Dearadh Oscailte Abú! (Open Design Forever!)
Thanks to everybody who helped me out with the poster design here in my blog and in fedora-marketing-list. I think this cut is pretty good so if you are willing to translate the poster into another language or if you would simply like to have it printed up, it’s ready now: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/MarketingCollateral
Well, due to popular demand, I decided to try my hand at creating a screencast tutorial on how to make the sulphur crystals I made for some of the F9 theme mockups and F9 alpha banners. I hope you enjoy it, let me know if you have any questions about it. I created the video …
Hello! So, Joerg Simon pointed out to me that we have a need for general-purpose, reusable designs for Fedora posters that can be used at many different events / during different releases of Fedora (so no event-specific release-specific feature-specific etc. notes on them.)

I disappeared for a while; I was in Ireland for the past week or so and unfortunately didn’t have any internet access. I have a huge backlog of emails and such to go through so if I haven’t gotten back to you by the end of this weekend please feel free to re-ping me!

Jason Kottke emailed me today to let me know he opened up his Silkscreen Font under the Open Font License today, and also uploaded it to the Open Font Library. The font only has Latin characters, but it’s a cool font because it’s usable in extremely small applications where other fonts aren’t legible at that …
