by Valent Turkovic 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

I there a way to test new GIMP 2.7/2.8 in Fedora? I looked in Rawhide repos and I still see only 2.6x versions there.

Still need help on the Games Spin Screenshots :)
by Máirín Duffy 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hi folks, So we still have a few screenshots left for the Games Spin. I was wondering if anyone is interested in helping fill the gaps - we are very close to full coverage. Here's what we need, please claim a letter if you're interested in helping out! 1) P (11) - (Pachi El Marciano, Emilia Pinball, Pingu, Pioneers, Pipe Night Dreams, Pipe Panic, Planets, Poker 2D, Power Manga, PyChess, PySolFC) 2) R (4) - (Raid 'em, Ri-Li, Rocks 'N Diamonds, Rogue) 3) S (10) - (Scorched 3D, Scorch Went Bonkers, Seahorse Adventures, Shippy, SolarWolf, Sopwith, Stellarium, Stormbaan Coureur, SuperTux, SuperTux Kart) Some guidelines: * The images should be 300px x 225 px * The image should include a screenshot and put a logo in it too. * If the game doesn't have a logo, make a simple one for it and put it in the image. * You don't need to run the game to obtain the screenshot. Many of the games have screenshots posted on their homepages that you can use. Other missing images that I think Hisham is going to cover: Net Panzer Quarry The upstream on this game is dead so we may drop it from the page: NetHack: Vulture's Eye and Vulture's Claw Thanks to everyone for your help so far! We are very close, let's finish this! ~m

Finished first wallpaper...now what?
by Brad 30 Nov '09

30 Nov '09

Ok guys. I've been working hard and finally finished my first wallpaper for Fedora. Because I am new to this team, I don't know where to post it! It most likely is a simple answer, but I don't want to post it to photobucket and have it stolen or something only to find out there is a place where I'm supposed to put it. ^^

wondering what to do

I am wondering what to do. As of now, I have sharpened up my GIMP skills. Are there any mini-projects around in need of another designer? Thanks! :D

Fedora-tour: A Fedora Feature for new users
by Ryan Rix 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

Hello Design Team, Ankur Sinha (fas username ankursinha, cc'd) and I have recently embarked on a new project that is set, at the moment, to be included as a Fedora 14, or possibly Fedora 13 feature, designed to give new and old users a tour of the Fedora Project, Fedora Linux and their recently installed software. It would add an option to the last form of Firstboot with the option to start this at first login, serving as an equivalent to Windows' "Welcome Center" (I don't have any pictures of this, unfortunately, for reference) and basically just introduce Fedora users to their new desktop, and the project as a whole, including ways to contribute, if they are interested. Naturally, such a project will take the involvement of many teams, including the Design team. What Ankur and I were considering was to implement a visual introduction to the application, with a tree (like, an actual tree with branches, etc) where each leaf is a separate "part" of Fedora (General Overview, FAQ, Getting Help, GNOME overview, KDE overview, LXDE overview, Development Tools, Joining Fedora etc) all installable as separate packages, pulled in, most likely, by installing packages from that Group in anaconda. Such a project, of course, treads a fine line between the application programming and designing, and having such an application, which could possibly be presented as the first thing new Fedora users see, look and fit with Fedora is very important. Ankur's (imo) awesome idea for the interactive tree, where each leaf is an icon for that SIG/Piece of Fedora leading introduces a few design questions which must be addressed. How does the Design team feel about such a User interface? Does it fit with the feel of Fedora/ We will probably have UI mockups by the end up this week. How well would such an application work from an accessibility point of view Thanks for your time, Ryan Rix (fas username rrix) -- Ryan Rix Fedora KDE SIG Member, Phoenix AZ Ambassador, News KDE Beat writer http://hackersramblings.wordpress.com | http://identi.ca/phrkonaleash XMPP: phrkonaleash(a)gmail.com | MSN: phrkonaleash(a)yahoo.com AIM: phrkonaleash | Yahoo: phrkonaleash IRC: PhrkOnLsh(a)irc.freenode.net/#srcedit,#plugaz,#fedora-kde and countless other FOSS channels.

joining the team
by Brad 27 Nov '09

27 Nov '09

Hello. I have recently started using Fedora 12, and I thought to myself, "WOW!". This distro really impressed me. I have used linux for a long time, and this is one of the best distros i've seen in a long time. I really have thought about helping a distro, and i realized that programming applications isn't my thing (web design is though ^^). I started messing around with GIMP and I got really good at it. What I really enjoyed doing was making wallpapers. I am willing to do other things though, and I'm ok with constructive criticism. If you think I could be of help, just tell me. Thanks in advance, Brad

Fedora Remix Logo Guidelines
by Sebastian Dziallas 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hi (*puts Sugar Labs hat on*), I'm currently preparing the next release of the F12-based Sugar on a Stick, which is guideline-wise a remix. I've been drafting up some docs and was thinking of using the Fedora Remix logo. I know that one usually doesn't need to ask for permission to do so, but in this case, I was wondering whether it would be possible to use a different color than the ones listed here [1]. What we'd need is an entirely gray logo - at least that would fit best. Is this already covered by the "1-color treatment suggestions" or what's the way to follow for this? --Sebastian [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Secondary_trademark_usage_guidelines
