Hi again.
Rajko 01/05/13 11:07 PM >>> This is attempt to sort out instructions. Feel free to edit (I hope it is shared for edit), or just add comments if not sure. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K9PNnCvmGU1lC-FG1UQ_2BSHPVip-Y3Ap2-k2OuQ...
Firstly - Why is this document not on the Wiki?
Because I have feeling that wiki is limited in ability to concurrently edit document, add comments, and similar, but there is wiki page now: https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:OpenSUSE-artwork_group_at_Flickr
I will take care that after discussion right version is posted to Flickr. There is no need for rush as group has current version. This is more like cleanup and sorting edition.
Several contributors to this team have already stated their displeasure in using closed platforms as collaboration tools.
If they can provide better tools that fit the bill, I'm fine with that, but until that time I'll use what makes collaboration easier, and to satisfy puritans, try to make versions compatible.
I should not need a Google account to contribute to this list
Actually, if I set sharing right, then answer is no. You can see document and comment on it. If not I have to learn about sharing a bit more.
Secondly - As I've made very clear in several posts now, the openSUSE distribution currently requires its artworks to be generated as SVG files. Given Flickr has zero, none, nada, zip, support for Vector formats, the discussion of what we should have as a criteria for any Flickr submission portal is null and void
Requiring SVG is a miss. I'm not sure how that happened that SVG is a requirement.
SVGs are necessary for distro design. Pixel-art can be used for supplementary artwork.
You can get only vector graphics that is asking for skilled artists, and a lot of time to develop it. You miss all super good looking photos and graphics that people create as a bitmap.
From what I read through the lines is that you contributed some nice photos (which many of us like) and want them to see in the distro, right? If so, prepare a supplementary wallpaper package and with your photos. If you managed that, we could discuss afterwards, if we want to make some kind of public contest for additional background images.
It-s is one of vector graphics magicians, and I haven't seen any more in openSUSE.
Also, what exact format of SVG?
I'm working on SUSEgreeter, and background.svg file created for 12.2 greeter is far beyond my comprehension. Why elements of that SVG are in apparently random sizes with empty room on one side, outside of declared page size, etc?
All that greeter is asking for is 800x600 png file. Why in the hell one has to fit simple png to svg, just to make out of it png for the package? Is that some script that has requirement for svg? Is that the same script that generated broken gradients for some screen sizes in 12.1?
If you have an answer then share it. It is a bit short time to the freeze to let people guess and learn something that needs months.
SUSEgreeter is really simple. I could provide a background image for that if you can't work it out. But it's not top priority on my list. Greets Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
