I can certainly commit the artwork to the GIT repo, if someone gives me the commit rights :)

Or you can do it for me. Also, there is an SVG equivalent as well, which is exactly the same as XCF (which was an original proof of concept) done fully in vectors. I have updated the archive (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32600284/test3.xcf.zip) you mentioned, removing all the garbage. So now it only has an XCF (for those who would like it in GIMP format) and SVG for those who prefer SVG

Cool, those work. Thanks :D

Hi Team,

Sorry I've been quiet for the last few weeks, been busy with work. Catching up with things now, it looks like we've still got plenty of work to do before we're 'ready' for 12.2

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the below is my understanding of the current state of play

We have my poorly implemented draft versions of the wallpaper, bootsplash, and all application splashes done, uploading to the appropriate gitorious repository http://gitorious.org/opensuse/art and implemented in 12.2/Factory as the appropriate branding packages

We also have a new design floating around (source here) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32600284/test3.xcf.zip which is being billed as the 'new 12.2 design' in the Splash screen contest.

However, this design is not in our gitorious repository, and is not packaged in any way, manner, or form for 12.2/Factory

This leaves us with quite a dilemma - Being an xcf file and not our usual svg, it is going to need someone to do a significant amount of work to rework all of our tools currently held in http://gitorious.org/opensuse/art to properly implement this design across the distribution.

I hate to be a party pooper, I am not prepared to do that much work alone, and am not aware of any others working on packaging art for 12.2. We've historically used SVG's because it makes things a lot easier when it comes to this implementation stuff (and there's other benefits too but not relevant for this discussion) I believe svg's is the right way we should be doing things and even if I didn't, I don't think approaching milestone 3 is a good time to throw out all of our tooling for the sake of this (rather nice) new design.

If that design can be implemented in our usual svg format, I am prepared to do the work for packaging and implementing it, as well as remaking all the splash screens like I already have done for Factory

If it can't be, we're going to need people to help get this design working and packaged - please take a look at what we have in the gitorious repo to learn how we're doing currently and all the places this design needs to be used. If you're interested in helping, please dive in, and I'll do everything I can to help you.

Alternatively, we can return to the already implemented draft svg design and just tweak and tune that, all of those files are in gitorious, again, feel free to roll up your sleeves and pitch in, I'll help every way I can - I can be found here, or on #opensuse-artwork as usual

Regards
