'''This section needs to be filled out.'''
== Comments and Discussion ==
 
* See [[Talk:Design_Suite]]   
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:''' [https://wiki.gnome.org/ThreePointNine Gnome 3.10]
* '''Size:'''  2GB USB stick or DVD
 
== Packages ==
 
To suggest a package we should include, add it to the [[#Under consideration]] table.
 
=== Questions ===
 
* What do we do with brushes?
* Will we get our own spin design?
* Which gimp plugins do we include?
* What about a comps group for the spin?
* What makes it into a bookmarks package?
* Will we get great inkscape tutorials packaged [http://linuxgrrl.com/learn/Courses]?
 
=== Included ===
 
These are packages that have been chosen for inclusion in this release. They may still need packaging help.

== Resources ==
 
Some places to get ideas from:
 
* 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* For an older list of packages we may want to consider for the final F13 build, see the (several releases out-of-date) [[Artwork/ArtTeamProjects/FedoraArtStudio/PackageManifest|  Fedora Art Studio Package Manifest]]
* Should we include clip art from [[http://www.openclipart.org openclipart.org], [[http://www.wpclipart.com/ http://www.wpclipart.com/], or other sources? Also see the old [[Artwork/ArtTeamProjects/FedoraArtStudio/Clipart| 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
* [[Image: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?
** http://commoncontent.org/
** http://www.artistx.org/site/free-media/free-media.html
** http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
** http://www.texturewarehouse.com/gallery/index.php
** http://www.archive.org
* 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?
* [https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Design_Suite&oldid=142870 Older versions of this page] have some ideas and lots of links as well.
