KDE: F8 Werewolf's Ksplash mockups

Following the discussion with Rex and Kevin on #fedora-kde(on F8 ksplash), here are the constraints:
  • have a proper color gradient from the splash_top to splash active/inactive bar
  • the actual inactive/active bar is with echo icons but fedora's kde uses crystal icons by default
  • not enough time before F8
  • My two mockups of F8 Werewolf's kplash mockups:
    Which one do you prefer ?

    Aliening FEL RPM packages to DEB

    Gabriel Augusto Ordónez is a
  • Electrical Engineering student from Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Bogotá-Colombia South América)
  • Linux enthusiast and a
  • debian GNU linux user.

  • He tried Fedora Electronic Lab live cd and saw that this fedora version has several electronic packages which was useful to him.

    He defined "the Fedora Electronic Laboratory" as a "great great project". Unfortunately, debian
  • rejected alliance's inclusion in their repositories,
  • doesn't have other simulation tools or standard cells, or
  • has old versions of those simulation tools.

    Since Debian uses .deb, Gabriel is using "Alien" to convert the FEL rpm packages in .deb one by one. He is concerned about compatibility problems between fedora and debian.

    Thereby, I'm calling to contributors of other distributions to package FEL packages for their distributions, thus making their users' life easier. Gabriel is a brave guy and has enough patience, others don't.

    JulienBoucaron was synchronizing his Ubuntu alliance deb package with that of Fedora's. He even requested a package review for Ubuntu MOTU Science, but the package review didn't go far.

    FEL - Fabless Semiconductor business model

    You don't have financial strength to invest in building your own foundry in order to fabricate your chips?
    You are opting for a fabless business model for trial (focusing on design and outsourcing the actual manufacturing) ?

    The Fedora Project proposes a free fabless semiconductor business model for your needs, thus allowing you to stay focused on cutting-edge design, and not invest in manufacturing.

    With the "Fedora Electronic Lab" along with its RPM package management, any electronic engineer can deploy his/her VLSI simulation environment quickly and easily. You will have tools for RTL simulation, place & route, timing closure up to digital physical design. In addition, 7 opensource technology libraries are available with a feature size up to 0.13µm.
    You are free to decide whether your design process will be either top-secret or open to the world. However the simulation tools will be free. Processes can be modified and created graphically (if desired).

    Extensive work was done to provide enough interfaces useful for your automated configuration scripts (e.g Makefiles).

    On the Fedora Electronic Lab livecd, you will benefit from the KDE desktop environment in terms of
  • Project implementation tracking capabilities
  • Visibility to assigned tasks, resources and issues

  • The Fedora Repositories entail a wide range of applications with graphical means to manage all aspects of data flow throughout an enterprise in a highly efficient manner.

    KDE: d3lphin replacing dolphin

    Those who have installed dolphin on their fedora in the past, will notice among their updates:
    Installing:
    d3lphin i386 0.9.2-2.fc7 updates 1.3 M
    replacing dolphin.i386 0.8.2-2.fc7

    dolphin has been replaced by d3lphin on FC6 and F-7.

    dolphin-0.8.2 (dolphin kde3 branch) is unmaintained.
    d3lphin is a fork of dolphin which includes some minor improvements and fixed some bigger annoyances.

    Livecd for Fedora Electronic Lab

    Following the discussion on Fedora Electronic Lab on the Fedora development mailing list, I've started creating a livecd for Fedora Electronic Lab this weekend.

    Well a few hours ago, livecd-creator ended with a 691 MB image (built from yesterday's rawhide). It looks great, while my previous trials exceeded 750 MB. That reminds me of kadischi.

    Firefox and its dependencies are pulled up. So in this live image, firefox is present. Hopefully soon the directory ownership on its dependencies such zenity might be fixed, thus making room for more applications. Possibly by then, gspiceui and gwave would be on the live image.

    Two additional things this live image would have by default:
    1. keyboard switch applet on kicker. (I have 2 laptops with 2 different keyboard layouts - fr and de. Believe me I know what's its like when "us" keyboard layout is by default. I believe this will encourage more users to try the demos from alliance or magic on the livecd and save their data on their usb sticks.)
    2. "keep all below" and "keep all above" buttons on the window decorator.

    Simply while using graal, xsch and dreal (from alliance), your desktop will be full with windows. Layout editing will be a pain in the neck as one have to keep on shifting windows as you can see in the following screenshot. Having those two buttons will ease the load of stress one might have.


    Some work still need to be done in terms of failed services (nscd and avahi till now) upon boot. I haven't yet tested the Jeremy's fix for rhgb yet. Currently, there is a live image built going on, while I'm writing. Once it's completed I'll post the kickstart file for comments from those on the fedora livecd mailing lists.

    Ah yes, I know there was discussions like "whether fedora livecds have gcc on it or not" in the past. Due to lack of space gcc wasn't included. But on the Fedora Electronic Lab live image gcc will be present.
