Feature changed by: Thomas Thym (ungethym) Feature #306473, revision 6 Title: Support KDE initiative to build a brand together openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Klaas Freitag (kfreitag) Description: Please carefully read http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2009/06/building-brand-together.html Aaron suggests to start combined efforts up- and downstream to create a strong brand for FOSS. Aaron outlines the overall goal: "The desired result is the ability to build a visually identifiable F/OSS desktop brand together , one that fits nicely with your brand as well. This way people can continue to say, "Oh hey, that's $COMPANY $NAME Linux" while giving the human population half a chance to build a relationship with F/OSS itself as a visually identifiable thing.In short: the goal is to increase our net effect in the market by working together." For that, the KDE project is starting to offer a service that helps creating a brand that is fine for both openSUSE and the KDE project. I think we should be an early adoptor here. Discussion: #1: Andreas Demmer (ademmer) (2009-06-08 16:19:33) Pinheiro did a great job in the new default "Air" Plasma theme for KDE 4.3. IMHO it looks much more attractive then openSUSE's default Aya theme. I suggest we should take the offer that they would do a openSUSE branded KDE (e.g. geeko on the start button and the like). This would not only help building the KDE brand but appeal to be designed with much more love than the default openSUSE 11.1 KDE look was. Plus, jimmac could concentrate his efforts on Gnome. + #2: Thomas Thym (ungethym) (2009-06-19 18:14:09) + +1I think this is a great oppotunity to save ressources. We don't have + to invite the wheel twice and in my opinion the KDE team does fantastic + design work. If the openSUSE brand is placed in a good way we don't + loose anything, but gain a lot. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306473
