Hi,<br>
<br>
Any chance we can get this background image for beta3 later today?<br>

and have a question about the background image and sleeves.<br>
<br>
We have the FOSSGIS conference in march and are going to use<br>
OSGeo-Live in the workshops and we will give the DVD to the<br>
participants of the conference.<br>
excellent, that's its purpose in life!<br>
<br>
People from the orga team created a desktop image and are<br>
going to create an image for the dvd cover too.<br>
<br>
I commited the first draft of the background image to the<br>
svn [2].<br>
note that the graphic there says "5.0" not "5.5"<br>
Thanks for the info. I did not notice that.<br>
<br>
My suggestion was to make the image a bit more pale to see<br>
the desktop links better.<br>
in the artwork/ dir you will see background.xcf.bz2.<br>
<br>
If you open that in GIMP and look at the layer list you'll see<br>
a white and black overlay layer. Make one or the other visible<br>
and adjust the opacity level to suit. (GIMP can open .gz or .bz2<br>
directly without having to un-zip it first)<br>
<br>
n.b.: please run 'optipng -o5 filename.png' before uploading.<br>
For really huge .psd and .xcf image data (eg there's a 60mb image<br>
file in there) /please/ bzip2 them before upload, or consider<br>
another place (like flickr) and commit a text file with the link.<br>
huge binary files clog up the Subversion DB backups!<br>
ok, I try that out.<br>
<br>
And sorry for blowing up the svn with the image. I will keep an eye on this in the future.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
We could take a version without the FOSSGIS logo and the<br>
building for the official version. What do you think?<br>
I'm mostly fine with whatever choice is made, as long as it is<br>
not too day-glow fluorescent and the left side is not too busy<br>
so the icons gets lost in the clutter.<br>
<br>
<br>
Cameron:<br>
One thing I'm going to strongly push for is that we have one<br>
generic background image for each release, rather create a<br>
different image for each conference.<br>
personally I feel that each conference committee should make<br>
it be whatever they like it to be, and a conference-themed<br>
backdrop is a very nice touch to remember it by. If they're<br>
paying the bill for the print run = their choice to do as they<br>
please, not ours.. (but if 3rd parties want something custom<br>
they'll have to contribute that work themselves of course)<br>
<br>
I think it would be highly odd for "FOSS4G 2012 Beijing" not<br>
to have its own backdrop image if they wanted one. Ideally<br>
the conference committee should supply it, and we should give<br>
them good lead time to decide on a design and prepare it (or<br>
have it prepared).<br>
<br>
<br>
This is because in the past, the effort required to change the<br>
background image, rebuild the ISO, then retest everything,<br>
turned out to be much more work that you would expect for such<br>
a small change.<br>
over-copying the one file:<br>
/usr/share/xfce4/backdrops/<u></u>osgeo-desktop.png<br>
is a very simple task and does not require recertifying the<br>
entire build from scratch. AFAIU if nothing else has changed,<br>
the final ISO build either works or it doesn't. (with a suitable<br>
number of fingers and toes crossed for good luck)<br>
<br>
Would be nice to have our own background image for the FOSSGIS and also would be great to use this image without the FOSSGIS stuff for the official OSGeo-Live design. We could save work.<br>
