Fedora 14 Alpha Artwork
As scheduled, at the latest weekly IRC meeting[1] the Design Team decided on the "winning" concept for Fedora 14 "We decided to go with Kyle Baker's latest iteration for the alpha". The team is interested in receive feedback as early as possible, so Martin Sourada wrote a blog post[2] pushed to Planet[3]. The package is being built and will land into Rawhide soon.
Design Team Weekly Meeting
Máirín Duffy started a debate[1] about the efficiency of the Design Team weekly IRC meetings "Are you able to make the meetings? Are you going? If not, how come? Is there anything we could change about the meetings to make them easier for you to attend? How can we make the meetings more fun?". Jef van Schendel supported[2] extended talks "I think the idea of having extended discussions after the meetings would be great", Martha Benitez pointed[3] to them as a good learning experience "I find the meetings a good way to learn more about all this and they are certainly an opportunity to get more involved" and Nicu Buculei encouraged[4] more the social part "I think we should do more socializing at those meetings, even if we do less work done."

The Comfortaa Font
Fabian A. Scherschel reopened[1] the talk about introducing Comfortaa as the new secondary font for Fedora branding with a complaint about the shape of one letter "As I mentioned in the meeting yesterday, I love the way Comfortaa looks and I think it goes well with the Fedora logo, the only problem I have with it is the way the capital 'i' looks" and at the latest IRC meeting[2], after a few weeks of evaluation, the Design Team decided in favor of Comfortaa, the evaluation for the body text is still open "We still need to make a Droid Sans vs. Cantarell decision."
New Join Page
After Michael Beckwith created[1] a new 'Join Page' for the Design Team[2] and Emily Dirsh added[3] a round of improvements from the perspective of a new contributor, the page went live[4], there is hopping this will make easier for new people to start contributing.
