Thanks Paul! I have also created a general requirements page on the wiki to help give people an idea of what we are looking for. That page is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Store/GeneralRequirements Anyone interested, feel free to post to the list with questions or contact me on IRC with questions, I can be found in #fedora-mktg as iWolf.

Store SIG mockup page
I am sure several have seen some of the things the Store SIG has been working on. If not, here is a link to the SIG for a brief summary: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Store I come asking for some help from the art team in creating a rough mockup of what a store.fp.o page might look like. I have also placed a request on the Page Requests section of the websites group as well. The Fedora store page at this time is to be a place to help direct people to the locations they can purchase Fedora merchandise from. We are looking for a mockup of a page that can provide links for Ambassadors looking for merchandise in bulk and for Fedora users looking to purchase merchandise and will ultimately be redirected to a third-party vendor. In addition we would like to be able to showcase some product on the landing page. We also have a general requirements page listed here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Store/GeneralRequirements If anyone is interested in helping out, that would be great. Just let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! Jeffrey ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Is this something the Store SIG > could find a way to put together? The Store SIG could certainly provide a place to make merchandise available once we have a store in place. The Store SIG is currently wrapping up evaluating 3rd party vendors to handle the store front. Right now the current front runner is spreadshirt.com. The types of products from their store is more limited, but quality of prints is supposed to be higher (waiting for an order from them to be sure). But yes, the goal is for when we have a store.fp.o site is to allow designs to be uploaded to the store for sale to the public. We just aren't quite there yet.

Release Party Flyers
Hello Art Team, FAmSCo is trying to get Ambassadors to host release parties during the first week or so of the Fedora 9 release in their area. Francesco announced the idea to the Ambassadors list here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2008-March/msg00145.html As part of this, I would like to make it even easier for Ambassadors by having some flyers they can download off the wiki to hang up in their area announcing their local release party (and, uh, who am I kidding - I need some flyers for the release party we are planning here in Central Ohio...). I am thinking just a one sheet flyer that we can print up and hang on University bulletin boards, coffee shop hangouts, computer stores, etc. Now, the dates will most likely vary between area for their release party date - so in order to be most useful it would be handy for the average non-art person to be able to modify the date, time, location and a little area for any special notes. Is this something someone could help me out on? Thanks! Jeffrey ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Fwd: Release Party Flyers
Hi Art Team, I posted the below to the art list late last week, it doesn't look like I had any takers. The Fedora Ambassador Steering Committee is planning on making the Release Party push to the Ambassadors at the beginning of the upcoming week. I would like to be able to provide a generic flyer to ambassadors that they can use with minimal changes to print up for their local release party. I have absolutely zero artistic ability and could use some help with this flyer. I am picturing a one-sheet flyer themed with F9 graphic(s) and a text box somewhere on the page where the ambassador can fill in their release party date, time, location and any special events they might be doing at the party. It would be good if the flyers could be printed in color or black and white and still look presentable. If I can provide you with more information, please don't hesitate to let me know. If someone could help me out with this, I would greatly appreciate it - as would the other FAmSCo members. Thanks!

Thanks Máirín! Let me run some ideas by FAmSCo and then I will post back here with more info for the text. Is it possible to have a text box area where an Ambassador could open the flyer and modify the date, time, location and notes section themselves? My hope is to provide ambassadors with a general release party flyer that they can add in their own date, time and location. That will allow us to use this flyer as a basis for all of the Release Parties we hope to see thrown shortly after the launch of Fedora 9.

Well, it doesn't have to be that simple. Here is what I have in mind, the heading text and graphic above and then towards the bottom a spot fill in the local information of date, time, location, etc. I figure most of these flyers will be on 8.5"x11" paper, so we can post a png for printing in that size on the wiki. If people need a different size, they can tweak it from the svg we also post. With the date, time, location section blank an ambassador can load the png file into The Gimp and add in their own text in the area we left. Do you think this would work? We (i.e. I) can post directions on how to modify the flyer with that information if you think it is at least doable. Thanks for taking time to discuss this with me. I know you folks are swamped with trying to get the theme finished up before the freeze.

Very, very nice looking. Thank you for putting all the work into the mockup. And I like your idea of how to pull this off. A store.fp.o page where we can showcase the products and then links from there to take people to the external site(s) we choose for actual purchase of the product. I think that could work well. And I love the bulk orders idea as well. This would make producing material in bulk for local shows so much easier for ambassadors.
