 This is a warning for people wanting to improve the proposals in Round 2.

 The majority of images in SVG format are using Inkscape bleeding edge
 features (like the new implemented blur filter), so the Inkscape from
 FC6 or even Rawhide is too old, you will need to grab a development
 version from Inkscape's SVN and make a build for yourself.
 Alternatively (and I really hate to say this), go to Inkscape website
 and download and install a version in Autopackage format.

IMHO that's grounds enough to gently ping the inkscape packager so a newer
version hits rawhide

 - Borealis, by Máirín Duffy:
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fc7ThemeProposalFedoraBorealis

 'One of the core values of Fedora is only including free and open source
 software, without including non-free software, codecs, drivers, patents,
 etc. We try to be a *pure* operating system. So the main word I'd use to
 describe this theme is pure.'

This theme is a bit too peaceful a static (except for the drapes variant).
We don't want people to get the idea nothing happens in Fedora or a new
release is not a special event. I'd add at least one dynamic element
(shooting star, plane trace, ground activity) to add some life to the
theme.

 - Flying High, by John Baer:
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fc7ThemeProposalFlyingHigh

 'Flying high reflects the level of achievement obtained by the core 7
 release of fedora.'

I like the way the two balloons on try 5 get the idea of community
accross. The other variants either show a single lonely balloon or spread
them too much to convene the group idea.

 - Dreams, by John Baer:
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fc7ThemeProposalFedoraDreams

 'The idea here is you are only limited by what you can imagine.'

I don't really feel any central theme there, though some images are nice.

 - Planet, by Mola Pahnadayan:
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fc7ThemeProposalplanet

 (none stated)

This one has already been discussed. I'll add that the caps on Fedora
Project do not seem to respect usual guidelines

 - Energy Interferences, by Jiri Jakub Masek:
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fc7ThemeProposalEnergyInterferences

 'All of this universe is built on the energy interferences. The theme is
 based on a visualization how could these interferences look if we could
 see them in a *sub-subatomic* level.'

Sorry, but no. We don't need to stress the hardcore engineer/math/geek
aspect of the distro, if anything we need to deemphasize it.

It may be a little abusing and become boring after a while if we put the 
logo on everything, so is worth exploring a few images with the logo put 
discrete, in a corner or without a logo at all.


I like this version very much too, but I am not sure it work as a 
wallpaper (is try 6 in the wallpapers section), because parts of it are 
very contrasting: dark at the top and light at the bottom, I prefer some 
uniformity in my wallpapers, to not have a part of the screen 
distracting my attention. But having something like it for example in 
the Anaconda graphic would be excellent (IMO).
