Fedora Design team presentation to council?
by Matthew Miller
Hi all! The Fedora Council has been doing roughly-monthly checkins with
different Fedora teams and subprojects, and we'd be interested in
hearing from Design. We've been doing these on Google+ [*], with a
presenter with slides and stuff. It doesn't need to be long or very
formal, but something more organized than an unstructured chat. It'd
cover:
- the current state of the subproject
- future plans
- things the team needs from the rest of the project
- any blockers we can help unblock
- big resource requests?
Is anyone from Design interested in doing this? We use the Monday 17:00 UTC
timeslot. October 12 is a US holiday (Indigenous Peoples' Day, at my
house at least), but October 19 or 26th would be open.
* see council list for discussion on open source alternatives;
hopefully in the not too distant future.

Request to review the mockups for AskFedora Redesign
by Kalpani Anuradha
Hi all,
I'm working on the project AskFedora UX/UI and functionality overhaul under
GSoC this summer. I have created some mockups for the pages in AskFedota
which can be viewed at my blog -
http://anuradhanotes.blogspot.com/search/label/GSoC
Also I have set up a repository in fedoradesign github where I have pushed
my current work on the mockups -
https://github.com/fedoradesign/Askbot-mockups
I would like to have some feedback on these mockups and would like to know
the improvements that I need to do further and whether there are any
additional things that I need to include in the designs. The views of all
of you would be very important to this project.
Thank you

Summary of today's meeting
by Máirín Duffy
Hi!
We had a meeting today. In attendance were myself, ryanlerch, gnokii,
mleonova, riecatnor, sam08, mbriza, garrett, and tatica.

https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2015-10-22/fedora-design....
Log -
https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2015-10-22/fedora-design....
Here's a quick run-through of what we discussed:
Presentation to Council
=======================
Our presentation to the council is going to be at 5 PM UTC / 12 pm EST
(post DST) in #fedora-meeting on Monday, November 2. It will be an IRC
meeting and anyone is welcome to come.
The topics I'll present to the council are covered pretty well in this
summary from last meeting:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2015-October/007369...
The main change in the message I think is that swag distribution /
production varies by geo.
For the FAD we would like to bring up to them, it is looking like July
2016 in Boston would be a good time/location. It is close to Flock the
next month in EMEA, but EMEA in particular is expensive for our current
team makeup.
New Meeting Time
================
Our new meeting time is going to shift next meeting due to daylight
savings time. Today the meeting was 1200 UTC / 8 AM EDT... next meeting
(Thursday, November 5) will be at 1300 UTC / 8 AM EST. If you have a
daylight savings shift, the time won't change for you; if you don't, the
meeting will be one hour later. Here's a breakdown of the new time for
future meetings:
- 1300 UTC
- 5 AM PST (US + Canada/Pacific)
- 8 AM EST
- 8:30 AM (Caracas)
- 3 PM (Europe / Berlin + Rome)
- 4 PM (Moscow)
- 6:30 PM (Kolkata)
- 8 PM (Phnom Penh)
- 9 PM (Kuala Lumpur)
- 11 PM (Queensland AU)
New Meeting Chairs
==================
I'm not going to be around from about mid November-December until
February or March, so ryanlerch and gnokii volunteered to chair the
meetings when I'm out.
Completed Tickets
=================
Ticket 373: Production of swag for F22
--------------------------------------
mleonova completed this one with sticker designs for the 3 Fedora editions.
Ticket 360: Fedora LiveUSB Icons
--------------------------------
mleonova completed this one with icon designs for all of the various
Fedora images. There is some great new logo artwork in this ticket worth
checking out!
Ticket 398: AsciiBinder Logo
----------------------------
mleonova completed this one. It's an excellent logo design worth taking
a look at. :)
Ticket 393: Cover for Getting Started with Fedora Guide
--------------------------------------------------------
mleonova completed this one. She added a photo of the finished printed
book to the ticket so you can see how it came out.
Open Tickets
============
Ticket 401: Review: Updated cheat cube to use DNF instead of yum
----------------------------------------------------------------
This one is waiting on an update from Ankur; pinged him in the ticket.
Ticket 347:
Fedora Cloud, Server, and Worksation Stack Exchange community promotion
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This one is waiting for feedback from mattdm; pinged him in the ticket.
Ticket 199: Interface and Usability refresh for ask.fedoraproject.org
---------------------------------------------------------------------
anuradhaw gave us an update and pointed to her code; puiterwijk pushed
her code to stage and you can see it here:
https://ask.stg.fedoraproject.org
There are some minor issues that need to be addressed I think before we
can push to prod. anuradhaw indicated she's studying for exams but after
her exams will have more time to come back to this project. We will wait
for anuradha to finish her exams to try to address the issues.
Ticket 402: Need to scale down hackergotchi in planet rss feed css
------------------------------------------------------------------
This ticket needed an owner so ryanlerch grabbed it. Thanks, Ryan!
Ticket 210: Update fedoracommunity maps with Russia in EMEA
------------------------------------------------------------
We thought we were finished with this one but it turns out there are
some issues. ryanlerch kindly picked it back up to fix.
Ticket 279: Design for "This week in Fedora"
--------------------------------------------
This ticket needed an updating. We discussed this design at the Flock
design clinic; ryanlerch created a repo on pagure.io and added a mockup
at the event that he committed then; he also has newer work he did
post-Flock that he will upload later. I also have a mock from flock I
never uploaded so I'll upload that too.
Ticket 367: Need logo design for the Fedora Security Team(FST)
--------------------------------------------------------------
This ticket is so close to being done, the logo just needs a few tiny
tweaks. Pinged Yogi on it.
Ticket 350: Anaconda banner template
------------------------------------
Yogi completed the template work; we just need it to be posted to the
wiki. Yogi is going to work on this. (He contacted me after the meeting)
In-Progress / Feedback Tickets
==============================
Ticket 403: Icons for FAS 3
----------------------------
riecatnor asked for feedback on her work for this one:
- she designed three updated options for the group icon based on
feedback from before, and the 3rd one was the favorite.
- there's an icon used in the dark blue bar in the upper left of this
screen; the group icon should hopefully work there as well:
http://fas3-dev.fedorainfracloud.org/group/details/3001
- in context, the users icon stands out a bit in the full screen mockup
because the fedora logo isn't square. we suggested riecatnor modify the
mockup to add a square border along the outside of the icon to see if
that fixes the issue
(https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/attachment/ticket/403/users_mockup.png)
Ticket 407: Logo for mojefedora.cz
----------------------------------
mleonova asked for feedback on this logo design. the favorites were the
upper left and lower left versions; the designs were well-liked :)
Ticket 404: F23 Release Posters
-------------------------------
sam08 created these awesome designs. We don't know if the reporter used
them, but they are all quite nice. I asked sam08 to post the SVGs and
we'll close the ticket and advertise them more widely to the Fedora
community to use.

New Meeting Time
by Máirín Duffy
Hi folks,
I think we've have the whenisgood opened up long enough to get a good
representative sample (we've had 13 responses.)
It looks like the best time that gets us the best representation and
leaves out the least number of people is:
12 PM UTC on Thursdays
Which is:
- 4 hours earlier than our current time, on Thurs instead of Tues
- 5 AM (US + Canada/Pacific)
- 7:30 AM (Caracas)
- 7 AM EST (East Coast US after falling back on Nov 1)
- 8 AM EDT (East Coast US until Nov 1)
- 2 PM (Europe / Berlin + Rome)
- 3 PM (Moscow)
- 5:30 PM (Kolkata)
- 7 PM (Phnom Penh)
- 8 PM (Kuala Lumpur)
- 10 PM (Queensland AU)
I guess this is a bad time of year to change the meeting time given
daylight savings changes. Does daylight savings impact anyone else?
That being said, let's try the new time next week. So our next meeting
will be:
Thursday, Oct 22 at 12 PM UTC
Sound good?

GlitterGallery: Feedback on image annocation
by Aditya Prakash
Hi,
I am not sure if you guys have ever heard of GlitterGallery
<https://github.com/glittergallery/GlitterGallery>. It is a git hosting
website (yeah! yet another one). Instead of code view, we show image view
of your git repo. I was putting together last feature before maintainers of
the project went completely unresponsive (I am a contributor). I need your
help in deciding something, cause in the end you guys will be using it.
I am using annotorious <https://github.com/annotorious/annotorious> to
implement image annotation. You can have an idea of how it would work, here
<http://annotorious.github.io/demos/hello-world.html>. For annotations to
persist on page reload, I need to store complete img tag in database. This
means that img tag has to be as small as possible. Closest solution was
that I change blob of image (blob is kinda like string equivalent of your
image. This is what get stored in your git repo) to an image file. However,
support to change blob to file seems to broken for svg in rmagic (check #226
<https://github.com/rmagick/rmagick/issues/226>). I can get around this if
I change svg files to png.
I wanted to ask, if I serve your svg files as png, can you guys roll with
it? I won't be tampering with your repo, I will be just serving your svg
files as png on our website.
If anyone would like to discuss implementation details, they are welcome
here: #309 <https://github.com/glittergallery/GlitterGallery/issues/309>
Thank you,
Aditya
