art team status
Hi folks, I've had some things on my mind and I wanted to share them with you I guess as a sort of status report: 1) F9 default theme The final deadline was last Thursday and it seems Waves is closer to the requirements than Shoowa, so it seems fair to give Waves the nod. Is this okay? We definitely have some gaps to fill; I think the two major ones right now is the anaconda banner and the GNOME and KDE splashes. Ian has been doing some great work with the various time-of-day wallpapers; a little more tweaking and they'll be ready for the release candidate. When the release candidate comes out, we should make an effort to get feedback about it to make any final needed tweaks for the final release. 2) Granting art group access in the account system It seems we all agree that the proposed requirements for gaining art group access in the account system are fair, so what I'd like to do is rewrite the joining the fedora art team section of our main wiki page, and then start going through the current art group members list, contacting folks, and deleting the accounts of those who don't respond within let's say two weeks and those who indicate they are no longer interested in contributing to the team. If you'd like to help with this let me know! 3) Painless Releases Meeting Various team leads are meeting today to discuss improving our release plans / communication to make each Fedora release as painless as possible, and I'm representing the art team at this meeting. If you have particular concerns I can make sure to bring them up; I guess I should have brought the meeting up earlier (sorry :(). Let me know anyway and I will make sure they are heard. One thing I am going to suggest is that we decide on a codename for the next release a little bit earlier; the 'sulphur' codename was decided after we had already reached round 2 of our theme process. 4) F9 Beta Banner We'll need this by tomorrow. I'm thinking of maybe just grabbing the alpha banner, replacing alpha with beta, and coloring the background more blue. If anyone else wants to take this item and be a bit more creative with it, please feel free though! 5) Linux action podcast interview The Linux action podcast folks approached me yesterday and asked if I would be willing to interview with them about the F9 artwork. (these are the guys that reviewed f8's artwork by saying it was 'ugly ugly ugly') I agreed so the interview is going to take place today.

Ian has been doing some great work with the various time-of-day wallpapers; a little more tweaking and they'll be ready for the release candidate. Which splashes are not that big: at least the GNOME splash is well hidden and not used by default. We can do also a (un)lock screen, but neither that is that important (not enabled by default) When the release candidate comes out, we should make an effort to get feedback about it to make any final needed tweaks for the final release. 2) Granting art group access in the account system With my newly acquired sponsor hat on: what we do with pending approval requests? I see 5 such requests in the queue (and none of those names are familiar to me), we'll send an email to them asking for introduction on the mailing list? Ask also for a small task as discussed last week? 3) Painless Releases Meeting Various team leads are meeting today to discuss improving our release plans / communication to make each Fedora release as painless as possible, and I'm representing the art team at this meeting.

One thing I am going to suggest is that we decide on a codename for the next release a little bit earlier; the 'sulphur' codename was decided after we had already reached round 2 of our theme process. Indeed, this time the release was chosen earlier but not early enough for our process. Maybe can we also adjust our rounds a bit? Anyway, it would help to know at least when the new codename will be announced and plan our schedule accordingly. 4) F9 Beta Banner We'll need this by tomorrow. I'm thinking of maybe just grabbing the alpha banner, replacing alpha with beta, and coloring the background more blue.

I'll let you know how it goes (although I will admit I really do not have a good feeling about it.) Do not take this the wrong way: you have a tendency to be a little to aggressive when faced with trolls, try to not feed them. I am eagerly awaiting to hear the podcast... Let me know if you have anything to add. 6) Media CD/DVD labes. I have an idea about this, will try to get something, but everybody is invited to play. 7) Release counter The counter for the F8 release was a good idea, we need to to that again. Maybe talk on the release meeting about the need to firmly know the exact release date a few weeks in advance for this counter to be effective. This time we have more time, maybe we can code the counter in advance and have something dynamic and easily included in other websites. I am sure there are more things to add... -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com Cool Fedora wallpapers: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/wallpapers/ Open Clip Art Library: http://www.openclipart.org my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

We can do also a (un)lock screen, but neither that is that important (not enabled by default) Good point :) We can just do basic designs similar to how we took the other artwork in F8 and made it into these designs. (E.g., we took f8's rhgb to create the gnome and KDE splashes and the wallpaper to create the lock dialog) 2) Granting art group access in the account system With my newly acquired sponsor hat on: what we do with pending approval requests? I see 5 such requests in the queue (and none of those names are familiar to me), we'll send an email to them asking for introduction on the mailing list? Ask also for a small task as discussed last week? Yeh, this sounds like a good idea. We should draft a standard email to send to art group requesters asking for an introduction and completion of a small task with pointers to the design queue or mailing list for task assignment. 3) Painless Releases Meeting Indeed, this time the release was chosen earlier but not early enough for our process. Maybe can we also adjust our rounds a bit? Anyway, it would help to know at least when the new codename will be announced and plan our schedule accordingly. Definitely, we could shift our schedule according to it as well. 5) Linux action podcast interview Do not take this the wrong way: you have a tendency to be a little to aggressive when faced with trolls, try to not feed them. I am eagerly awaiting to hear the podcast... lol, I definitely can't argue against that, I'll try to be tame ;) Let me know if you have anything to add. 6) Media CD/DVD labes. I have an idea about this, will try to get something, but everybody is invited to play. Awesome! Look forward to seeing this :) The wolf you did for the F8 labels was great. 7) Release counter The counter for the F8 release was a good idea, we need to to that again.

I was myself surprised Shoowa theme reached that far third round even though I was not able to complete it before the deadline. Spring break just started too late. I work on Wave theme by bringing some elements from the Shoowa. -- Luya Tshimbalanga Fedora Project contributor http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/LuyaTshimbalanga ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
