Hey o/ I thought that it might be about time to start talking about plans for bullseye.
I'm just going to do a small brain dump here so feel free to add ideas to this thread then we can create a wiki page for it. 1. Testing artwork Usually during a development cycle, debian testing has the same artwork as stable, which can be really confusing to people especially when it contains a version number. Isy Simpkins has created testing artwork that we can use during testing to differentiate it from stable releases. Salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/rattusrattus/testingtheme-workinprogress Here are some screenshots where it is implemented so far, its implementation is currently a work in progress: Boot: * isolinux: https://i.imgur.com/xHOORft.png * grub: https://i.imgur.com/yp3IVjG.png (yes, that's not very readable atm but that's fixable) Calamares: * https://i.imgur.com/k9PV3XV.png * https://i.imgur.com/SibvLyh.png 2. Final bullseye artwork To maximise the amount of time available to tweak and finish off the final artwork, how about doing the wallpaper campaign drastically earlier than in previous cycles? I was thinking between February and July, choosing the final artwork at the end of July? That provides a lot of time for someone to create artwork, and when it's chosen, a lot of time for maintainers and for the artist to round everything off before freeze occurs. 3. desktop-base changes desktop-base now contains 7 themes, wouldn't it be better if the themes were separated from the destkop base package? And then ideally, desktop-base just recommends the latest theme, leaving it up to the user to install any additional themes they might want to use or try out? IMHO it would be better if the themes had their own source package, creating a binary package for every specific theme.
