Font suggestion for a title
by Karsten Wade
Hi:
I have a font geek/design question that is a bit outside of the regular Fedora purview. I'm looking for a good titling font to replace Interstate. Here's the whole story.
We have this actively written handbook that captures the principles, implementation methods, and some good stories about applying the open source way beyond just software:
http://TheOpenSourceway.org
An important goal of that project is that the book contents are not only freely licensed (CC BY SA 3.0) but the entirety of every tool and design used is equally free. A few months ago I realized that the site background was made using a non-free font (Interstate). Since I had otherwise made sure the Red Hat Design team who helped us with styling provided sources, I was able to fix the non-free state but at the cost of a nice titling font:
http://iquaid.org/2011/02/19/banner-mistake-for-the-open-source-way-website/
Ian Weller reminded me today that the Liberation Sans I used just didn't carry the visual weight of the Interstate. I also realized that the favicon.ico was still Interstate, so that needs fixing ASAP.
This time though, I'd like to take the time to get the design right. (It's probably worth it to make the change to Lib Sans just get the freedom status correct, but I don't want to let ugly sit for long.)
Any suggestions?
If it helps, here are the sources for the background/logotype and favicon:

Suggestions, patches, etc. welcome.
Thx - Karsten

Fwd: Fwd: Fedora SPEC Review Tool

This seems like a great thing to track the story of, and then put into
TOSW as a case study. :)

This is one of those mails where I want to glow and smile about someone
doing "release early, release often" about a project that would be
IMMENSELY HELPFUL to Fedora. ;)

Hello everyone,
As I'm new to the community and RPM Package Review (and development), I
figured a tool to assist with reviews would be a nice time saver.
With that said I have a simple Python tool (still in early beta stages)
which does just that.
Keeping with the concept of sharing, I wanted to hand this tool out to
the community and get any feedback from y'all:

This tool uses the "Package Review Guidelines" written by Tom 'spot'

Thanks for your time
