[opensuse-artwork] Improving the default wallpaper
by Eugene Trounev 15 Apr '12

15 Apr '12

Dear OpenSUSE artwork members, At our last IRC gathering we have chosen a new default wallpaper for the next release of the OS, and I took on a task of preparing it for the release. I took a shot at it and I think it's looking a little better. Now there aren't that many changes done, but for what I did here is an account with explanations: a) the overall color tone was adjusted - the original had a nice "old photo" look to it due to slightly washed palette used; very nice touch in itself, but I'm not sure we want a brand new release to look somewhat "washed" b) texture was added to compensate for Inkscape gradient deficiency (Inkscape can not do perfect gradients, using step algorithm instead) c) the shapes were smoothed out - purely cosmetic touch to make them look even more lightray-like There may be a few more tweaks I'll put on this, or Andy may come with an idea to make it even better. Please let me know what you think. Best Regards, Eugene Trounev [it-s]

[opensuse-artwork] GSOC poster for conferences etc
by Jos Poortvliet 16 Mar '12

16 Mar '12

Heya all, You might have read that GSOC 2012 is going to happen again: http://news.opensuse.org/2012/02/29/opensuse-gsoc-2012/ We need to tell students that they need to be HERE, with US! So we need a nice GSOC poster. Now google has made artwork for GSOC 2012: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0Z4BTG1iJDs/TyG9uyApFrI/AAAAAAAAAhY/raFJlaZqdes/s… I slapped a geeko on it but that's of course not good enough :D So, who can design some poster which can be used at conferences and universities to get students into GSOC 2012? I was thinking about taking google's image on the bottom of a poster, adding the blue on top and having some text there, see my crazy drawing here: http://susepaste.org/13964893 Something like that... I've uploaded it to github just so you have something as a starter :D BTW we still need a text for on this poster, too: http://susepaste.org/71297168 ideas? Love, Jos

[opensuse-artwork] suse commercial
by Michael Fox 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

I was just wondering, has the concept of a commercial for Suse been considered, as i was thinking earlier as it will not cost that much and can be done entirely in Suse with open tools like blender and OpenOctave or commercial apps like Houdini and Nuke. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi all I was checking that it has been a long time since we started the Dream openSUSE Initiative. I was wondering if you think that it is time to end it. Or should we keep it for a little longer? Let me know. Thanks friends Andy (anditosan) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] KDM Theme
by Marcus Moeller 22 Feb '12

22 Feb '12

Hi all, I know I've said I would take care of the KDM theme, but sadly I do not find the time. I would suggest to use the same shape as for the ksplash theme (maybe a bit larger). And please do not forget to add userlist support in some kind of form. If you want to keep the layout of the current theme, please add the patches from: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727821#c25 Thanks for taking care Marcus PS: You may only reach me off-list in the future. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] Fwd: openSUSE Summit website artwork
by andi robert 17 Feb '12

17 Feb '12

Hey friends We have a small mission today. In this email there are two images that represent arrows for a small slideshow that will be placed on the page for openSUSE Summit this year. However, the arrows are far from finished and need some cosmetics before we place it on the website. Can you take charge of creating a couple of arrows for this website? If there are no takers I can do it myself but I am sure that you guys can be a lot better in creating these graphics. Good inspiration can come from using the logo for the conference which you can find here http://s1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/anditosan/?action=view&current=Log… and also you can get inspiration from the current website proposal which you can find here http://suse2.shayon.me/ Andy (anditosan) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Shayon Mukherjee <opensuse(a)shayon.me> Date: Fri, Feb 17, 2012 at 7:16 AM Subject: openSUSE Summit website artwork To: Andres Silva <anditosan1000(a)gmail.com> Hi Andi, Attached are the images of the arrows. See what you and the team can do. Also I can use the one you showed in the image over the IRC (let me know). Also the size for the slides is 840px by 240px. Let me know if you have any questions! /Shayon

[opensuse-artwork] openSUSE Summit
by Shayon Mukherjee 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Hello, I am working on the openSUSE summit website. And in I am in need of some openSUSE summit related artwork. Its basically for the slider on the homepage. I have a jquery slider on the homepage and the dimensions of the images should be 940px - 240px . Is that doable ? :) Also, I was thinking of having a header image for rest of the pages. For example 1) CFP Submissions (940px - 240px) which should be openSUSE summit related theme 2) Talks (940px - 240px) which should be openSUSE summit related theme 3) Media/Press (940px - 240px) which should be openSUSE summit related theme 4) Contact (940px - 240px) which should be openSUSE summit related theme 5) and so on. In short openSUSE summit theme image for almost every page.Let me know what do you guys think about this idea. Is that doable? If so that would be really cool. The topics aren't implemented yet so I cant say anything as of now. But if you guys are willing to do it, I will send in a list of topics for which I will be needing the openSUSE summited themed header images. Thanks :) /Shayon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] Reminder
by andi robert 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

Hello Everyone! Just wanted to give you a quick reminder of our Dream openSUSE Initiative page where we are trying to learn more of the different ways in which you use your openSUSE graphical environment. Right now we have a few screenshots, but surely there are other members of our community who could contribute. The idea is to learn about the ways in which you use openSUSE. You add a screenshot and then add a description of the changes that you have made to your default desktop. Thank you again Andy (anditosan) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] Plymouth
by Nelson Marques 15 Feb '12

15 Feb '12

Hi all, I would like just to report availability to compose a Plymouth[1] theme for openSUSE if it gets deployed (everything seems to point that way). Plymouth will introduce supreme capabilities when it comes to scalling images and sprite management. I'm somehow familiar with it's scripting language, so as long as we have a blueprint to follow, I'm 99% sure I can implement it, nevertheless, the keyword is 'time'. If there is will to move such way, feel free to ping me in the future for it (blueprint/mock should be available before contact); NM -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner(a)opensuse.org

Heya all, I'm looking for a fun slogan or picture - something that makes people laugh. Like a t-shirt saying "ROCK IS DEAD (and paper killed it)" or one of the better xkcd comics ;-) Something for a sticker, poster or a t-shirt... Any ideas? /jos

[opensuse-artwork] [announcement] Code2000 font switched license from shareware to GPLv3+FE || OFL
by Paul Wise 04 Feb '12

04 Feb '12

Hi all, Great news! The author of the Code2000 pan-Unicode font has recently switched the font to being licensed under the GNU GPLv3. During the discussions where I attempted to verify the license and get commit access to the project, James granted dual licensing under the GPLv3+FE and the SIL OFL. Unfortunately he wants to keep the code2000.sf.net project as a historic and no-longer developed project and have us fork the project, hosting it elsewhere. My initial plans for the project are: * pick a name for the fork, C2K was suggested during the discussion * pick a site for hosting the fork, add Thierry, myself and anyone else who wants to join the project * setup a git repository and import the current binary TTF release * convert the binary TTF files into UFO format, which seems to be a more cross-vendor format than SFD, commit that to git. According to the current release, "All fonts are created from scratch natively in TTF format inside FontCreator 6.0". * cleanup and add documentation about the licensing * package it for Debian and encourage other distros to package it * blog about the freeing of the font and get that on LWN/etc * look for contributors and watch for bug reports -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
