[Mageia-artwork] 2011/week 8 review

Wed Feb 23 13:05:24 CET 2011

Hi there,
+
+to prepare this evening meeting (18:00 UTC), here's a list:
+
+1. Logo
+ - Alexander, could you make a summary of the progress about the logo?
+we had a list of small experiment/changes to do at the last meeting
+IIRC (http://meetbot.mageia.org/mageia-artwork/2011/mageia-artwork.2011-02-02-18.06.html
+)
+ - we need to sort out a list of predefined formats of it (jpg, png,
+vectorial; sizes) for: websites, print, banners, buttons; cauldron
+alone or not;
+ - I need to sort out the rights exclusive delegation to mageia.org
+for the association; Olivier, I did not forget you, I just have to
+sort out the draft document :-)
+ - we still have the community/derivate logo question pending, but
+let's focus on the official stuff first maybe.
+
+2. Colour scheme
+ - the discussion stalled about it; what do we do?
+
+3. Favicon
+ - we need favicon(s) for Mageia.org websites;
+ - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon
+ - 16x16 or 32x32, 32bits resolution possible, .ico and .png
+ - not sure about other touch devices, but iP* stuff use 57x and 129x
+sizes for icons; it could be nice to have too, although it would make
+sense to have more refined/custom icons per website/app then (forum,
+bugzilla, blog, www, etc.); so let's just keep this in mind for now;
+
+4. Guidelines
+ - for the logo, derivative logo, for the colour scheme, we'll need a
+set of strict guidelines (for ourselves first, and for
+community/communication/etc. uses as well).
+ - I'll post wiki pages to store these drafts, with structure, before
+the meeting
+
+5. Alpha review, target of March 15th
+ - so we've got some feedback about alpha1 already and there's some
+work left! :-)
+ - did anyone keep a list of notes about the alpha1? if so, we could
+post this to http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=artwork:mageia_1_alpha_1_review
+(not created page yet)
+ - alpha2 is expected on March 15th, and packages for that should be
+ready for March 12th then; that leaves 16 days
+ - areas to particularly work on (and possibly have squared) are:
+   - boot sequence (most feedback up to now is more about readability
+and consistence in the screens)
+   - installer (some files to fix, colour scheme as well)
+   - backgrounds
+   - screensavers (seem ok)
+   - splash screens
+   - others?
+ - Alexander, will you have some time in the coming days for the
+boot/install sequence? (we'll need to sort out exactly the changes to
+be done, I hope we can do this by this week end)
+ - who wants to check the installer screens? (capture all, highlight
+what should be fixed)
+ - who wants to check alpha1 about splash screens, buttons, icons,
+whatever that would still have MDV pattern on it?
+
+6. Team org
+ - we need to grow the team a bit
+ - I suggest we set up more formally the team, up to the final release
+of June (and change things in the meantime if it makes sense)
+ - what do you think about setting up the team peers this evening (and
+trying after alpha2 to define a light mentoring path for newcomers +
+contributing guide?)
+ - I candidate to take the intermediate lead of the team but I need a
+deputy leader (that is, someone to second, and to be available on
+Mondays evening for the Council meeting and regularly online as well)
+- as said above, this would lead to team elections in June (and I
+expect not to be candidate then)
+ - who wants to candidate?
+ - what do you think?
+
+Cheers,
+
+--
+Romain
