Feature changed by: Andreas Demmer (ademmer) Feature #306473, revision 4 Title: Support KDE initiative to build a brand together openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Klaas Freitag (kfreitag) Description: Please carefully read http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2009/06/building-brand-together.html Aaron suggests to start combined efforts up- and downstream to create a strong brand for FOSS. Aaron outlines the overall goal: "The desired result is the ability to build a visually identifiable F/OSS desktop brand together , one that fits nicely with your brand as well. This way people can continue to say, "Oh hey, that's $COMPANY $NAME Linux" while giving the human population half a chance to build a relationship with F/OSS itself as a visually identifiable thing.In short: the goal is to increase our net effect in the market by working together." For that, the KDE project is starting to offer a service that helps creating a brand that is fine for both openSUSE and the KDE project. I think we should be an early adoptor here. + Discussion: + #1: Andreas Demmer (ademmer) (2009-06-08 16:19:33) + Pinheiro did a great job in the new default "Air" Plasma theme for KDE + 4.3. IMHO it looks much more attractive then openSUSE's default Aya + theme. + I suggest we should take the offer that they would do a openSUSE + branded KDE (e.g. geeko on the start button and the like). This would + not only help building the KDE brand but appeal to be designed with + much more love than the default openSUSE 11.1 KDE look was. + Plus, jimmac could concentrate his efforts on Gnome. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306473
