Hey everybody! Thanks for another great meeting! Here's the minutes: Minutes: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2010-10-19/fedora-design.2010-10-19-19.01.html Minutes (text): http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2010-10-19/fedora-design.2010-10-19-19.01.txt Log: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2010-10-19/fedora-design.2010-10-19-19.01.log.html Mo Summary: Fedora 14 Release Party Poster - Emichan showed us her draft and already has posted an updated version based on feedback given during the meeting: http://emichan.fedorapeople.org/release_14.png http://emichan.fedorapeople.org/release_14.svg - We also talked about reconfiguring the release party poster design to fulfill ticket https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/164 and Emichan is going to work on it Fedora 14 misc - We have been kicking butt and taking numbers as a team this past release. We have 3 ninjas doing awesome work, Alexander did great work on the countdown banners, Alexander and Marc also did great work on the disc/sleeve artwork, Emichan rocked the release poster, Martin put together the animated backgrounds files in time for release, and Fab and pretty much the whole team got our first supplemental wallpapers pack together and it looks awesome. We also have three new members in the past month, Bryan, Felipe, and dottedfish. - We did have an issue with the size of the animated wallpapers causing some issues so it won't be set as default. One idea we discussed was maybe trying for a partially-transparent wallpaper for F15, and doing the time of day via gradient switches underneath. However, the slideshow XML format doesn't support this. Now might be a good time to put in for an RFE? One thing tho is GNOME 3 is going to be default for F15, so I'm not sure if slideshows will be supported then. RPG - Mizmo was really bad and failed at putting a formal meeting together, will try again next week. - Nicu put together a nice starter requirements document for the RPG widget: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-October/003411.html - We went through the document and came up with some ideas: - the RPG username should be pulled from the FAS IRC nick field. It's user-editable in FAS - the example here was mizmo's FAS name is duffy, but people know her better as mizmo, and the FAS name is not editable but IRC nick is. - Pantless avatars are okay because the base characters will be pandas! - We're going to keep this simple to start and stick with 5-6 base panda variations and build out from there. - We had some great outfit ideas such as a 3-piece suite monocle panda, panda in a pretty dress, ninja panda, panda in overalls, panda with a zony T-shirt, panda with wings accessory - Some examples for inspiration we looked at included Sims 3, avatar.yahoo.com, avatar.yahoo.co.jp, the playstation network widgets (http://fp.profiles.us.playstation.com/playstation/psn/pid/mairin.png) - Subtle animation might be cool for the characters but nothing over the top like this http://k.yimg.jp/images/avt12/anm_newcoordinate1_20101013_1f806580.gif - we thought 120 x 120px like the hackergotchi would be a good size to start - each object should be available for each object, having objects apply only to certain avatars will complicated the system so we should avoid it OTHER STUFF - Dave reminded us that Libre Graphics Magazine didn't get Fedora submissions for issue 1 but can take them for issue 2. One idea was for Mizmo to interview Emichan, another was for Mizmo to write something about teaching Girl Scouts Gimp & Inkscape! - We worked with Felipe (WaspStung) and dottedfish and hooked them up with tasks from the Design Team queue. WaspStung will be working on a Lekhonee logo and dottedfish will be working on a Fedora podcast logo. ~m _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
