Thank you much!!!

Best regards, Olga

Hello Olga

You're kidding me right? :-)) At 4 months of the release, and from what I've read on the mailing list, we don't have any kind of definitive idea about what the final design will be.

I suppose, and guess we should have something or at least a clear idea of it end of August ...

Regards

Olga's concern is correct. We have not had any design movement in a couple of months for the distribution. This however, will "feel" this way since many of the visual elements introduced on 12.3 are carrying on to 13.1. The team does not foresee many drastic changes in the design of 13.1 visually.

At this point we are waiting on the packaging members to chose the wallpapers that will be used on 13.1 and then our work will include refined changes to 13.1 but will probably focus on marketing.

Why packaging members are choosing the wallpapers? This shouldn't be in group involving artwork-team at least?

Did I miss something?

Yes. During the last process of having a wallpaper there was a lot of decision-making that did not go well and stalled the process. Not only that, it also caused disagreement within the team. It was a common consensus then that for 13.1 we would ask the packagers to choose the wallpaper for the final release. Ilmehtar volunteered to do this and we are now waiting on him to choose the wallpapers we will use on 13.1. Once he gives us an list of selected images, we will proceed with the the rest of the work for 13.1.

Expect more news on this as soon as the wallpapers are chosen.
