Hey everyone!
Happy November :)
A blog post featuring an image of four designers with different tools used to design to create the ‘Community Design Team’ text.
Community Design Team
Finished the graphic request for the blog post that Mo is writing to introduce the Community Design Team.
The blog post will lay out the team’s goals and why it’s important to have a team of designers working on upstream projects connected to CPE.
Continuing to brainstorm ideas and next steps for the Creative Freedom Summit. Including scheduling a Garctic telephone test session, starting the presentation on ‘How Fedora Uses Krita’, and brainstorming posts for social media.
Fedora Design Team
We met today on 11/16 as always at 1:30 - 2:15 EST. Feel free to join the group to chat here! We talked about how to contribute to F38 Wallpaper, contributions to the Qemu logo ticket, the Beefy Miracle vectorizing process, and the Fedora Build system icon. I took notes during the meeting and wrote feedback that was given to post into the ticket so it didn’t get lost in the meeting’s recording.
Fedora Wallpaper 38
Created a call for art visuals and got in contact with the Marketing team to share on either Twitter or Instagram - originally I had the wrong mascot in the design but Beefy Miracle makes a great edition and hopefully is just as excited as others to get involved in Fedora 38 wallpaper.
My next step is to play around with Blender and see what I can do with the old ideas I had for a rough wallpaper.
Outreachy Icons
Epic here. Out of the 43 icons and the month of contributions from Outreachy applicants, I have around 6 icons with final designs chosen. I reviewed all 43 tickets, and now it’s just to make sure the designers are alerted their work was accepted and the tickets are updated with the final png and SVG and potentially closed. Around 4 rooms have pre-existing logos that would work best for these.
Fedora Design Wiki Transfer
Ticket here. Reached out to the CPE team to get any advice about setting up a repo with a git post-commit hook from the group’s GitLab wiki to fedora docs. We’re going to be updating the info to have the Fedora brand guidelines, tools we use, suggestions for getting engaged, and documentation of Penpot.
The next step is playing around in asciidoc to get used to it.
Misc.
This week I felt really good about staying on track, writing down daily to-dos, and checking them off. Whenever I wasn’t able to get something done on a day it was added to the next day’s list. I’m looking forward to the Outreachy results going public next week :D!
My goal for the next week is to actually complete a session of blender or asciidoc on top of other work like creating an SVG sheet for the open-source character.
Thanks, everyone! Have a great rest of your week!
