mosaico perspective mockups
by Máirín Duffy
Hi!
As per Paul's suggestion to try to modify the perspective of María's
mosaico designs to make it vibrate a little less with icons on the
desktop, I did some experimentation today in Inkscape with perspective.
http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/temp/f12%20mosaic/
The source SVG is in the directory as well. The two gimp ones I just
poked around at in the gimp, I didn't do too much with them so I didn't
bother uploading the source.

Fedora Design Spin
by Martin Sourada
Hi,
I'm not very much up to date with this... What has happened to the Art
Studio spin (or whatever it was called) we were trying to make? I've
just seen a message on desktop-list proposing dropping gimp from Desktop
Spin (the infamous size issues), so it would probably make sense to
resurrect the idea of having a spin for (not only) Fedora designers with
all the apps we use, like gimp, inkscape, blender, scribus, etc.
possibly with also useful content like templates, brushes, etc.

[F12 Artwork] Constantine backgrounds packages
by Martin Sourada
Hi all,
I've just put together initial packages containing the Constantine
wallpapers I consider (based on the feedback we received) to be "worth"
putting in for Alpha. There is constantine-backgrounds package [1] which
contains tatica's mocaico and Mo's and Nicu's underwater mosaic, both as
slide-show (switching between those two once twice per hour) and
separately. Next there is constantine-backgrounds-extras package [2]
which contains Samuele's 4flowers and 4horses, Jayme's Constantine
Statue, Charlie's bird mosaic and tatica's pruebas and freedom. I've
created 16:10 and 4:3 versions for all the included images in 1600x1000,
resp. 1600x1200 resolution.
The desire is to select one of those two in constantine-backgrounds to
be the F12's default, and in the extras package we'll put four selected
designs, chosen from either the two packages or from external sources.
If these packages are OK with everyone -- I'd especially like people to
test it on 4:3 screens as I have only 16:10 and to check if I hadn't
omitted some popular design -- I'll submit them for inclusion in Fedora.
Thanks,
Martin

Final wallpaper selection
by Paul W. Frields
According to the Design schedule[1], today is the day to have the
Alpha wallpapers bundled up in a package. I believe Martin said that
he could do the packaging, but was waiting on a selection by the
team. If I'm not mistaken, the things that need to happen are:
* The team needs to decide on a selection of wallpaper for the F12
Alpha release today.
* Ensure Martin knows the selection and packages the selection(s) into
Rawhide, replacing the Leonidas backgrounds, if possible, to save
space.
Did I correctly capture everything?

Fwd: Re: [Fedora-legal-list] License for wallpapers in old Fedora releases

Here is the reply I received after asking for a license change for the
wallpapers in old Fedora versions:

So, I should have caught this initially, but Red Hat Legal noticed that
all of these images contain the Fedora logo. Accordingly, we can't
permit these images to be released under a license which permits
modification.
So, this means there are two options remaining:
1. We can package up these backgrounds with a license identical to that
of the fedora-logos package (basically, right to use, copy, and
redistribute, but not modify, with some extra conditions around the
Fedora marks).
2. We could take the images and remove the Fedora trademarks from them
and release them under a Creative Commons license.
Or, we could do both.
Let me know what you think,

------ End Original Message ------
My take:
1. we though mainly about making those available on the web, i think it
would be confusing to add various clauses to the license, which very few
people will read, understand or care about. it would be preferable to go
with a simpler route.
2. we can remove the trademarks only if we have access to the sources,
which i am not sure is the case for all the images. with some, like FC6
NDA it may be impossible to remove everything and still retain a good
looking image (or it may be, since what we have there is not complying
with the guidelines anyway, so what is in there can't be our trademark).
