Debian sid and etch artwork.
[ Unfortunately the cross-posting is necessary, but hopefully after a online meeting we will have a separated mailing list ] I would like to discuss with you the Debian sid and etch artwork infrastructure and after that the artwork itself. The plan is organize a online meeting, but we can kick off it here and define our agenda. The current status (fixes are welcome): - kdm theme and kde splash and wallpaper are maintained only by pkg-kde team and in their svn repository; - gdm theme is maintained in gdm by Ryan Murray, gdm splash is in gnome-session and wallpaper in desktop-base (splash is in desktop-base too but unused atm); - xfce splash and wallpaper are maintained only by pkg-xfce team and in their svn repository; What i think would be good (suggestions, please): - Move desktop-base to a "neutral" svn repository (eg: debian-desktop group in alioth); - Give commit access to at least two members of pkg-kde, pkg-gnome and pkg-xfce and rmurray in that "neutral" repository; - Ask artists to work on a common wallpaper for Sid and Etch and three different splash images and add these images in desktop-base; - Ask artists to work on gdm and kdm themes based on the common wallpapers; - Prepare desktop-base to build the kdm and gdm themes; - Prepare desktop-base to let us change from Sid->Etch themes and wallpapers with a simple change and single upload (alternatives?); - Upload the new desktop-base; - Change gdm, kdm, kde and xfce to point to the new images in desktop-base and desktop-base built binaries; Related wiki article: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianDesktopArtwork I think in a online meeting we can discuss the details, who will do what and define some more stuff like icon themes and all that.

Yeah, I guess we should setup some alioth project + mailing list, and maybe an irc channel (#debian-desktop ?) I've received some feedback off-lists, and i think we can do this in #debian-meeting @ irc.oftc.net. date and time to be announced really soon, but the plan is follow the debian-installer procedure if nobody tell us otherwise. (...) > - Ask artists to work on a common wallpaper for Sid and Etch and three > different splash images and add these images in desktop-base; I don't really know if we should have one common wallpaper for all environnments. If we had a common template with (for example) the logo of each environmment, wouldn't it be better ? I think that minor changes wouldn't hurt yes, but keep in mind that instead two images (etch and sid) we will start with six wallpapers. I don't really care if the size is sane, the artwork looks good and we've rules for the following changes. > - Ask artists to work on gdm and kdm themes based on the common wallpapers; agreed I would like to point out that this is based as in 'following the guidelines' and not really looking like the wallpapers as Joss pointed out on irc.

Yeah, I guess we should find some time to discuss this, but I don't really know who is online at the moment and when do we have free-time. There are currently 3 greatly implicated members in pkg-xfce (Emanuele Rocca, Simon Huggins and me, with some other members which may be happy to participate). For the schedule, we are all three of us from Europe (but ema is in holidays :) ) That would be good if at least you and Simon show up in the meeting then. pkg-kde and Ryan, thoughts about the subject? It seems that pkg-xfce and pkg-gnome agree with the meeting for further discussions. Could you confirm too? thanks, -- stratus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The agenda is: * How we're handling login screen, wallpapers and splash screens * Template images for login screens, wallpapers and splash screens * desktop-base or multiple source packages * Roadmap for Etch and Etch+1 Who is welcome ? * pkg-gnome, pkg-xfce, pkg-kde and others desktop environments maintainers * gdm, *dm maintainers * Please note that we don't need to meet with a lot of artists at this moment, since we will discuss the teams relationship and infrastructure for a better artwork * Joey Hess Updated information at: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianDesktopArtwork This is intentionally out of debian-devel-announce. It could be a flop with trolls in our first online meeting to discuss the subject. Btw, i would like to hear confirmation from at least two members of each desktop environment group, feel free to send the answer only to me to avoid more cross-posting. :-) regards, -- stratus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
