Fedora Linux 40 wallpaper talk: Unveiling the art of Open Source and nature

June 13, 2024 / madelinepeck / Comments Off

The Fedora Linux wallpaper is always on such a journey 😄. You can explore the creative process behind Fedora wallpapers in my previous F36 blog post.

As I write this, Fedora Linux 40 is live, and being the big four-zero the other Fedora Design Team members and I thought we should do something special. Instead of drawing inspiration from a historical STEM figure with an O last name, we opted for the word “Open” (which conveniently also starts with O!).

We always create a mind map to brainstorm different ways of interpreting the theme we could go with.

Introducing the Community Design Team (Part 1)

November 24, 2022 / Máirín Duffy / Comments Off

This is the first part of a two-part blog post series introducing the Community Design Team (CDT) to the Fedora Community. In this post, we’ll introduce you to all of the wonderful team members and the projects they’ve been working on. In Part 2, we’ll explain how you can reach our team, make a request, and work with us!

Many of you have already been collaborating with CDT members for months now on various upstream community projects such as the Fedora Websites Revamp, the new Fedora Brand Book, the Fedora 37 artwork, and Podman’s new Podman Desktop tool. Since we formed the team, we’ve set up regular meetings, chosen our initial project set, and created a space on Fedora’s GitLab to organize our work. Now that we’ve settled in a bit and better understand how we collaborate best, we’d like to formally introduce ourselves to you as a team!

Anaconda is getting a new suit and a wizard

April 5, 2022 / lclay2b / 15 Comments

In January, we published “Anaconda is getting a new suit” to let you know that we’re looking to modernize and improve Anaconda’s user experience. Before starting the redesign work for the Anaconda installer, the team reviewed user feedback and usability study data that we’ve gathered over the years.
