Artwork

In this section, we cover the Fedora Artwork Project[1].

Goodbye Fedora-art, Welcome Fedora-design

Máirín Duffy announced[1] a major rebranding: "we are going to rebrand ourselves as the Fedora Design team rather than the Fedora Art team, both in hopes of attracting more UX designers, and also since it's a more accurate representation of the team so folks needing help with UI design will know where to go." The change involves modification in the mailing list, IRC channel, the Fedora Account System and awesome new functionality, shared file storage "This means rather than painfully uploading your work file-by-file to the wiki, you can just drag and drop files in batches to the shared directory and link to the top level or individual files from the wiki [...] This way, other folks on the design team can collaborate and upload their improvements and remixes to the same place so we don't have files for the same project all over the place."

Statistics Poster

Steven Moix asked[1] of @fedora-design about an updated statistic poster[2] "Could someone have a look at the Statistics Poster to update it to 4F standards and update it with recent statistics?", request quickly accomplished[3]Paul Frields "It was very easy to do, thanks to the way it was created -- whoever you are, thank you very much!" (as discovered later<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2009-May/000049.html</a>, it was developed by Dimitris Glezos and Máirín Duffy)
