CSI artwork

2009-01-20 Thread Mike McGrath
Hey everyone!  I put a request in to the design service just now to get
some banners and logos made.  CSI is a community based standards set.
more info at:

https://fedorahosted.org/csi/

The first policy we're rolling out is a security policy:

 but certainly I don't want to just let things stew until then.  That
 happens to be a perfect time to communicate this vision to a sizable
 portion of the community that will be gathered for that event.


Perhaps they should also register themselves via the bottom of this page:

Create an IRC channel at #fedora-desktop and get involved.  FWIW, I've
never heard of a Fedora Desktop team.

 Well, there is already a #fedora-desktop channel. Unfortunately it is in
 Gimpnet instead of Freenode and tends to be more disconnected from the Fedora
 community as a result but the Fedora desktop team believes that that since
 they are build around GNOME, the advantage of a better connection with the
 upstream community outweighs the disadvantages.


Seriously?  Does the Fedora Desktop team have any actual ties to Fedora or
just name sharing similar to our relationship with OLPC?

 No offense, but...

 First hit in the wiki search for Desktop.

 fedora-desktop-list.

 It's not exactly hard to find, unless you're attempting to be obtuse.
 And if a search is too much, the wiki is fixed now. :P

 (Considering the XFCE, Sugar, netbook, and other groups aren't listed...)


Got'cha, they're a spin group.  I don't think we typically consider spins
subprojects so that makes more sense.

 I forgot to talk to you about this - but the gallery2wiki plugin for media
 wiki looks pretty sweet. It does dynamic galleries based on the tags you add
 to photos. It seems pretty sweet:

 I have used gallery before and it's not bad so I think this might be worth a
 try?


Absolutely, we can give it a go.  The problem we have in this case is
initial setups, if you wanted shell on a box to get it up and going and
see if its your thing we can make sure to get it in the rollout.  If not
we'll make sure its in shortly after that.

The infrastructure team loves the art team, anything we can do to help
we're quite happy to do.

 
  Anyone here interested in helping with the wiki migration?  As you can
  see, we've got a LONG way to go.

 Count me in, what can I do?


If any of you are regular MediaWiki users and are familiar (middle -
expert level) with their markup please stop by #fedora-admin and let us
know, we have some questions for you which will help ease our migration
script.

Do we have a jobs bulletin board that is easily advertisable?  If we
are having a spike in web-design needs which is outstripping our
current contributor pool, perhaps F8 release is a really really good
time to make a push for new contributors in the web-design area.
  


We, we don't really have a UI/web design service.  We have the Art 
Design Service page.  We have the web request page:


http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites/PageRequests

But we seem low on people actually designing.  Some stuff, like 
start.fedoraproject.org I've been very surprised of the low turnout.  
With start.fedoraproject.org we're potentially looking at THE most 
visible page in Fedora, millions of hits :)  I'd think that'd make a 
good resume / portfolio addition.  smolts.org is pretty cool right now too.


On a side note, every time I see a mockup from someone like mizmo it 
reminds me how bad I am at my design :)

Help Wanted - Websites, Infrastructure

2007-09-14 Thread Mike McGrath
Hello Art team.  The websites and infrastructure teams are looking for a 
few good people to help with the presentation of our applications and 
websites.  We have a few people working on a lot of pages and more help 
is needed.  Specifically we are looking for the following skill set:


* Strong HTML / CSS skills
* Ability to create images (or get them made by others)
* Quick prototyping abilities
* Thick skin
* Couple of hours of free time to work / week
* UI, someone that can make our website feel cohesive and intuitive
* A nack for documenting standards and knowledge of various ADA and 
other web standards


Some pretty big changes are coming to the website soon like better 
internationalization support, moving some content from the wiki to the 
'static' page, better designs and a consistent look of all of our apps.  
If you're interested please let me know.  We already have outstanding 
tasks.  I'd prefer someone without much coding experience as the last 
two people that joined are now deep in building some new and critical 
applications, I'm hoping to find some people that are presentation only.

I initially planned to host echo-icons on luya.fedorapeople.org but I
realize allowing uploading from other contributors will be more
difficult. What I am looking for is a host that supports the existing
fedoraproject.org account which leads to hosted.fedoraproject.org on
Infrastructure wiki.

Unfortunately, I could not find any details about requesting a host on
Fedora Infrastructure. Could anyone provide assistance?
  


Technically hosted is still in beta.  Though that should be changing 
very soon.


On a side note, you should be able to chgrp +w art on fedorapeople.org.  
This will allow you to give write access to whatever you want to the art 
group.  All groups in the fedora account system are created and 
populated on fedorapeople.org
