Hello team,
Design team have recently chosen Cantarell for body text.
I have packaged Cantarell fonts for Fedora and am looking for review [1].
I noticed Dave Crossland is part of SIG Fonts so, if interested, he can
be co-maintainer
of abattis-cantarell-fonts once it passed the review.

Wow! Thank you everyone! :-)
I have packaged Cantarell fonts for Fedora and am looking for review
[1].
I noticed Dave Crossland is part of SIG Fonts so, if interested, he can
be co-maintainer of abattis-cantarell-fonts once it passed the review.
I have been saying for probably years now that I want to start
packaging fonts for Fedora, and this seems like a great opportunity to
actually get stuck in.
Read up the docs about it this weekend :-)
Cheers
Dave

FWIW seems like the font exception as indicated on the upstream website
is missing from the License field in the package spec.
There is also a release with the same version number on the Google font
repository but under a different license.
Which one is the latest and the real upstream?

They are the same files, so the fonts are effectively dual licensed
now under GPLv3+FE and SIL OFL 1.1.
I will clear some of this up at the weekend.
Great! Thanks for taking care of that.
Will be good to see more Cantarell across Fedora materials :-)
Kudos to you as the upstream and to Luya for tackling the packaging.

While you're doing that, it would help if you could provide a makefile for
building from the FontForge sources.
As I've noted in the pre-review, we *should* build from the SFDs whenever
they are provided. It isn't tricky to write the few lines in the spec to
call FontForge, but you're the person who will know if there are any
little wrinkles!
Cheers,

Then I will wait for that clarification before updating the spec file.

I took the ticket for my first ever ticket review (in many many
years). I will work with Mr Williams to get this done as quickly as
possible (when you are ready).

No problem. Give me a heads up and I will start with the next steps.

I didn't actually book my transit until today, so I didn't really
commit, but I've just done so.
I'll be taking the train from London to Zurich:
Thursday 16th September 2010
09:32 - London St Pancras, Eurostar train, arrives 12:47 - Paris Nord
14:24 - Paris East, Lyria train, arrives 19:14 at Zurich Hb
However, I don't have any accommodation sorted. Can anyone suggest
anything? :-) I am into couchsurfing and have many references -
http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/davelab6/ - and I am happy to share
a room if there are any spare beds in any hotels/dorms etc.
I'm now consulting for Google on their libre web fonts project,
http://code.google.com/webfonts/, so I'm really looking forward to
talking to the Fedora design team about the wonderful fonts efforts
and community best practices :-)
Cheers
Dave

Just a quick note to ping about upstream hosting for Cantarell now that
the font has also been pushed to its own repo on git.gnome.org:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/cantarell-fonts/
The font files themselves seem to be the same version than in the Google
font directory repo and in the upstream http://abattis.org/cantarell.
But there are discrepancies between chosen licensing and the
corresponding notices or metadata across the various font sources. Some
synchronisation would be very helpful for end-users, fellow designers
and maintainers.
IMHO this should be sorted quickly for such a prominent font project.
Following some of the general open font best practises is probably
useful for long-term maintainership as well (FONTLOG.txt, sources/,
line-endings, buildpath, etc).
