Artwork in Fedora
- Recent email threads on fedora-desktop-list@redhat.com
- Discussion centered around who is responsible for the "look and feel" of Fedora
- Look of default icon set of distribution is important because it does makes a first impression on new users
- Where does Fedora define "Upstream Fedora Artwork" to exist?
- Is Fedora specific art work considered to be working "upstream" or does such an "upstream" exist?
- The Board is ultimately responsible for the look and feel of Fedora but would like it to be clear that it has delegated this responsibility to the Fedora Art Team
- Historically this was FESCo's responsibility
- When FESCo recently re-evaluated its role it retained many of its previous responsibilities, but did not exclicity retain responsibility over the look and feel of Fedora. As a result this responsibility reverted to the Fedora Board.
- There were no dissenting votes to the following resolution:
- RESOLUTION
- FESCo has previously delegated the responsibility to determine the look and feel of Fedora to the Artwork team, and the Board continues to support that decision
- The Artwork team, like any other Fedora team, should work with other groups to develop consensus on look and feel discussions
- The Artwork team should formally decide whether or not Echo should be the default icon set in Fedora 10
