Dearadh Oscailte Abú! (Open Design Forever!)
Cyklop is a high-contrast sans-serif font. Because this font is so bold and has such high contrast, it would work well in treatments where you would like to call attention to some particular piece of information. For example, if you were designing a poster to hang up on a bulletin board and wanted to catch …
I recently got a Kodak zi8 video recorder. It works great in Fedora 12 so I was inspired to create a 15-minute video highlighting five fun things in Fedora 12. Here’s what those things are – but be sure to watch the video for more information 🙂 : #1 Cheese #2 Mana World #3 Miro …

I wanted to tell the tale of this redesign to show how we did it, together as a community, and also to give kudos to the many folks who pitched in …
