Hi all. I would suggest the slogan 'grow together' Greets MarcusVictor hck schrieb am 12.01.13 01:20: Hi Well not decided slogan, only what I decided and I'm not english speaker so sure that can be better!! ;) I thought in it when I saw the numbers 12.3 Maybe it can means: Its time to do a bigger comunity, a change... I don't know... Another better proposal for slogan or text? If there is I can modified the design, no problem about that... And what about of the rest?

Like telling people to stop acting childish and grow up. Another interpretation of it is "time" implies that 12.3 isn't quite ready for full-stage prime time. As in, we're taking our time nice and slow in 12.3. Ah, thanks for the tip. afk for today.

Hi, One of my friends came up with this poster for promoting Google Summer of Code at various LUG's. I think it can be used with the posters made by Victor for promotion at events and distribution to LUG's.

>>> Rajko 01/09/13 4:32 AM >>> >What is dictating vector graphics? There are 2 categories of factors that dictate openSUSE's current use of Vector graphics for branding 1) Historical For years, openSUSE has used vector graphics for branding, and a large amount of tooling to make the packaging process easier has been developed to make use of that fact Most important, the Make process that takes the contents of the Branding Github repo and turns it into a tar.gz file for use in the branding-openSUSE package currently requires SVG files You can learn more about the Make process by reading https://github.com/openSUSE/branding/blob/12.3/README and understanding https://github.com/openSUSE/branding/blob/12.3/Makefile which is the code in question Without this makefile, we would need to manually generate dozens of files in dozens of different formats at dozens of different aspect ratios and resolutions - it would be a huge amount of work, and so far I've seen no one prepared to do it (I certainly am not) In my eyes, the sensible route forward if people want Raster format, someone needs to put the work in to make the process at least as painless as the current one, which would probably mean a dramatic rewrite of the Makefile linked above. However, even if someone did all that work (and in doing so make Raster a viable option for the distribution), my personal preference is still for Vector because of.. 2) Practical Vector graphics are infinitely easier to scale, from the tiniest resolutions to the highest. The elements are all easy to move, which is of critical important when you think we currently support 4 different aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9, 16:10 and 5:4), all of which often require subtle differences in order to make a design 'look' right Simple cropping is NOT good enough in most cases, and we need to make sure we're doing our best to support EVERY resolution out there at every aspect ratio that makes sense - that's hard to do unless you're making Rasters at what I would consider to be 'stupid' resolutions (3000+ in each dimension) the ease of managing, modifying, and reusing the elements is also important when wanting to create marketing materials based on the distribution branding - yes, this is something we keep on saying we dont want to do any more, but in the absence of a version neutral marketing artwork, then we're still likely to keep on basing stuff on the Distribution version, and so this benefit of SVG's really comes into play It's also a simple case of flexibility - some applications require SVG, most support Raster, by creating the core artwork in SVG we can easily convert to Raster when needed, but use SVG when possible - this doesn't work the other way around, it's not viable to convert Raster art into proper vectors (and no, embedding raster in SVG's does not count) I hope that clears things up PS. that readme file I linked provides further info for your other question about Workflow -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] How to work with opensuse-branding repo?
by Rajko 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Unlike opensuse-artwork workflow with a git that is explained in a wiki page, opensuse-branding seems more complicated and not explained at all. From information in this list and on Github, it seems that: * branding Github repo is source for build service, * access is moderated by Coolo. We need detailed workflow. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner(a)opensuse.org

You can easily "convert" the artwork github repo to a live site with github pages. http://pages.github.com/ Just find a jekyll directory listing plugin and setup the site on github.
