Fedora 13 all set for the Rocketry Artwork

Written on December 20th, 2009 at 23:34 pm by chia

By now you would know that the next Fedora release, Fedora 13, will be named "Goddard", after the famous Rocket scientist Robert H Goddard. After deciding on the name, fedora contributors have started working on the designs, themes and other artwork for the next release. There are a few ideas in the air about Rocketry related artwork but they are also looking of other fedora users and enthusiasts to come up with their more innovative stuff.

This was actually in the lastest (206) FWN(fedora weekly news). There was some suggestion about organizing a hackfest to share and brainstorm some new ideas. I am not sure what's the theme going to be but lets hope we don't see a countdown with Rocket Fedora as the splash image (see the image above) while booting Goddard .

10, 9, 8, 7... 3, 2,1 .... Time to Login

Btw.. this pic submitted by Luya (a fedora contributor) could give you a better idea about the theme.

Well, if any one of you linuxers have idea(s) to share, you can chk out the Fedora 13 artwork page for more info ( I won't mind comments either ;) ).

Well, we are in the early stage, the concept can evolve so much that it may not resemble the initial idea at all (For F12 "Constantine" we started with Byzantine mosaics and ended with bokeh)
