[opensuse-artwork] 12.1 wallpaperS ?
by James Mason 19 Oct '11

19 Oct '11

So we've decided to use whatever-its-called as the default 12.1 wallpaper, but the decision was far from unanimous. I propose we include half a dozen of the favored wallpapers, and give the users our favorite choices, not just the one. -- James Mason SUSE Studio Developer openSUSE Member 2925 Roeder Ave Ste 300 Bellingham, WA 98225-2065 USA +1 360.752.6707 james.mason(a)suse.com ---------- SUSE ---------- Great Minds UnITe - BrainShare 2011 - Register at novell.com/brainshare -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] The awesome Flyer v4
by Jos Poortvliet 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

Hi all, The awesome brochure sources have finally been recovered. You can find them here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29347181/openSUSE%20brochure_v4.eps There is a number of changes we need to do, all summarized in the document with the updated text: * Text needs review * Need to turn the Brochure in a 3-panel trifold on A4 * Remove 'links' pane on front * Replace front text with shorter text (see below) * Re-arrange back to fit A4 and use improved text (see below) * Get rid of the SUSE and Novell logos, this is an openSUSE Brochure * We need to make this Creative Commons, except for the logo's. * The openSUSE Logo on the front page is some self made logo with strange color in the text, needs to be fixed. * There is only one small Geeko on the whole brochure. We need more :D * A bit less SUSE Studio, a bit more other openSUSE projects. Nice to have: * We can use the upcoming 12.1 artwork on the front * turn it into a SVG so it can be translated more easily! See the above todo and text here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29347181/openSUSE%20brochure_v4.odt Anyone who is willing or able - let us know what changes you can make, make them, get the result to me and I'll put the updated version back on the dropbox. As soon as we have a decent version we can start translating & printing. A large change I made which I need feedback on is that I removed the app installer text to be replaced with openQA. See the document for the cool and cool++ points. Otherwise, who can update/fix our brochure? Thanks, Jos

[opensuse-artwork] Counter 12.1
by LisufasGnome3 03 Oct '11

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am one of the authors of a openSUSE wiki (dewiki) and follow the curious creation of the design for our openSUSE 12.1. I'm just curious to what design should have the counter for 12.1 then hopefully soon we can build into our wiki. We do get a counter, does not it? If only it would be nice if we include this as soon as possible to the corresponding pages (wiki, blogs, forums) could. I thank everyone involved for their hard work in preparing the designs for openSUSE 12.1 -- Grüße aus' m Schwabenland ↓ → Lisufa, der Linuxsusefan ↓ ################################## ********************************** ....::: openSUSE Member :::..... ************************************************************* Die 'SuS(i)E' sei mit euch, wo immer ihr auch seid .... *************************************************************

Here's another "draft" to chew on. This one I tried to focus on what I would want to put up, that would entice other people to check out openSUSE. And again, the package list is a large component, rendered in the QR (and yes its perfectly legible at print-quality). http://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/97434921 I leave it up to the community to decide which way this ends up.

2nd draft on my poster for the flip side of the open source calendar. This draft includes elements of the 12.1 theme, as well as evoking the choice and flexibility of openSUSE. I've always wanted to make reference to the Chameleon as a concept not just a logo, finally got that chance here. I'm still working out whether or not to do the QR thing... http://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/45811217 Thoughts? P.S. I *love* Inkscape. -- James Mason SUSE Studio Developer openSUSE Member 2925 Roeder Ave Ste 300 Bellingham, WA 98225-2065 USA +1 360.752.6707 james.mason(a)suse.com ---------- SUSE ---------- Great Minds UnITe - BrainShare 2011 - Register at novell.com/brainshare -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi Marcus, Thanks for this.. I'm not sure I like the 'grey' it fades to? can we get something in green, but with that 'brightness'? I totally understand about the whole brightness thing - finding that sweet spot can be quite hard (some of my favourite drafts were universally condemned as way too bright) I'm still going to have a go myself when I get a second (and thanks to your svg it'll be a ton easier! THANK YOU), but the day job is extending into an evening job tonight..grr database upgrades..

I agree, and feedback I've seen on irc seems to suggest jdd and I are not alone. Just a shade darker would be great I think >>> jdd <jdd(a)dodin.org> 09/30/11 09:21 AM >>> Hello, The new artwork is very nice, but it's much lighter than the last one on 11.4. So when one have the two of them on the same computer, it's very difficult to adjust the light to fit. May be it could be good to make the artwork somewhat darker? thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello, The new artwork is very nice, but it's much lighter than the last one on 11.4. So when one have the two of them on the same computer, it's very difficult to adjust the light to fit.
