Mockup: Joining process
by Vinzenz Vietzke 05 Oct '11

05 Oct '11

Hi, Christoph Wickert asked me to create a more "graphical" way for the Ambassadors' joining process. [1] At the moment this is some kinda click through way through seven pages fully loaded with text and information. Which isn't very welcoming and friendly, especially for new people. (I know what I'm talkin about as I went through it not long ago!) Now I made two mockups: * a starting page: http://vinz.fedorapeople.org/join-process/joining-intro.png * some template for the following steps: http://vinz.fedorapeople.org/join-process/joining-step.png Maybe it's a possible way to create wiki templates for usage at every team which has a joining process. Comments? vinz. -- Vinzenz Vietzke Fedora Ambassador / Coordination German L10N Team m: vinz(a)fedoraproject.org wk: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Vinz mb: https://identi.ca/vinzv

Hello! I'm new here :)

Hi! Friends call me Katie, strangers call me Niftyness, and awesome people refer to me as "Katie Niftyness" ;) About myself: Studied Communication Design at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania [BFA]. Went on to teach Multimedia Design for a couple years, then worked as an Interactive Designer [Pharmaceutical Sales Training] for about 3 or 4 years. After that, I took a year off to travel, explore, and create! Having worked as a teacher and as an insider in the training business, I am highly skilled at formatting instructional materials. Things I can do: Animation, info graphics, interface design concepts, branding materials, style guides, video production, electronic communications.. and more! My training is geared towards Graphic Design AND Interactive Design -- This means that I can do print work AND digital work. Currently, I have an OLPC XO with Fedora/Sugar (default system specs) and a dual-boot windows machine (Win 7 + Ubuntu 11). My primary goal with regards to this community is to create wonderful artwork using Open Source software. Whilst I am highly adept at using Adobe products, they are simply not an economically viable solution for an independent digital artist such as myself. In addition to creating assets for the fedora project, I am also interested in promoting fedora to a wider audience -- A deviantArt group would be an excellent way to promote our work to a community of highly talented artists who otherwise might not have known of fedora's existence (I've read the wiki). I've been a fan/user of deviantArt for almost a decade now, and it has proven itself to be an absolutely fantastic community to work with. Happy to be here, - Katie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_design "Communication design is a mixed discipline between design and information-development which is concerned with how media intermission such as printed, crafted, electronic media or presentations communicate with people. A communication design approach is not only concerned with developing the message aside from the aesthetics in media, but also with creating new media channels to ensure the message reaches the target audience."

Question about logo guidelines for "localised" logo
by Niels Kjøller Hansen 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

Hello I have been fiddling about with forming a website and some social network presence for making the local fedora communtiy work more visible. For this, I wanted to use the Fedora logo in a local context. However, the approved colours of the fedora logo does not match the national colours of Denmark, which left me in a bind. I have made to tries, one based on the remix logo and one with the infinity symbol part replaced with a small flag. Personally I like the flag one better, but I guess that the other one is closer to following the guidelines. Both attempts can be seen her: http://cyclops.kjoller.eu/fedora-dk-logos.png I have not checked all alignment or sizing issues, but suggestions are still welcome. And I should note, that it is just an idea, made with approximated shapes, not the official svg's. Regards, Niels

Fedora 16 Grub 2 theme
by Elad Alfassa 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Hi everyone. Is anyone working on a grub 2 theme for fedora 16? If we start now we might finish it in time, so we should better hurry, unless we want an ugly black screen boot menu. Grub 2 has powerful theme-ing options, and the background doesn't have to be low color as in grub legacy. More documentation here: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Theme-file-format I think we should implement something similar to Mo's idea (that was originally for syslinux), https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/UX_Redesign/Syslinux Unfortunately, I don't know where to start and I don't have an F16 testing machine available, so I can't do it myself. -- -Elad Alfassa.

FYI [Fwd: Question about Anaconda graphics for F16]
by Máirín Duffy 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

FYI; If you're not on the Anaconda list, you can follow the thread here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2011-August/msg00372.ht… -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Máirín Duffy <duffy(a)fedoraproject.org> Reply-to: Discussion of Development and Customization of the Red Hat Linux Installer <anaconda-devel-list(a)redhat.com> To: anaconda-devel-list(a)redhat.com Subject: Question about Anaconda graphics for F16 Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2011 13:52:19 -0400 Hi, So for the past couple of releases or so the Anaconda GUI (and Firstboot as well, I'm pretty sure) display at full screen size rather than stay limited to 800x600 px as they used to be. The gradient banner at the top of Anaconda looks odd because of this; it's not long enough to cover the full width of the window. Firstboot at least stretches out the left banner it has although this looks a bit pixelated (at least when I'm running it in debug mode now it does. :) ) I am wondering what options are possible then to get Anaconda's banner looking nice for F16. I poked around the anaconda.glade file; I think we have a couple of options but I'm not sure how to do one of them: OPTION #1: no gradient, left-align Fedora logo This would basically look the same as it did pre-full screen mode, but without the gradient. The glade file would have to be changed; the 'X Align' value on the image in the glade file should be changed from 0.5 to 0, and the 'X Pad' value should be set to something like '10'. OPTION #2: keep the gradient, but stretch it full screen. I don't know how to do this, but I know it's possible... create a container 105 px tall, and set the gradient as its background image with 'repeat' set. Then, place the Fedora logo in that container, aligned as explained above. I found some references to setting a widget/container background image in GTK+ here: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-list/2007-April/msg00045.html http://www.scribd.com/doc/45906237/Pygtk2-Tut What do you think? ~m _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list

FUDcon Blacksburg logo suggestions
by Máirín Duffy 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

Hi gnokii, Here's some ideas you might want to consider for modifying the FUDcon Blacksburg logo: - The top row is just providing a little bit of separation between the FUDcon logomark and the feathers so the feathers can fit closer to the logo. I just did this with a simple linked offset as a quick measure but it could be done using path operations for a final version. - The bottom 3 rows are attempts at more abstract variations. I think that the original is a very accurate rendering of a feather, but Fedora logo graphics tend to be rounded and geometrical so I thought maybe smoothing the feathers you did might be something worth trying. http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/art/fudcon/blacksburg% 202011/blacksburg.png The SVG is in the same dir. ~m
