Hi, A little status update whats going on with Art-Team. On the wiki page I did, we have now 7 people they are interested to join this team and work with it. 3 of them make after he wrote her names there an userpage in the wiki, I think we have new people interested to join our community. More I think coming when the team is formed and begin to work. We should make the next steps. We should come together and find together out how we can work for the project. We need 3 things for this a place, an date and a agenda. The first thing is easy, we have our own IRC channel on freenode #opensuse-artwork. For the last, Javier wrote on the wiki page ( http://en.opensuse.org/Art-Team ) some ideas and help me to fill the page with informations. Thx ;) Now we have to find a date for an meeting. For this I made a doodle voting ( http://doodle.com/k72vxes94u3wgt6d ) to find a termin. I choosed the the time between the next project and board meeting. And also friday and saturday. The time there means UTC and when there isnt a time for u then say it, maybe we can choose an other time. That meeting isnt alone for the Art-Team but for all they interested to have such an team. Maybe u are not an artist but have ideas how we can help the project. br gnokii -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello, first let us take care about the importanst thing - build a art-team. Whatever could be it never take place with people they take care of it ;) > > As I was suggesting in irc, > > - Create a place on the lines of http://gnome-look.org (may be call it - http://en.opensuse.org/arts ) There exists such a place http://suse-art.org/ Its the same owner like gnome or kde-look, Frank Karlitschek. U had the chance to met him on conference. > - Integrate this page with the rest of the wiki for the sign-in, auth. etc. > - Allow anyone to upload any pictures or wallpapers they made > - Have RSS updates (or) mailing lists for any wallpapers (logos/ images/ themes) added , which will notify about new / modified images > - A team of moderators (volunteers) can reject any wallpaper (if found to contain porn / offensive pictures) > - Other glamorous items like, Voting / ranking / download stats etc. can also be proivded if possible But when u look on suse-art there are many things that not take care about guidlines or "porn" ;) > > P.s: (Shouldnt there be some software already doing most of these ? gallery ? ) Yes there existing software for doing such things > > Okay ? > > gnokii btw Thanks for this very nice initiative and I would love to see some new wallpapers for openSUSE :-) I take this initative not for create more wallpaper or such stuff but rather than give people a better change to contribute to openSUSE. br gnokii > > > > > -- > Sankar > http://psankar.blogspot.com > -- more http://karl-tux-stadt.de/ktuxs http://www.xing.com/go/invita/11208336 http://twitter.com/karltuxstadt http://identi.ca/karltuxstadt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] build an art team

Hello, I found a little problem over artwork for openSUSE, so I'll try to give some funny examples to illustrate it. # Alternative # I've got a bit of a problem over artwork for openSUSE, so I'll try to give some funny examples to illustrate it. Yesterday, I had a brief conversation with Zonker on #opensuse-marketing channel which was triggered by the feature request on openFATE: https://features.opensuse.org/308761 Is openFATE the good place to contribute graphics for openSUSE? I don't think so, because the screening team has a lot of work to do which should be taken place. Just then, I remember the voting that Zonker made the other day for 11.2 DVD cover. Although Raul made a cover just for fun, it was lucky that zonker recognized it and made a poll. Jimmac u had right that was the old style About the same time, I used the same old look for the posters for launch parties. But with my poster, things got weird. Strainu from Bucarest came to me and asked the sources for it. I happily accepted his request and in a short while he got it. But the funny thing is, that he went to nicubunu and asked him to change the text on it. Why on earth must a openSUSE member ask the Fedora art team to help with this ? Btw, nicubunu, googled for the "fifth leg font". Take a look at the result: http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&source=hp&q=fifth+leg +font&btnG=Google-Suche&meta=&aq=f&oq= There are a lot more things like that - some time ago I made a twitter wallpaper for suseROCKs because he would like to have and recently Zonker also used it. It's funny because he can find that wallpaper in the wiki. The point here is, when I look in the wiki, there are a lot of different pages in which I can find artworks. Sometimes I can find a good artwork and I'm sure the artist who made it has talent for graphic arts. What do we do with "features" like 308761? Should we decline them because they are not the things for openFATE or harsher because they are not good enough? Or, give that guy a room for building up his skills for graphics in an "art team"? How should we deal with the other guys who made graphics and have talent? Let them put their graphics in the wiki and hope others can find and use them? Or, give them a chance to make graphics as tasks if needed, in openSUSE Art-Team? IMO, it is important to give people a good chance to contribute to the project in such ways. There were several persons on the marketing channel yesterday and we got the idea, why not pack such "features" in a package like "artwork-contrib" and if there are too much candidates, give people the chance to vote which artwork should be in the package? I think we have enough talented members and a lot of users who might be interested in contributing in this way and we can build openSUSE Art-Team. Are there anyone who think that what I want is right? If the answer is yes, step forward and say Yes ;) jimmac & garrett, I think an art team is not really possible without you. So, I hope you will be the first two guys that step forward. Then, we should have a meeting, maybe on the artwork channel, yeah we have such a thing ;) When we have enough people who step forward, I'm going to make a doodle vote for finding the best date for it. br gnokii -- more http://karl-tux-stadt.de/ktuxs http://www.xing.com/go/invita/11208336 http://twitter.com/karltuxstadt http://identi.ca/karltuxstadt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org
