Reimagining the Fedora Art Team
Following a talk on the chat channel, Máirín Duffy proposed[1] on @fedora-art a reimagining of the Art Team, as a better way to define the activities encompassed by its members "The Fedora Art Team's name and focus is more on artwork than UI design. Folks in Fedora who need help with UI design or potential contributors who want to help out with UI design might not necessarily link those kinds of tasks to an art team so they might be a bit lost. What if we renamed the art team to be the 'Fedora Design & Creative Team,' and the art team as it is now would be a subgroup of this new design team? Under a 'design' banner, it might be easier for developers seeking out UI design advice to know where to go, and for community UI designers to find a home / a place to get involved." The proposal was welcomed warmly, with only a minor technical concern[2] from Ian Weller "Only thing I'm worried about is renaming all the references to the Art team that we control, but, eh, whatever."

OLPC Branding
An earlier project of the Art Team, reported back at the time in Fedora Weekly News, to create a secondary mark for Fedora derivatives came to fruition: OLPC has started to use it for Sugar and Paul Frields asked[1] for a guidelines compliance check on @fedora-art and Máirín Duffy approved[2] it. This is the first known use of the secondary trademark.

A Fedora Promo Video (Beta)
María Leandro posted[1] on @fedora-art a video experiment she's working on "I'm working on some videos that can be used on events or some clips. This is the first beta (well... 2nd) and is an easy animation on blender with the 'infinite' and the 'four f's' messages. The idea came up because in LatinAmerica there's an event, FLISoL (installfest) and it was a good idea to have 'something' on the big screen when the Fedora-Team is giving some information, media and stickers" and followed quickly[2] with an improved version. WARNING: the video[3] is available in the "evil" Flash format.
