Design Suite Planning: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 09:23, 22 December 2009

Introduction

The Design Suite is a project in progress to make a Remix (eventually a Spin) targeted towards professional designers, specifically the Fedora Design Team.

Download

The latest image is available at http://www.wuala.com/sdziallas/fedora. (This is a very temporary hosting solution.) This is a work in progress - although it has worked in a VM, it is not finished and may break.

How to contribute

Current tasks

#Download the current version and test it (at this point, you may want to do so in a VM (virtual machine)). Send feedback to the design-team mailing list.
Help us fill in our list of #Packages - what would you like to see on a Design Studio Spin and why?

Upcoming milestones

The list below is taken directly from the Fedora 13 schedule - milestones specific to this project should be added in.

2010-02-09 - Fedora 13 is branched from Rawhide
2010-03-02 - Alpha public availability
2010-04-06 - Beta public availability
2010-04-28 - Bug Complete (No More Changes)
2010-05-11 - Fedora 13 GA release

Design concepts

This section needs to be filled out.

What are the design concepts we've agreed on for this? Possible examples include:

select 'best of breed' apps vs "include as much as possible"
restrict to graphics vs also go for audio/video
include data vs not including data

Technical requirements

Based on: Fedora 13
Size: CD size? 2GB USB sticks?

Packages

Included

These are packages that have been chosen for inclusion in this release. They may still need packaging help.

Package	Status	Rationale
name of package	packaged or not?	Why we're including it

Rejected

These are packages that were suggested but turned down for this release due to size, code maturity, or other reasons.

Package	Rationale
name of package	Why we're not including it

Under consideration

Packages we have not yet made a decision on. If you'd like to suggest something for inclusion in the Design Studio, add it to the table below.

Package	Status	Rationale	Proposer
name of package	packaged or not?	Why should we include it?	Your name

Some thoughts:

Should we be including fonts? Which ones?
For an older list of packages we may want to consider for the final F13 build, see the (several releases out-of-date) Fedora Art Studio Package Manifest
Should we include clip art from [openclipart.org, [http://www.wpclipart.com/, or other sources? Also see the old Fedora Art Studio Clipart Selection and Planning Page.
Potential source of ideas: http://lifehacker.com/software/creative-commons/geek-to-live-6-ways-to-find-reusable-media-197538.php
File:Artwork ArtTeamProjects FedoraArtStudio artstudio-ks-oct 6 2007.cfg - Old kickstart file from October 2007
What should the default search be? http://www.iconfinder.net, http://search.creativecommons.org/, and http://www.yotophoto.com all seem like options.
Do we want to link (perhaps in a default bookmarks selection) to directories/libraries of artistic works created using open source software, or artistic works that are open-licensed?
Do we want to include (via bookmarks, on a webpage, as packages, etc) tutorials for the applications we are shipping?
How about color profiles?
Palettes?
Patterns and textures?
Brushes?

-Also links to free stock photo sites?

-==== Brushes ====
-A lot of the great Gimp Brushes out there aren't explicitly licensed, which can be an issue. Also, if they are licensed Creative Commons, are there any Creative Commons licenses that would make it okay to distribute this type of content in a Fedora spin?
