Well, I've touched this many times on the marketing lists, pitty no ever cared... and even more pitty this is always in the last stage and that there isn't any real planning for this kind of things... oh well, its life. NM

I ended up on that very same photo by personal choice and it was used widelly for openSUSE media articles, and no one asked me either for permission ;) I think that most people would be proud on being on the cover, and not tail us legally, though some GIMP handling could be done to remove Sirko ;) NM

traitor that makes advertisement for an other distribution :-)) for me, I don't care, but it's venough to have one people complaining to be in trouble. Depends also of the photo context.

I think I understand your concerns in full, and you are right... But if we think closely that photo has been used in lots of places, including for media... So far I haven't seen no one complain. It's for promoting openSUSE Community, from whom those are the faces of openSUSE Community. There's no corporate labels, no project disputes, just contributors.
From my side, as I am one of the persons in the photo, I wouldn't raise a problem, but there's more people there and it's nice someone brought up this issue. Maybe in the future when we take a 'family' photo we can ask people if they mind we use it to promote the community. From my perspective it is very important to promote the community with some faces. A simple reason for this:
* We are people! * We aim for people! * Even those who aren't our traditional audience, might be traditional audience of our sponsors or 'customers' (in the cases where this can be represented by a service promoted by openSUSE); So, the key feature is actually people! And no, we're not pioneering this, Fedora is doing for a long time and with quite a success. I would truly love to see this issue worked, because I believe it can make a huge different in approaching our users. Either way, I truly love the DVD sleeves. At first when Sirko presented the wallpapers I found them too dark (and I still do up to a point), but after seeing the implementation made, it gives a hell of a kick arse image. NM

I also understand your concern, but please keep in mind this is not just a random photo, but a group photo that was announced before and ONLY people that wanted to be in the photo came to the shooting area.

Awesome, though FWIW I think the cover looks excellent as it is. The main text reads well, and I do like the invitation to be part of it at the end. There probably isn't time to be over-workshopping. No point in having an perfect cover if it isn't wrapped around the DVDs! cheers, Helen -- IRC: helen_au helen.south@opensuse.org helensouth.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help@opensuse.org

Oh I thought you meant a DVD cover... http://paste.opensuse.org/50141800 Anyways, here's a draft: http://paste.opensuse.org/94433203 (high-contrast). Cheers, -- Javier Llorente
And I missed something... maybe a link to openSUSE page in the front cover on a very visible spot, I would go for the lower right side with a font maybe 1/15 of the height of the cover. NM On Wed, Mar 2, 2011 at 4:33 PM, Nelson Marques <nmo.marques@gmail.com> wrote:
