hi Guys,
I already began to download a working copy of The CentOS Artwork Repository with the intention of committing up the changes I've been working on through these last 3 years and this way, put in place all the information you need to test, verify and validate the work. I'm using a slow commutated connection with an average speed of 5KB/s but things are going on. I think the new directory structure should be online to the end of this month, if everything goes as planned so far.
The CentOS Artwork Repository has changed significantly from that version currently online to that one I pretend to share this month. The directory structure currently online suffered significant changes as to be completely replaced. A preview of the new directory structure I want to share is in the following file:
http://wiki.centos.org/AlainRegueraDelgado?action=AttachFile&do=get&...
I would like to know what do we do with the old directory structure currently available online (https://projects.centos.org/svn/artwork/)? Do we remove it completely in the sake of the new one, or do we preserve it in some other place (maybe under tags/)? ...
Once all the information be online and ready to be used, my plan is to update the wiki page (http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork) to introduce the changes and the steps you need to follow in order to test the new directory structure of The CentOS Artwork Repository. This info might probably answer some of the questions laying around.
Best Regards,

That sounds great! Is there anything that we can do to help with that 5KB/s situation ?

yeah, tag it away. Also, if you are doing a lot of your work offline, have you considered git-svn ?

That sounds good. We are starting to redo the website and the content under there as well, so we might be able to use some of the Artwork things already done by you.

Being patience, if it is not much to ask. I don't think I could find something faster by now. This connection is very expensive and hard to maintain where I'm living at.

Nice. Most of my attention now is focused on centos-art.sh script and its documentation. However, there are already some artistic motifs inside the repository that could be useful.
It would be very convenient (in the sake of automation) if you could define all the images we need to re-brand or update, for each visual manifestation The CentOS Project is made of (e.g., Distributions, Websites, Promotions, etc.) in order to define their models inside the repository. Later, based on such models, graphic designers could create the artistic motifs that are applied to such models. The funny think here is that you can create several models and several artistic motifs and then apply them one another as you need. Everything is done with the centos-art.sh script which uses the directory structure that is being uploaded to https://projects.centos.org/svn/artwork/trunk/.
I would like to inform that the http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork page was updated with some of these ideas and would appreciate if you check it and fix it as long as needed.
Best Regards,

Karan,
I was thinking a bit more about your kind proposition of help.
I don't see any possible way in Cuba of having a higher connection speed from home right now, but you (and others) could help me to maintain the one I am able to use by sending monetary donations to my Caribbean Transfer debit card through www.cash2cuban.com or www.caribbeantransfers.com web sites.
The how to donate information could be added to my personal wiki page so everyone knows how to proceed on donations.
For the matter of numbers, consider that 60 hours of a full Internet commutated connection with 5KB of average speed is available for foreign people only, at a cost of 50 CUC (see http://home.enet.cu/informaciones/tarifas.htm) per moth. However, because I'm Cuban not a foreign person, I cannot buy myself the Internet account directly to the ISP[1] and need to pay it through a foreign people whom may charge between 40 and 70 CUC of additional cost for it[2]. Thus, the final cost for this sort of connection is found between 90 and 120 CUC a month.
Karan, thank you so much for interesting in this.
[1]: This is a politic of ETECSA (www.etecsa.cu), the ISP of Cuba. [2]: This depends of the foreign person you find. Specially, if there are several persons between the foreign person whom buy the account to the ISP and the person whom sell the account to you.
