Re: [xwiki-users] Gift for the XWiki Community
Hi, @Guillaume In fact, the Autoflow picture looks grainy because my scan is low quality. In the book , the illustration looks better. But I will try to give it a vintage effect. It seems there is a Gimp effect to do the job. @Vincent Why not ! Do you think it is a good idea ? @Caty + Ricardo Thank you for your response.

Nice Maxime! We could put this somewhere on xwiki.org for visibility. Any idea where it could fit? Maybe as a blog post?

Re: [xwiki-users] Gift for the XWiki Community
Hi Maxime, looks great :-) Thanks for the effort! I have only one suggestion: the picture on the AUTOFLOW ad looks a bit "grainy", which is part of what makes it look vintage. It might be cool to add the same "grainy" effect to the XWiki ad, WDYT? Merry Christmas to you as well!!

[xwiki-users] Gift for the XWiki Community
Hello XWiki Community, Christmas is coming, and I have a gift for you. I hope you will enjoy it. As you may know, recently, a Brazilia advertising agency produce fake vintage ads for Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Skype. I thought these posters are really amazing. You will find the story here http://www.dailybloggr.com/2010/08/cool-vintage-ads-of-facebook-twitter-youtube-skype/ More recently, I read the book "From Airline Reservations to Sonic the Hedgehog: A History of the Software Industry" by Martin Campbell-Kelly (2003). Each chapter is illustrated by an official old ad of a software. And I was charmed by the poster of AUTOFLOW, showing the face of a woman with beautiful eyes. http://u1.ipernity.com/17/25/71/9552571.c1e1c1ef.jpg This give me an idea : to make a fake XWiki ad, copying the Autoflow one. Of course, XWiki is a so great wiki that it doesn't need advertising to spread the world. Maybe it can help... It's the result of this idea that I'm glad to give you today. I paid attention to produce this work with public domain material so I think I can publish this poster in the public domain (even if I'm far from being a license specialist). So I encourage you to print it on your t-shirt, on your mug, to modify it, to share it, to redistribute it. I've tried to preserve the message of the ad, just replacing some words, or at least to retain the spirit of the original sentences. But I'm sure you can find better arguments and it's easy to edit with Gimp. This page will show you the fake ad for XWiki in a small size but it's easier to compare with the original work : http://www.ipernity.com/doc/sinclair/9552524 The full work is available in a public google doc folder (you don't need to have an account) https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B2p8AuezuBCcZDc2MWY0M2EtNjBiNC00MWRmLWEzZTktNTJmOGVmMTE5MDFj&hl=en - copyrights.txt describes the origins of the photo and fonts used - XWikiForChristmas.xcf is the Gimp file of the poster - XWikiForChristmas.jpg is the full resolution image (exported from Gimp) For your information, Autoflow was a software development tool that produces automatically the flowchart of a computer program. In 1965, Autoflow was the first commercial software to be sold as an independant product (not attached to a hardware device). It was a big success for ADR, its editor, with more than 1 units sold. To conclude, I hope this encourage you, the XWiki community, to develop smart features, to maintain a high level of quality and to support kindly stupid users. Long live XWiki and merry Christmas to you and your family. Maxime Sinclair ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
