== Dependencies ==
The current list of packages for inclusion is [[Design_Suite_Planning#Included|available]]. Whereas there's also one for package we [[Design_Suite_Planning#Wishtlist_of_packages|consider]], none of them should block the release of the spin.
 
We are also working on an equivalent comps group, which is a non-blocking component, though.
 
Aside from this, no other dependencies are required.
 
== Scope / Testing ==
Generally, the spin should boot and popular applications like Gimp and Inkscape should work. The nightly builds will make testing quite easier. So far, no extraordinary changes have been included.

Detailed Description

Have you ever wanted to use the tools the Fedora Design Team is using? Or are you probably even looking forward to getting involved in Fedora as a designer? This is your chance.

The Fedora Design Suite is a tool that includes well-selected applications fitting a variety of use cases whether you decide to work on publishing documents, creating images, pictures, website, basic animation or even 3D content.

What's new?

Bundled Packages

A set of packages ranged from graphics to typefaces included in the Design Suite.

Graphic group

Audio and Video group

Typeface group

Benefit to Fedora

This spin is insofar beneficial for Fedora itself, as it helps the Design Team by fitting its needs through selecting often used applications and including them on one spin. Additionally, it helps new users interested in design matters to join Fedora, since they'll be able to download the spin and start directly using the applications - without being required to look into the load of available packages. In a way, it fosters the design community inside Fedora.

Kickstart File

Latest ks file inside git repository

Nightly Builds

Nightly builds of the latest .ks file can be found at nightly compose website in either 32-bits (known as i686 architecture) or 64-bits (as x86_64).

Sometimes nightly builds fail due internal change. We are working on them! :)
