Theme Song

Subodh Bhagat proposed a new artistic initiative: a Fedora theme song. Subodh asked: "Do we have something like a theme song for fedora? Either lyrics or a composition?" The intitiative was saluted by Konstantinos Antonakoglou: "Sounds great! I got some music skills (compose and play) too", Henrik Heigl: "I also think of ideas like a contest", Paul Frields: "I think song in general is a great idea. I'm a musician myself and an appreciator of songwriters", and Keiran Smith all of whom have experience in the field.

Artwork for the Beta Release

In preparation for the upcoming Beta release, Paolo Leoni started the work on a website banner by proposing two graphic concepts, a generic one and another based on the graphics for the Beta wallpaper image "The first is a non-themed version, while the second uses a part of Mo's wallpaper mockup." The general opinion was favourable to the themed version and after a few iterations, Máirí­n Duffy concluded with a final version, a graphic which all the Fedora enthusiast are invited to use on their blogs.

On a related note, Paul Frields reviewed the Art's Team release tasks and produced a short list "the listed splashes, headers and other art scheduled for March 27 includes" to check the status "Is the listed date of March 27 enough time to produce these various derivations?"
