Meet the Lion

After the first reactions following the inclusion of a new wallpaper concept in Rawhide for the Beta release, more members of @fedora-art endorsed the proposal made last week by Samuele Storari for a new concept and Máirín Duffy concluded^[1]: "I have to agree with this.Would anyone be especially opposed to going with Samuele's Lion idea, seeing that both Samuele and Charlie have committed to helping out with it?".

The work on the new concept advanced with a few Plymouth proposals^[2] from Charles Brej and an anaconda splash ^[3] Samuele Storari.

Interview with the Art Team

The Fedora Art Team reveived^[1] the request to participate in an interview for the Linux Graphics Users forum^[2] and a few members of the team replied: Nicu Buculei^[3], Luya Tshimbalanga^[4] and Maria Leandro^[5]

A Mascot for Fedora? Better Not!

Ashiqur Rahman Angel asked^[1] on @fedora-art about a mascot "Is there any possibility of a new mascot based on recent versions of Fedora?". Wile some tried to design a cute character^[2], Nicu Buculei noted^[3] the past abandon of such an initiative "The general opinion of the larger community was that we don't need a mascot, so we didn't pursue the effort" and [[User:pfrields|Paul W. Frields] went further^[4], arguing strongly against "A mascot would be brand diluting at this point, so my inclination is against having one."

This graphic proposal is about the proud and the glory for being a king and the subject is shouting:'The King is here!'"
