[opensuse-artwork] Conference Cleanup
Hello friends Since the conference is now over, I would like to ask for some help in doing cleanup on our git repository. Since the conference the size of our repo has grown quite a bit, however, I am sure that there are many files used for the conference that are no longer needed. I think it would be good to just keep sources and key artwork. But there are also many trial artwork pieces that are not needed and are taking room. I will be taking a look in the coming days into GIT, but I would not like to delete something that I am not sure what purpose it serves. Thank you -- Andy (anditosan) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

I think the whole structure screams for a cleanup. It's _very_ hard to find artwork. I would appreciate it if we could have a go at it _after_ we have discussed what to remove and what to move where, here, together.

So far I only removed png's and pdf's made out of the svg source files for oSC 13. However, I know there is a lot there that is probably too old, and serves no purpose anymore. I would suggest removing artwork that is past 3 years old. Anything documenting old events, old marketing strategies and old social media artwork. Additionally we can do another restructuring of the repo. I tried achieving some organization last time I worked on git and created the folder "Marketing Materials." Although, since there are many people working and submitting to git, we all bring in a new naming scheme and new numeric scheme to the files we submit resulting in disorganization. Maybe another area of focus would me to homogenize file names. Let me know what you think. -- Andy (anditosan) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

It's not because it's old than you don't need it. FithLeg fonts, basics colors etc What would have been cool, is the meta-git repository, which contain differents branches, So someone wanting only social media would have check out only a small part. But this need a bit of structure. I like the way coolo setup the branding -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

That is what I was thinking about artwork, but how to do that? -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

I like this idea! Maybe we can follow coolo's model. Although I don't know how to do it.

Any volunteers? I volunteer myself to give info on a particular file to see how we can catalogue it. -- Andy (anditosan) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

Since there have been no corrections yet to my last cleanup on git, I will now remove the extra space from my hard disk. I was keeping a copy of the removed items just in case we needed something back. Maybe we can come up with a diagram showing the different branches for artwork and then propose a structure. What you think Henne? :D -- Andy (anditosan) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org

Sweety, git is a version control system. Removing files from it does NOT save space, nor does it remove the file. You can not remove files from git, it will simply move them to the history (the .git directory in the home of your git repo checkout). You never loose history, that is the whole idea behind a BCS. So removing things to save space is a big waste of time: it makes the repository 0,0% smaller. Actually, it makes it bigger, as it has to store the fact that you tried to remove a file. Once you have checked something in, it will eat space until the end of time (or you remove the repository and start a new one). Of course people COULD check out a repo without its history: git clone --depth 1 But I doubt many people know and do that. Hugs, J
