Interview with Mairin Duffy on Fedora 8 ArtworkInterview with Mairin Duffy on Fedora 8 ArtworkPosted Oct 10, 2007 1:20 UTC (Wed) by rahulsundaram (subscriber, #21946)In reply to: Interview with Mairin Duffy on Fedora 8 Artwork by marduk Parent article: Interview with Mairin Duffy on Fedora 8 Artwork
Some context:
One of the decisions that ruffled some feathers in Fedora 7 was the one to let a Red Hat artist designated for that work to make the final decision without being all that inclusive of many of the community members participating in that effort and Fedora 8 is a deliberate effort to avoid that. However Mairin Duffy indeed is a professional artist working for Red Hat though she leads the art team in Fedora voluntarily. I think Fedora can afford to be less "professional" than Red Hat with RHEL if it results in good artwork with community involvement which it did.
Also Fedora 8 background is actually animated and changes colors slowly to match the time of the day and there is some amount of playing with colors surrounding that which you might have gathered from the inteview and the screenshots showing different colors already but I just wanted to highlight that in case you missed it.

It is being proposed already for the next version of GNOME. So likely everyone will get it soon anyway. One of the key focuses in Fedora is to push everything we do upstream.
