Dearadh Oscailte Abú! (Open Design Forever!)
The Fedora Design Team Bounty is a type of blog post where we’ll outline a quick-and-easy design project that needs doing for the Fedora Community, outlining all the tools, files, and other resources you’ll need to complete the project. If you’re a designer and are interested in getting involved in the free and open source …
Some scribbles from a discussion in #anaconda with dlehman where we pondered over the overall flow / navigation of the advanced partitioning screen mockups in Fedora’s installer after showing them to Spot and lmacken and uncovering some issues. Will this go anywhere? No idea. We’re working it. What might be more interesting to you at …

So I posted some quick & dirty mockups of a patch view web interface for Fedora packages, and you gave me some great ideas, and here are most of them integrated into the mockups. Full screen, Sources > Patches tab in a package profile Here you can see one of the three patches that apply …
Note: There’s a newer blog post here with more mockups and features based on your feedback in this post! Okay, quick recap. We’re working on a v2 of Fedora Community called “Fedora Packages.” The usual long-winded Mo blog post about it is available if you’d like to catch up. Now that you’ve been caught up, …
So, last time we chatted about Fedora’s installer redesign, we walked through how users would select which disks they’d like to be part of the install. Once our intrepid installer users have selected disks to install to, they should be set and the install will just work. (Okay, there’s the case where they have to …
We are making some great progress on Anaconda’s UI revamp mockups after last week’s Anaconda team meetings. Here’s the storage flow diagram, now annotated with the screen #’s from the mockups: So let’s dive into the screens as they look so far. These are hot-of-the-press and may suck, so of course we’re posting them here …
I took some time today to translate some of last week’s Anaconda whiteboards to cleaned up flow charts of the screens involved. I used Inkscape and Jesse James Garrett’s visual vocabulary templates to make these. Full screen flow diagram (click to download PDF)
Chris Macken totally rocks. He’s in the process of posting the videos he filmed at Boston Software Freedom Day 2011, with some really nice editing and titling. Above is the video of my keynote he put together. (the slides are here.) In case the embedding doesn’t work on planet, click the screenshot below for the …
David Lehman and Will Woods are in the Boston area this week so along with Chris Lumens, Peter Jones, and David Cantrell we’ve all been whiteboarding away, planning and refinement on the upcoming Anaconda UI redesign that is scheduled to land in Fedora 17.
These are just whiteboards; I’m hoping we’ll have a more detailed post after our brains cool off from the gears churning so intensely 🙂 Most of the discussion so far has been about the (opt-in) partitioning screens, and overall flow.
