[opensuse-artwork] Git Repositories (was Re: New Plasma Theme)
Marcus, For your reference (and anyone elses) The correct git repository for collaborative artwork in progress, assets, and marketing materials is https://github.com/openSUSE/artwork The correct git repository for distribution branding is https://github.com/openSUSE/branding What's the difference between the artwork repo and branding repo? The way I see it (and I may be mistaken) is the artwork repo is there as a repository of artwork, assets, marketing materials, basically everything the artwork team need to make stuff, and the stuff the marketing teams need. It's also a great place for collaborative work for stuff like core distribution artwork/wallpapers, etc. The files in this repository are organised however the artwork and marketing team feels like organising, and there is little or not technical requirements for the files being stored here, as they are not directly used by the distribution. The branding repo on the other hand is more of a 'staging area' to hold the finished/nearly finished artworks that are going to be used in the actual distribution. The files in this repository are organised by their purpose in the distribution. Any files uploaded will need to conform to the technical requirements of the distribution and the current build scripts which are also held in this repository (As an aside, this is where our current requirement for all distribution artwork to be SVG based comes from - the script takes a few svg sources and produces dozens of different formats in whatever rastering, color depth, sizing formats that the dozens of different areas of the distribution requires) The repository is arranged in branches, one for each version of the distribution. The idea is, a packager should be able to clone a branch of the branding repo, run the Makefile, and then submit the resulting tar.gz file through OBS to be included in the distribution. I'm pretty sure we shouldn't be using Gitorious at all any more.

I have been working on a plasma theme for a couple of weeks now and I have tried making some progress with it. Now, I think it's a good time to show the work and ask for feedback. I am looking to show some solidity and small hints of green. I am looking to show finesse with this theme.
If you would like to help me with what's left, let me know.
I guess you are aware of the fact, that shumski, tittiatcoke and a few others are already working on a improved plasma theme. http://www.dennogumi.org/2012/11/new-theme-for-opensuse-12-3-is-now-in It would be great it your both efforts could be 'merged' to an overall improved user experience. Their work currently happens in K:D:F (which obviously is not the best place for that). It would be great if you could grant them access to the artwork GIT repository (where the heck it may be, now ;)). At least http://gitorious.org/opensuse/art is still activly used. So if it has moved, maybe someone might point kwwii to the new repositories. But that's just a side-note ;) Greets Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
Dear Richard. Thanks for pointing that out.

The correct git repository for distribution branding is https://github.com/openSUSE/branding
