Tutorial ideas for the new fp.o site

by Ian MacGregor

I'm happy, no excited to be a part of the new fp.o website and have come up with some ideas for tutorials: * Agave tutorial - creating color schemes with agave * Crontab tutorial - creating a cronjob * Desktop launcher tutorial - creating a desktop launcher * GIMP tutorial - creating custom desktop wallpapers * Gnote tutorial - using the gnote app I can write most of these as I use all of these apps, and I have taught a class on crontab recently. I'm submitting these for feedback. What does everyone think?

Hey Rahul, The Americas coloring is just to show the hover state appearance.... the buttons are meant to be anchor links.... think it works or too confusing? ~m Sent from my HTC on the Now Network from Sprint! ----- Reply message ----- From: "Rahul Sundaram" <metherid(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Jul 15, 2010 5:33 pm Subject: [Design-team] Wiki page for country To: "Fedora Design Team" <design-team(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> > 2010/7/15 Máirín Duffy <duffy(a)fedoraproject.org>: > >> Something like this? >> >> http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/webdesign/fedoracommunity.org/fedoracommuni... >> This design is pretty good. One minor nit. It seems on first glance as if it is a tabbed interface and Americas has been clicked on.

Design Suite Change of Goals Proposal

by Martin Sourada

Hi, the current goals of design suite quite worked for the start, i.e. define what kind of apps/content in general we want in. Now, I think it's time to move on and define some long term goals in terms of *use cases* and *work-flows*. Some ideas that come to mind: * Joe has been on a holidays trip with family and recorded a lot of content with his DV video camera. He want's to import the shots into the computer, do some cutting, add background music, ... and make a video he can show his friends. * Minori was on a school trip to Kyōto and shot a lot of photos with her camera. She wants to edit them a little (fix perspective, red eyes, colours, ...), organize and archive them, and publish some of them on web in a blog post (and/or face book?). * Ed is giving a presentation on a conference and he wants to prepare some slides to show. * Alice wants to design a font for her comic strips. * Květa wants to draw a comic strip. * Pablo is going to design an icon for his favourite application. * Yujin wants to help with Fedora artwork so she downloaded some wallpaper WIP and decided to improve it. More ideas welcome. IMHO we should choose a few concrete use-cases (like those listed above), for each propose at least one "ideal" work-flow and then find and include the needed apps in the design spin. And for each work-flow make some sort of tutorial -- e.g. step-by-step "comic", screen-cast, ... -- which we would include in the design suite. Any suggestions, critics, ...? How does this sound. Cheers, Martin

Self-intro

by Ian MacGregor

Greetings, My name is Ian MacGregor, I use the nickname "ardchoille" online, and I am a member of Clan Gregor. My nickname (ardchoille) was taken from the phrase "Ard Choille!", which is Scottish Gaelic for "To the high trees!" - the war cry of my clan. My Fedora wiki page can be found at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ardchoille42 I served in the US Navy, as a field medic (NEC HM-8404), where I visited several countries and participated in UNITAS. Fraternities I joined during my time in the US Navy include Order of the Golden Dragon (crossed the international date line), Order of the Ditch (passed through the panama canal), Order of the Shellback (crossed the equator). I also served in the Texas Army National Guard. I have been using computers since 1983 and building computers since 2001. I have been using Linux since it became my primary operating system in 2001. I started my Linux journey with Debian GNU/Linux. From there I went on to use Fedora Core (fc1, fc2, fc3, fc4), Mandrake Linux (now Mandriva), MEPIS, Ubuntu, CentOS and am currently using Fedora 13. Fedora seems to be the best distro for me due to its sane defaults and its outstanding community.

13 Jul 2010 Design team meeting summary

by Máirín Duffy

Thanks everyone for another productive week in Fedora design! Highlights: 1 - Fedora 14 Wallpaper Concept =============================== NEED FEEDBACK Well, kick ass, we have an awesome wallpaper concept we agreed on last week! But we've nary heard a peep in feedback on it! Whoops. We didn't blog it to solicit feedback, nor did we reach out in other venues. Eek. To remedy this: - KyleBaker put together a wiki page to collect feedback: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F14_Artwork_Feedback - Mizmo will write a blog post advertising the new theme selection and asking for feedback - Schendje will post to fedoraforum.org and to users(a)lists.fedoraproject.org to get feedback - RyanLerch will post to identi.ca and twitter to get feedback TIME IS RUNNING OUT! The Fedora 14 wallpaper's got to be ready-to-go for F14 alpha by July 27. Only a couple of weeks. PLEEEEAAASSSE download the sources (http://fedorapeople.org/~kybaker/F14_wallpaper/) and have a play with it - let's iterate and make it more awesome for alpha! SUPPLEMENTAL WALLPAPER Fabsh is managing the F14 supplemental wallpaper collection. They are due August 19th. The wiki page to collect submissions is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F14_Artwork_Supplemental_Wallpapers_Submis... Fabsh will advertise the supplemental wallpaper collection via blog, twitter/identi.ca, and mailing list starting tomorrow. 2 - New Fedora fonts ==================== We're still testing out Comfortaa and waiting for Johan to change the license. In the meantime, let's identify any missing glyphs in our respective languages to point them out. We talked about Cantarell vs Droid Sans for the body text font. A number of us agreed we like Cantarell better because it's more unique and because Dave used FLOSS to create it. - tomorrow nicubunu will send an email with the codes and info for missing glyphs (ș and ț) - nicubunu identified a bug with unsetting bold using Cantarell in Inkscape. Luya pointed out a workaround - ctrl+shift+T. - nicubunu to contact Dave Crossland re missing ș and ț in Cantarell 3 - fedoraproject.org website redesign ====================================== Mizmo talked a little bit about the fedoraproject.org redesign. The schedule for the work is here: http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-14/f-14-web-tasks.html She also posted a couple of mockups for the project: http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/webdesign/fedoraproject.org/fedoraproject.o... http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/webdesign/fedoracommunity.org/fedoracommuni... Schendje expressed interest in helping. Mizmo pointed out two potential paths to helping out: * Content review of existing www.fpo content (just static web pages, no wiki or anything like that) * Brainstorming / soliciting folks to write articles for www.fpo static content. As a result of this discussion: - Schendje will take up the content review task of www.fpo. This will involve going through the static content of www.fedoraproject.org, reviewing it for general correctness / grammatical issues / etc., identifying if there is any useful information missing from the existing content, and soliciting ideas from the community (potentially via blog and mailing list posts) on what other content might be useful) - Ryan Lerch will message the Fedora docs list to see if we have any tutorial content or any folks willing to write tutorial content for the www.fpo static articles - mizmo will add netbooks to the www.fpo test plan - mizmo will do a mockup for a mobile version of www.fpo - mizmo will do a call for proposals for the new www.fpo content 4 - New Join Fedora Design team page ==================================== Michael put together a draft suggestion for improving the design team join page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_Design_Team - mizmo will start a thread on the design team list to get Michael more detailed feedback on the draft. 5 - Tickets =========== - Pierros is still working on tickets 138 & 139 - Schendje finished ticket 144 (yay!) - No new tickets this week (ran over time for the meeting) 6 - Marketing interviews ======================== - Nothing new to report yet. Still open business from last week: =================================== - Mel will ask Matt Jadud, a design professor, on what types of activities he'd like his students to work on when they help out the Fedora design team starting in the fall. Based on that, we'll suggest things they can get involved with. ====== Full logs/etc: Minutes: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2010-07-13/fedora-design.2... Minutes (text): http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2010-07-13/fedora-design.2... Log: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2010-07-13/fedora-design.2... ~m
