=== Theming Fedora 12 Alpha ===
=== Fedora 12 Wallpapers ===


As the deadline for the Alpha release was closing, as [[User:nicubunu|Nicu Buculei]] blogged<ref>http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/2009/07/submission-deadline-for-fedora-12.html</ref> and  [[User:mso|Martin Sourada]] reminded<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-July/000561.html</ref> on @design-team "today, as per the schedule [1], is the wallpaper designs submission deadline. We are not going to consider completely new designs for F12 wallpaper after this deadline so if you still have something to share, please share it with us today, even if the work is still incomplete", everyone was busy uploading last-minute proposals, including [[User:jaymeayres|Jayme Ayres]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-July/000524.html</ref>, [[User:sstorari|Samuele Storari]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-July/000537.html</ref><ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-July/000551.html</ref> and [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]]<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-July/000564.html</ref>
[[User:mso|Martin Sourada]] prepared<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000649.html</ref> and initial set of packages with wallpapers for the alpha release "I've just put together  initial packages containing the Constantine wallpapers I consider (based on the feedback we received) to be 'worth'
putting in for Alpha. There is constantine-backgrounds package which contains tatica's mocaico and Mo's and Nicu's underwater mosaic, both as slide-show (switching between those two once twice per hour) and separately. Next there is constantine-backgrounds-extras package which contains Samuele's 4flowers and 4horses, Jayme's Constantine
Statue, Charlie's bird mosaic and tatica's pruebas and freedom" as a base for selecting the best default and after a round of the preliminary feedback, one was moved<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000667.html</ref> from extras-proposals to default-proposals "there seems to be non-ignorable amount of people who want it in default so I moved it to default for now."


After the date passed, Nicu summarized the submissions on his blog<ref>http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/2009/07/artwork-for-fedora-12-alpha.html</ref> and asked for feedback, which feedback started to flow, both on the blog and mailing list<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-July/000599.html</ref>, with people pointing the proposals they like and the things they think can be improved. Feedback from the Fedora Weekly News readers is also highly appreciated.
With the process of evolving the wallpapers being continuous, [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] considered the feedback from [[User:pfrields|Paul Frields]] and proposed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000681.html</ref> an improved version for one of the concepts "As per Paul's suggestion to try to modify the perspective of María's mosaico designs to make it vibrate a little less with icons on the desktop, I did some experimentation today in Inkscape with perspective."
 
Martin called for a decisional meeting<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-August/000691.html</ref> for wallpapers "I suggest that people raise their reasons for and against choosing one or another in this thread and we hold a (hopefully) short IRC session next Monday (2009-08-10) to make the final decision. Would 16:00 UTC be a good time for everyone?"

Fedora 12 Wallpapers

Martin Sourada prepared[1] and initial set of packages with wallpapers for the alpha release "I've just put together initial packages containing the Constantine wallpapers I consider (based on the feedback we received) to be 'worth' putting in for Alpha. There is constantine-backgrounds package which contains tatica's mocaico and Mo's and Nicu's underwater mosaic, both as slide-show (switching between those two once twice per hour) and separately. Next there is constantine-backgrounds-extras package which contains Samuele's 4flowers and 4horses, Jayme's Constantine Statue, Charlie's bird mosaic and tatica's pruebas and freedom" as a base for selecting the best default and after a round of the preliminary feedback, one was moved[2] from extras-proposals to default-proposals "there seems to be non-ignorable amount of people who want it in default so I moved it to default for now."

With the process of evolving the wallpapers being continuous, Máirín Duffy considered the feedback from Paul Frields and proposed[3] an improved version for one of the concepts "As per Paul's suggestion to try to modify the perspective of María's mosaico designs to make it vibrate a little less with icons on the desktop, I did some experimentation today in Inkscape with perspective."

Martin called for a decisional meeting[4] for wallpapers "I suggest that people raise their reasons for and against choosing one or another in this thread and we hold a (hopefully) short IRC session next Monday (2009-08-10) to make the final decision. Would 16:00 UTC be a good time for everyone?"

A Design Spin?

With the uproar about the announcement made by Matthias Clasen on the Desktop list[1] about the removal of GIMP from the Desktop spin, Martin Sourada asked[2] about the status of an old project of the Design Team "What has happened to the Art Studio spin (or whatever it was called) we were trying to make? I've just seen a message on desktop-list proposing dropping gimp from Desktop Spin (the infamous size issues), so it would probably make sense to resurrect the idea of having a spin for (not only) Fedora designers with all the apps we use, like gimp, inkscape, blender, scribus, etc." and Nicu Buculei bitterly replied about the inactivity in that area "As far as I know, the spin is on hold, waiting for someone to take the lead". However, indirect talks on IRC and blog comments indicate a good level of interest for the project.

Constantine Banners

In anticipation of the Alpha release, several banner proposals were advanced: a generic one for the Alpha release[1] by Paolo Leoni, a final release banner proposal[2] from Maria Leandro, another[3] from Charlie Brej and finally Paolo's remade banner[4].
