Reminder: Ticket #159: FreeMedia Mailer Design
by Onyeibo Oku
In the recent past, Ankur raised a Trac Request on behalf of the
FreeMedia Program for a FreeMedia Mailer Design.
On Fri, 8 Oct 2010, I submitted a Draft Design for that request (Please
see, Design-Team Digest, vol 18, Issue 9, topic #2)
Since then, it has not been critiqued. I understand that the imminent
release of F14 requires a focus on release related artwork,
nevertheless, I'd really like to know if the solution is acceptable.
Should I close the Ticket and what would the resolution be ... fixed? I
solicit your comments please.

Dark Fusion - show your best looking dark theme
by Valent Turkovic
Hi,
I would like to ask you to share your Fedora desktop screenshot that
you have modified with a dark looking theme.
Best one will be selected and featured as official Fusion Linux
(http://fusionlinux.org) dark fusion theme.
This request is not intended for anybody currently working on Fedora
14 artwork as you probably have tight schedule to keep for Fedora 14
release, but for anybody who isn't currently involved in Fedora 14
artwork and currently has time to spare.
We have one but really promissing submission so check it out:
http://fusionlinux.org/2010/10/19/dark-fusion/
Any suggestion are also welcome.
Cheers,
Valent.

Thanks for another great meeting! Here's the minutes:

Mo Summary:
Fedora 14 Release Party Poster
- Emichan showed us her draft and already has posted an updated version
based on feedback given during the meeting:
http://emichan.fedorapeople.org/release_14.png
http://emichan.fedorapeople.org/release_14.svg
- We also talked about reconfiguring the release party poster design to
fulfill ticket https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/164 and
Emichan is going to work on it
Fedora 14 misc
- We have been kicking butt and taking numbers as a team this past
release. We have 3 ninjas doing awesome work, Alexander did great work
on the countdown banners, Alexander and Marc also did great work on the
disc/sleeve artwork, Emichan rocked the release poster, Martin put
together the animated backgrounds files in time for release, and Fab and
pretty much the whole team got our first supplemental wallpapers pack
together and it looks awesome. We also have three new members in the
past month, Bryan, Felipe, and dottedfish.
- We did have an issue with the size of the animated wallpapers causing
some issues so it won't be set as default. One idea we discussed was
maybe trying for a partially-transparent wallpaper for F15, and doing
the time of day via gradient switches underneath. However, the slideshow
XML format doesn't support this. Now might be a good time to put in for
an RFE? One thing tho is GNOME 3 is going to be default for F15, so I'm
not sure if slideshows will be supported then.
RPG
- Mizmo was really bad and failed at putting a formal meeting together,
will try again next week.
- Nicu put together a nice starter requirements document for the RPG
widget:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-October/003411....
- We went through the document and came up with some ideas:
- the RPG username should be pulled from the FAS IRC nick field. It's
user-editable in FAS - the example here was mizmo's FAS name is duffy,
but people know her better as mizmo, and the FAS name is not editable
but IRC nick is.
- Pantless avatars are okay because the base characters will be
pandas!
- We're going to keep this simple to start and stick with 5-6 base
panda variations and build out from there.
- We had some great outfit ideas such as a 3-piece suite monocle
panda, panda in a pretty dress, ninja panda, panda in overalls, panda
with a zony T-shirt, panda with wings accessory
- Some examples for inspiration we looked at included Sims 3,
avatar.yahoo.com, avatar.yahoo.co.jp, the playstation network widgets
(http://fp.profiles.us.playstation.com/playstation/psn/pid/mairin.png)
- Subtle animation might be cool for the characters but nothing over
the top like this
http://k.yimg.jp/images/avt12/anm_newcoordinate1_20101013_1f806580.gif
- we thought 120 x 120px like the hackergotchi would be a good size to
start
- each object should be available for each object, having objects
apply only to certain avatars will complicated the system so we should
avoid it
OTHER STUFF
- Dave reminded us that Libre Graphics Magazine didn't get Fedora
submissions for issue 1 but can take them for issue 2. One idea was for
Mizmo to interview Emichan, another was for Mizmo to write something
about teaching Girl Scouts Gimp & Inkscape!
- We worked with Felipe (WaspStung) and dottedfish and hooked them up
with tasks from the Design Team queue. WaspStung will be working on a
Lekhonee logo and dottedfish will be working on a Fedora podcast logo.

Website redesign fixes
by Jef van Schendel
Hi everyone,
As you probably know, the new Fedora website is being finished right now.
Now we want to check everything and make sure it's all in tip top
shape and ready to be released. I've started a page[1] where we can
document all the little fixes that still need to be done. Think CSS
fixes, missing images, missing links, stuff like that.
If you've got some time, please go over the pages on
http://stg.fedoraproject.org/ and check them for any
mistakes/errors/bugz. If you find any, post 'em on the page. :)
Hop over to #fedora-websites if you've got any questions.

Hello Everyone.
by Felipe Echeverría B
Hello everyone.
I am Felipe from México City i am a graphic designer. I am 35 years old
and i have worked for some dot-com companies in the past. I am an avid
advocate of pinguins and since 1995 i am a Linux user.
I studied my professional licensed degree in graphic design at Mexico
City Universidad Iberoamericana <http:%5C%5Cwww.uia.mx> and my skils
have been spread into several cathegories: Web, packaging, typography,
illustration, animation, and all sorts of graphic magic. I personally
enjoy signaling and communication theory and fundamentals.
I have read the documents on the wiki page and i am starting the
process, so my next step is to read the CLA document and after that i
will take a look at the ticket spool and see where can i help.
I hope i can give back a little bit of what this community has given to me.
Regards!
Felipe.
