We don't get the sources for logos (for debranding reasons), and that was true for c7 too.
That's understandable. However, one may wonder where to take the GA redhat-logos SRPM to start the rebranding process of GA centos-logos SRPM? Should it be based on the beta version of it?
But we had our own centos-logos in git, and I see that Johnny already pushed your mods there :
https://git.centos.org/rpms/centos-logos/blob/c8/f/SPECS/centos-logos.spec#_...
Nices :) Thanks Johnny! I am looking right into it.
My proposal would be (if that's fine for you) :
- push some mock-ups/files, everything related to Artwork to
Here, should I use the lookaside_upload script from centos-git-common to upload binary files (e.g., images in PNG format), or just push them directly to it? I already pushed background images in PNG format but later reading the wiki page related to Sources found that no binary file should be uploaded to git.centos.org.
- for rpm packages, like centos-logos or centos-indexhtml, you can
(as sig-artwork lead) already push to specific branch, so you can already push with your user to c8-sig-artwork branch
That's exciting! There are some corrections I already would like to share.
From that point, you can ask PR (have to verify if one can open a PR against a specific branch, c8 in this case, as it *can't* be master) and Johnny can merge it, or just ask Johnny do it "manually" by "git checkout c8, git merge c8-sig-artwork, git push" :)
Would that kind of framework work for you ?
Yes. I found impressive the way you are separating binary files from plain-text files, to produce SRPMs right away, locally. It is a new way of doing things to me and need to reorganize a bit what I have to adapt it but that's just fine :)
Also, adding other people to sig-artwork group would be great for this ;-)
Well, there is nothing I want more than this. Soon I have work vacations and there are forces inside me pulling hard to update the wiki so to better describe the process of producing artwork for CentOS and hopefully help others to get involved. People don't have to be experts, nor fine art professional (although that's fine if they do ;) to propose artwork for CentOS, only have the intention of doing something for it and share it.
PS : thanks a *lot* for all the c8 artwork you've already worked on ! Awesome job ! :-)
Thanks Fabian! It is motivating to hear your positive feedback. Also to see how the work and effort driven inside the community is being considered by community leaders. I am glad to see how our corporate message is being honored:
The CentOS Project strongly believes that the power of an open source project is in the community. If the community gets broken, the project loses its fundamental reason-for-being. Code alone does not make open source, and community is made through people treating each other with respect.
Best regards,
