[opensuse-artwork] Allow me to introduce myself
by Eugene Trounev 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Dear OpenSUSE Artwork team, My name is Eugene Trounev [it-s], I live in Toronto - Canada, and I have been working as an independent graphic artist in and around open source community for a number of years. This December OpenSUSE development team has asked me to join the project as an artwork consultant, and help OpenSUSE's excellent artwork team to insure that OpenSUSE will always be just as excellent visually as it is performance-wise. My credentials include much work on KDE UI and look as a part of KDE Oxygen team. Web design for independent parties, as well as for the open source community as a part of KDE www team. Mobile application UI development for such platforms as Android and Meego (Harmattan). Desktop application UI prototyping. Wallpaper design and digital illustration. Icons and logos (though icons I'm not that good at). If you wish to see some my works for yourself please visit my page on Deviantart http://it-s.deviantart.com/ First of all I would like to apologize for a delayed introduction. As I mentioned earlier I have been asked to join back in December and it is mid January now. However January happens to be a very busy month here in Canada :) Another important point to remember is that I'm here to help, and consult and NOT to take over and command. I would like to cooperate with each and everyone on the team in the most civil and coordinated manner possible. However until I am fully integrated and know my ways around I will have lots of questions, and I WILL make lots of mistakes at first just because I do not know. So bear with me. Now the first thing on my agenda is to get to know every one of you, and understand how things work around here. So if anyone would kindly volunteer to guide me through, it would be much appreciated. I have joined IRC (both #openSUSE and #openSUSE-artwork, my nick is [it-s]. And in closing I would like to say that it is a great honour for me to be helping OpenSUSE team, and I'm looking forward to working closely with all of you. Best Regards, Eugene Trounev [it-s] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] 12.2 Wallpaper Artwork Submission Is Over - Voting Open
by andi robert 23 Jan '12

23 Jan '12

Hello my dear friends of the community Our wallpaper submission deadline for openSUSE 12.2 is now over. We asked a few of our artists to help us create a good selection of wallpapers for the upcoming release. Our deadline was fixed very early since the wallpaper is has become a key element in creating derivative artwork, such as Twitter banners, Facebook profile pictures, DVD sleeves and many other things. Hence our early date, we wanted to work on our artwork early enough so that we can make more derivative artwork faster and with improved quality. We understand that there may be people in the community who have worked on wallpapers for 12.2 and have not yet submitted them to the wallpaper artwork page located here http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Wallpapers If you know of anyone who is worked on a wallpaper and would like to submit them, please let us know via email. You can reply to this email to let us know as well. That way we can include everyone who wanted to give this contest a try. If no there are no replies by Monday January 23, 2012, we will assume that such wallpapers cannot make it into the contest. Another change we made this time is that we will choose one default wallpaper and then two other wallpapers as extras in case users would not want to use the default wallpaper. For this I am trying to find out what packages can carry the default wallpaper and what package can carry the other 2 wallpapers chosen. Please, if you know, post it on this email thread. I believe coolo might now, would you let us know what is more recommendable in case we want to include more wallpapers? As usual, you can review the wallpapers on the page mentioned above and start voting just like it was done last time. One more thing, thank you so much artists for your great and valuable work. openSUSE should look pretty awesome after your contributions made it to the release. Thank you again. PS: My emails are imperfect. I may have omitted important information. If so, please add it to this thread. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] 12.2 Wallpaper Selection
by andi robert 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

Hello dear artists It seems that we have managed to get a few wallpapers submitted to the wallpaper page, which is awesome, and now we need to decide on a couple of things. Last voting process that we had was really good and good submissions were placed in our wallpaper voting. Obviously, only one wallpaper was chosen, yet there were others that were really good still. My question is, should we choose more than one wallpaper to be packaged this time for the artwork on 12.2 or just one like last time. Maybe we could choose a default one and also 2nd and 3rd place which could be included by default in the wallpaper package for KDE ang Gnome. Please let me know your thoughts and be ready for tomorrow for the submission deadline completion. Thank you again for your great work.
