Plymouth Theme

Martin Sourada complained on the @Design-Team about the Plymouth (boot plash) theme quality in Fedora 14 "The throbbing-and-loading-at-the-same-time fedora logo with great amount of rendering glitches is just a sore in the eye and gives a really bad impression to our users. I'm not sure if it's intentional or a bug, but either way, it needs fixing" and proposed a change "Personally I'd prefer switching to spinfinity theme. It's simple and professional looking and it does not have any rendering glitches", Máirín Duffy and others endorsed the change "+1 for spinfinity;it's much nicer" but the devloper, Ray Strode, explained it is a bug going to be solved "It's just a bug. I plan to look at it soon."

FUDCon Roll-Call

Máirín Duffy called the Design Team members who will participate at the following FUDCon "Who's going to be at FUDcon Zurich from the design team?" and invited at a joint-project "it would be cool if all the design team members present ran a workshop". Jef van Schendel, Nicu Buculei, Pierros Papadeas and Jaroslav Reznik confirmed.

Supplemental Wallpapers

Fabian A. Scherschel asked the Design Team to vote for the selection of supplemental wallpapers to be included in Fedora 14 "I just closed the Supplemental Wallpaper Submissions down. Please head to the main page and the older one which also has excellent images and pick the 20 images you like the most. Please submit your vote here or at the IRC meeting on Tuesday when we'll wrap the voting process up and pick the final winners" and Emily Dirsh, Nicu Buculei, Maria Leandro and Catalin Festila submitted their votes by mail. The final selection is due for the next IRC meeting of the team.
