[opensuse-artwork] poll about color for 12.1
by jdd 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Hello, The artwork team need to have a clue of what is the desired direction we have to take about color in 12.1. The delay is extremely small. So we setup a very fast poll (end on September 27, 2011 - don't know if connect think end of the day or beginning and what hour) https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/polls/read/jdd/14743/do-we-want-blue-or-gre… we don't ask for a real decision, but for a direction. many examples have been made on the artwork mailing list and an indicative vote made there, but we are not a sufficient number to do this alone http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-artwork/2011-09/ thanks you for getting a look. NB: It's the first poll I write on connect, I'm not sure of how this thing works. any hint welcome) NB2: Robert Lihm was charged to make the choice by the artwork team during OSC 2011, so chance is it's him that will make the final decision jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xgxog7_clip-l-ombre-et-la-lumiere-3-bad-pi… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGgv_ZFtV14 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] 12.1 concept status update
by Marcus Moeller 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Hi all. We had a short irc meeting (as Robert announced earlier) and agreed that we want to stick with the Verde concept, which is Azul in green. I suggested some slight modifications: http://minus.com/mbcy5pFohE as this would leave enough place for the KDE desktop folder. The openSUSE logo is also more prominent in the above version. Richards designs will be packages within the additional wallpaper rpm by Javier, so hopefully everyone will be satisfied. Next step is to update the SVGs and create an KDM theme. I will try to take care of that. Coolo is going to take a look at the bootsplash theme. Till now, thanks all contributors for the great work. We still got a lot to do, but I am sure we will make 12.1 a glorious release :) Greets Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi all. In line with the topic that has been suggested by Klaas, what about something like: http://minus.com/mGj1Zn9LP The original design has once been made by techhead89, but I think we can easily adopt it.

Yet another set of variations on my designs - as much as I love the blue, I wouldn't be a geeko if I didn't try some more greens (but this set shouldn't burn out your eyes like earlier..) http://www.sysrich.co.uk/121wallpaper/barcurls-119-green.png http://www.sysrich.co.uk/121wallpaper/barcurls-119-green-darker.png http://www.sysrich.co.uk/121wallpaper/barcurls-119-green-darker-white.png http://www.sysrich.co.uk/121wallpaper/barcurls-119-green-notsobright.png and my earlier blue in 4:3 http://www.sysrich.co.uk/121wallpaper/barcurls-43-blue.png >>> Robert Lihm 09/23/11 1:40 PM >>> On 23.09.2011, at 13:53, Marcus Moeller wrote: > Am 23.09.2011 13:51, schrieb Stephan Kulow: >> Am Freitag, 23.

Having a community based artwork in a beta-version is IMO much better then a photo I made ages ago.

Re: [opensuse-artwork] Sonor
by Richard Brown 26 Sep '11

26 Sep '11

Hi Again Marcus, Probably best you discuss this on opensuse-gnome (cc'd) There was discussion at the GNOME 3 session at oSC which decided that it was highly likely we will be using the default theme in 12.1, but perhaps with Sonar-GTK3 packaged as an option Since then, half-left, the person behind the Sonar-GTK3 port has got involved and is actively working to get Sonar working satisfactorily on GNOME 3.2. At this stage, my opinion would be that it is possible, though unlikely, that Sonar-GTK3 will be ready enough to be considered to be the default for 12.1. My creation of 'sonar-friendly' versions of my wallpapers was just my small effort to help half-left along. AFAIK no "official" decision has been made. I don't think the themes available or chosen by default by a DE should be a decision exclusively made by the -artwork team.. Rich / Ilmehtar >>> Marcus Moeller 09/23/11 8:11 PM >>> Hi all. As we seem to tend to use a blue wallpaper this time, I would like to propose NOT to use Sonar anymore. Imho, Sonar was never really beautiful, It's way to dark and has some strange colors. I would rather like to stick with the GNOME 3 default theme which is Adwaita. This one is compatible with nearly every design. Greets Marcus PS: I know Vincent likes Sonar a lot, but I think he could also live with Adwaita (listening to his GNOME heart :)) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] openSUSE Logo on Wallpapers
by Marcus Moeller 25 Sep '11

25 Sep '11

Hi all. I have re-read: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Artwork_brand and noticed that the logo has to be either SUSE green, white or black. SUSE green is only allowed on white background. This means we have to stick with: http://minus.com/lblfJ8NedFIeWB and/or http://minus.com/lMTOrvhOCe7Ji Greets Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org

Okay when I said my last submissions were to be my last submissions, I lied - even though voting is in full swing I'm still tweaking my designed based on the great discussions flying around here Still based on my core design, I've been experimenting with blues and whites like azul4 The result is http://www.sysrich.co.uk/121wallpaper/draft13.png http://www.sysrich.co.uk/121wallpaper/draft13.svg I think this could be a really nice option for a wallpaper, with maybe a dark green background with white grass/geeko or light green background with black grass/geeko for bootsplash Richard / Ilmehtar >>> Will Stephenson 09/23/11 9:51 AM >>> On Friday 23 Sep 2011 09:39:57 Robert Lihm wrote: > On 22.09.2011, at 17:05, Marcus Moeller wrote: > > On 09/22/2011 04:56 PM, Marcus Moeller wrote: > >> Dear Stephan, > >> > >>>> I personally wouldn't use a completly different design for > >>>> installation/boot and desktop. > >>> > >>> Can I know why?

Fwd: [opensuse-artwork] Big Picture Idea
by Helen South 24 Sep '11

I had suggested Google+ and someone else said that they did not use it; I don't think it's appropriate to require members to use it; the general consensus seems to be against using social networking other than mailing list. > It was actually you who mentioned usin google plus as a suggestion for a meeting.

[opensuse-artwork] general notes on ML polls
by Marcus Moeller 24 Sep '11

24 Sep '11

Hi all. here are some general notes on ML polls. Please use the original thread to vote. Only give one +1. Votes with more than one +1 will note be counted. Comment in a separate thread (e.g. if the vote thread is named openSUSE 12.1 wallpaper poll, use a comment thread openSUSE 12.1 wallpaper comments for discussion). Keep the thread as it is (do not snip out or modify +1s by others). Add a blank line after your +1. Here is an example how this might look: >>> > >> DRAFT1 >> > > >> > > +1 > > +1 > > >>> > >> >>> > >> DRAFT1 >> > > >> > > +1 > > +1 +1 <<<<<<<<<<<---- this is your vote >>> > >> DRAFT3 >> > > >> > > +1 > > +1 > > If you follow these guidelines, we will always have a good overview of already given votes and do not have to hardly them count one by one. If you do not follow these guidelines, your vote will not be counted. You might also get excluded from upcoming votes. Polls on the list are limited to users who subscribed there and should not be cross posted to other lists (e.g. an artwork poll should not be sent out to the marketing list, too). Cross posting is a bad idea in general (greets to Jos). As the current openSUSE 12.1 wallpaper poll has already been broken (by the first voter :)) these rules does not apply there. I admit that I have not clearly stated the rules before. Sorry. Hope that helps for upcoming polls.
