do not want to start that ;-). I like that sound as an idea and I hope that there will be more. Also there is the question if we want a more or less generic one or a Release-based (for now Nightingale). For my idea as pointed out in Ticket #114 I was searching for a generic jingle and maybe some variations around it. The soundbase should be later workable in classic, jazz, modern, funky, electro, etc. themes so that i.e. some song can also made out of it as some more themes as a startsound or other sounds. If we have one readymade jingle we can improve it for next releases... For now I like the base-idea from #3 and #9 but as I said its only a start ;-) But a very good one! mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards Henrik Heigl - wonde...@fedoraproject.org PGP/GnuPG: 8237 D432 0616 D567 DBC6 3FE3 0D52 B374 F468 A5F0 ___ design-team mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team

I am new to Fedora but a die-hard Linux fan. I was driven to Fedora as I became frustrated with the other distros as their communities were not helpful, their support for my hardware was weak (Fedora is the only distro I've got the ATI catalyst GPU driver working on!), and the loops you have to jump through to give back to the community. Fedora seems like a great project that I'd like to offer some of my spare time to (not that I have a lot with two full-time jobs and an upcoming band!). I am not comfortable offering my services to the dev team __yet__ as I don't have the time to learn the system that well.

Re: [Design-team] 14 December 2010 meeting minutes - the wallpaper
Hello there, here are some input ... Topic: Fedora 15 default wallpaper == So this was a tough topic and we discussed it for at an hour. The summary is that GNOME 3 is likely our most prominent Fedora 15 feature and the GNOME 3 team requested of our team that the wallpaper for the GNOME desktop in Fedora 15 should be the upstream GNOME wallpaper for F15 only, as sort of a special-edition / celebrating the first distro release of GNOME 3. The complication here is that they requested the GNOME wallpaper shouldn't be used by default by other spins because they would like a unique, recognizable brand for GNOME. The GNOME spin is the default download on our website, so this would result in us not having full Fedora branding in our default download nor across our offerings. The GNOME team has a challenge in that they would like to set a recognizable GNOME visual style across distros, but it's hard to do that when distros have distro-specific default wallpapers and brands of their own to promote. I personally asked myself at this point how other distros react on that. Do other Distros put in that wallpaper as default as well? How many are there? The wallpaper in question is viewable here: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-themes-standard/plain/themes/Adwaita/backgrounds/stripes.jpg Well, personally like it as a lead, a scribble, an idea to go with, but if anybody of our design team has made such a wallpaper the Design-Guide and other hints and tipps would came up. I want to note that the GNOME team approached us reasonably early now in the Fedora 15 cycle, and made this request of us recognizing that the Board has granted this design team the decision of the default wallpaper for Fedora. Hmm, do we not have that right of decision what design, wallpapers and Iconset we use? Sounds a little bit strange... While understandably some of you may interpret this as a negative against against our team, I want to make it clear there is no ill-will in this request and rather the GNOME 3 team is dealing with a very challenging branding situation and is hoping for our support. That being said, it does seem from the meeting that many of you are against this request. I've brought the matter to Jared's attention and is currently analyzing the situation, weighing all of our options, and that looking for some sort of win-win compromise for both our teams. In either case, we will need a Fedora wallpaper design for Fedora 15, so we should continue our efforts there. Hmm, maybe we can make a little Design-challenge out of it: use THAT wallpaper and make it fedora... Is it also possible to discuss that issue together with the Gnome guys in one of the next IRC meetings as well? Maybe some things will come clearer then. It can be a very innovative thing to have one wallpaper in ALL distros which uses Gnome, but I think there we all need some democratic consensus... maybe... For me it has a taste of one big player can come and ask for something and the boss tells the teams what to do - even if some/most of them are not so fine with that decision. I'm not saying that it is so, but what if we decide against to use the Gnome dictated wallpaper? What if all other distros use that vs. no-one will use it? Can we risk to have our own Fedora-Branding vs. loose against beeing innovative? What will RH say if we decide against that? Will RH make a big black marker in a book and next time we get some kind of punishment, because we are the rebellious child? I know I overdraw that picture a bit ... maybe not ... but the fact is that this seem to be a serious point of decision. Topic: Fedora 15 sketching session == You can connect to it using sftp or ssh. SSH to fedorapeople.org, then cd to /srv/groups/designteam/Resources/Fedora Release Themes/F15/Concept Sketches. Wel, I have no access to that directory (can see it, but no uploading other then my own dir). So my idea could be found at http://wonderer.fedorapeople.org/F15_sketch001_wonderer.png Hope that helps a bit... mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards Henrik Heigl - wonde...@fedoraproject.org PGP/GnuPG: 8237 D432 0616 D567 DBC6 3FE3 0D52 B374 F468 A5F0 ___ design-team mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team

[Design-team] Design FAD 2011
Hello there, for quite a while there is an idea in the head of some of the Design-Team members to get together for a FAD. As far as I know Design-team had not something like it IRL, so the idea came up to put something together near the next LGM [1] in Montreal. That would be the weekend May 7-8 or better 14-15 depending on how much we want to do this weekend. I set up a first wikipage for that [2] and hope we can get some budget for some to attend there. I think someone employed withing redhat or near there should be able to get those up and running (mizmo, maybe you are our best choise ...?). If someone from around Montreal or around have some ideas please also put the ideas into the wiki or here on the list. What do you think about it?

[Design-team] The Archive
Hy there, for some time we all working on tasks where we reuse templates, pictures, Textual templates, etc. for all kind of work. But there is no place where we keep that collected work, that snippets of small peaces that could be reused in other ways. So, I had a small IRC talk with rbergeron and that gave a kick-off for the archive page [1]. It can/should be a kind of overlapping Startpage for Art/Design/photo/Textual/Marketing thingy. The idea is to collect these pieces out there in one place to reuse them for other work and not to invent the wheel new every time ;-) One of the first big issues / goals / whatever could be to have some kind of program-package installed on fedorahosted with maybe a small local part to manage some kind of photobucket (e.g. like digikam). Maybe you guys have some ideas or use already some kind of multiuser Photo-managing tool with tools like we all know from flickr Co. that we could use for our own. Maybe it is a stupid idea, but I would like to have some kind of event photos from events Fedora people are on in a good quality (technical as well as compositional) to put those on e.g. flyers, presentations, Marketing Material, etc. In this gallery there also can be screenshots from different Releases also as from some general Programms we have in the distro over the years. Also e.g. some Backgrounds for presentation-templates, etc. I already posted a small Blogpost on how to make better event photos and the resonance was pretty good on that [2] so my impression is that there are more photographers are out that we can think of... Yes, I also know of that pain-in-the-ass discussion about model-contract, but hopefully that will come to an end soon. All I can offer at that moment is a common TfP [3] contract I translated into english and which is used in europe as far as I know and which I linked on the archive page so far. So, what you all think about that? Ideas? Also take a look at #fedora-photo if you want. mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards Henrik Heigl - wonde...@fedoraproject.org PGP/GnuPG: 8237 D432 0616 D567 DBC6 3FE3 0D52 B374 F468 A5F0 [1] = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Archive [2] = http://www.braincache.de/wp/2010/04/08/better-event-photos/ [3] = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_for_print ___ design-team mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team

Re: [Design-team] Proposal
Hy, here are my 2 Cents... Launch a challenge in existing artist communities through a cooperation protocol between Fedora and those communities, for some quick examples: Sounds good. With the right words you can reach very much people. * opendesktop.org (gnome-look.org, kde-look.org, etc); * deviantart.com * gnome.org and kde.org (?? this people are most likely buried with work already) * suggestions from current artists This challenge should be a call to arms oriented campaign in which artists are invited to produce artwork for Fedora Project. As things are not going to be much random, this is what I though that is going to be needed: #1 - Fedora 14 Theme this has to be decided prior. The Theme is a very wide area ... #2 - A document that provides guidelines for participants to comply (this should be accomplished by the Fedora Design Team, as it's their field of action/expertise). See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Logo/UsageGuidelines2 Thats the first one I found. I think some Artworkers have some pre-prepared Links to send them out ;-) #3 - A place where artists can submit their work. (this shouldnt be too complicated and I would suggest to use a wiki page for this). See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F13_Artwork (as soon as the Name and Slogan is ready artists have enough input to go on). Then they should (as always) send a Mail to the artwork mailing list for discussion. If you want to work with them in a more collaborate way you can use gobby and/or etherpad-clones like http://typewith.me/. Then we also have fedoratalk with some conference rooms. You see there are many ways of communicating together. You just have to use it. #4 - Licensing for submitted artwork (this is for sure something I have no knowledge, I believe that eventually there are people here who have done similiar things in the past, so selecting and highlighting such would be great). License (as you already know) will be cc-licenced. #5 - A committee to analyze the submitted artwork. We can run this as Fedora or eventually also invite people from other communities, such as GNOME, KDE, etc. If this artwork is going to be enabled by Fedora and distributed for KDE/GNOME, makes sense to me to have someone from their project on this also. See such option as strengthening bonds between us and them. Hmm, my personal opinion would be that the Artwork-Team and the Mailinglist and IRC around it should be sufficient and maybe there are some of them who are happy to join your idea. #6 - A proper Marketing/Communication campaign for this. We should be able to reach everyone. #7 - Decide what kind of artwork we want (ex: GNOME Meta Themes, KDE themes, Icon Themes, wallpapers, videos ?). - Wallpapers (several ones around the Theming) - Iconsets - Countdown Graphic - Banners (Alpha banner, Beta Banner, Release banner, Countdown Banner, Download Banner, Website Banner, etc.) - Splash-screen / Install screen - DVD/CD sleeves - Release Party Posters For Spins and Window Managers (Gnome, KDE, XFCE, LXDE...) I see some timing / ressource / including / coordination problems. Tip for the time-planing: do not forget Testing and QA work in the timeline. #8 - Some Ambassadorial support work. I would recon that _current_ artists who are ambassadors should have a key role here. As artists they might be enrolled on other existing communities, they for sure talk the same language as other artists and know how to attract people in a more effective way than we can at Marketing. As for standard non-artist Ambassadors, I believe they can help a lot also, as running such project is mainly Public Relations work (something I suck at). I think thats less a Fedora Marketing (global) issue than more a PR (localized) issue to reach them. Every artist lives in his or her small world and you have to reach them more or less indididually. But you will come very soon to that point ;-) Some doubts: - If we run such campaign, who decides if we can include or not community based artwork? Can we freely include on F14 some extra stuff that we get from such a campaign ? Shure. Why not?! Our artwork is fully Community based... - The tools... we are promoting open source, but if we scroll through Deviant Art for instance, there is work which is distributed with a friendly license, but is generated in maybe non-friendly software, such as OS X platforms and eventually not GIMP/Inkscape stuff. Should we apply restrictions and check for headers and traces of non-oss in the submitted artwork? There are no restrictions. There never was. You only have to provide your work under cc-license and the sourcecode so that modifications can be done from everyone. - I would like submitters to place their artwork in place where FAS registration is demanded. In the rush of submitting their work, they will go through that step with some pleasure. If such is done, with a single group

Re: [Design-team] Inkscape Course for Jr. High Students
Hy, My Red Hat office, the Boston office, is going to be doing a program with a local middle school / jr. high (students are 11-14 I think) and Cool stuff. But i do really not know if I should say I regret you or I'm pleased for you. I have done several years of Computer Trainings (mostly Certified stuff for the other big Computer Company with an M...) and also complete Webdesign lectures, Tutoriales, etc. Tipp: Always be prepared! Be prepared that the sessions are to short. Be prepared that the sessions are to short. Be prepared to have more Exercises. Be prepared to have less Exercises. If they are 11-14 years maybe you pack also a bunch of the f-tatoos ;-) ... I know you do :-) I'm going to be teaching a 9 session (45 minutes a piece) course in Inkscape to the students. We are trying to introduce the students to the concept of free software open content licenses such as Creative Commons, plus teach them how to use this useful tool that might help them in their academic career. Do they have any skills? maybe you can get the teaching-plan from the school and see what they usualy learn at this time of the year and implement the incscape stuff (if they have in history some 9/11 stuff - draw skyscrapers, etc.). In the first lesson I would only show them Incscape and look how far you come. also you get the feeling how fast they learn. But now some random thoughts: In the second lesson I would first do some rework from last session and then go forward. I would also try to make some more businesslike things. maybe some Flyer graphics or presentations, etc. Anywhere between Session 3 and 5 I would do some RGB vs. CMYK Color stuff... In Session 5 it says play the White Stripes Creative Commons video ... video ;-) ? For session 7 you can also play some music from e.g. jamendo in the background; bring the kids into the mood... Session 7 to 9 is about building a band ... I allways have your sentence help them in their academic career in mind. Maybe there could be a) an interresting idea wich b) but a bit more businesslike as an alternative project. Maybe they also could work in a small groupe like a design-department or so (depends on the time and how far you get them there ;-). A nice thing I would found very cool as a kid is If I had after the Sessions something they could show around and say Hey, that I have mad. And it looks very cool, right?! maybe the Albumcover produced by you / your Team with a pressed cc-licenced music compilation CD or so. (I also have materials from a 1-week class I taught at Red Hat High with John Bintz and MentalGuy from Inkscape: http://linuxgrrl.com/learn/Comic_Book_Creation_with_Inkscape) Maybe you could ask the kids if they want a band or a comicbook. both could be done in the time. If you are through with the Incscape in a class you could write something together so that it maybe ported to other countrys as well (if possible). mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards Henrik Heigl - wonde...@fedoraproject.org PGP/GnuPG: 8237 D432 0616 D567 DBC6 3FE3 0D52 B374 F468 A5F0 ___ design-team mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
Re: [Design-team] Design Team Planet (need your quick help!)
Hy Nicu, Sorry, no hackergotchi, because I'm to often behind the camera and at LinuxTag/FUDCon Berlin noone took a picture of me :-( Ops! I feel awful about that... I knew I should have spent more time at the booth, sorry. no sorry needed! that was only a short reminder to myself ;-) I remember only once I got a talk that someone took a good picture of me (but i wear a red jacket with silver stripes ... you can imagine what happens...) and also for the picturebook I do not really have a pic. Maybe we should establish some kind of Fedora-Photo-booth or so... mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards Henrik Heigl - wonde...@fedoraproject.org ___ design-team mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team

Re: [Design-team] Constantine
Hy there, the mosaic idea combined with something else (no, not the F-Logo, to simple...) out of the Constantine-theme maybe?! The east meets west slogan i also find attractive. Something like a fist holding a sword made out of mosaic stones or in steampunk lineart OR a line art made of the Constantine head and also out of mosaic stones... I'm also thinking about a rotating Constantine head, but thats more for the wish-list as screensaver ;-) mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards Henrik Heigl - wonde...@fedoraproject.org PGP/GnuPG: 8237 D432 0616 D567 DBC6 3FE3 0D52 B374 F468 A5F0 Joost Elfering schrieb: the ideas of mosaic are good. but to get all the ideas out in the open we need to keep an open mind. try to come with more ideas about what we can use from the associations. i think we now have: - mosaic - the line art from wonderer (http://www.uweschmidt.org/files/images/athene.png, http://maartenvoetbal.punt.nl/upload/Ajax_logo.jpg) SO: what can we do with the concept east meets west? I think this is an interesting concept as this was one of the things from Constantine I. This can be seen as a connecting two worlds, building together. some inspirational images: http://images.google.ru/images?hl=enclient=firefox-arls=org.mozilla%3Aru%3Aofficialum=1newwindow=1sa=1q=istanbul+bazaarbtnG=Search+imagesaq=foq= http://images.google.ru/images?hl=enclient=firefox-arls=org.mozilla%3Aru%3Aofficialum=1newwindow=1sa=1q=istanbul+bazaarbtnG=Search+imagesaq=foq= yope out.

Maybe some blue-metalic-rendering thingy (I just let this idea flow around your heads ;-) ). About the implementation, keep in mind that we decided to go with something vector and simple as a *default* (along with a few more, non release linked, additional options). Also I had the the Lion we had in Fedora11 in my head and now maybe another animal ... do we want the same theming or something new? We can't go with another animal (no, not even a panda :D), that would be to close for the previous release. Had a bit of a go to see how easy it is to make mosaics and its not that hard. We could make a large mosaic of the many fedora values. I made a little freedom birdie (attached). Like most mosaics, it looks ok but only form a distance so it would have to be a part of a large design. ___ design-team mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org mailto:design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team ___ design-team mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team ___ design-team mailing list design-team@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
