It's still early in its overall development, but I think this is
something that we should definitely look into.

Very cool potential and I'll probably be trying out a design for Fedora.

Hey design team,

This email is the result of me just wandering around addons.mozilla.org
for a while looking for anything interesting. I'm curious if you've
seen these Fedora-related personas for Firefox.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=fedora&cat=personas&appid=1&pp=5

Couple of thoughts:

(1) It might be cool for the Fedora Design Team to make some official
ones for either different versions and/or spins of Fedora.

(2) There might be some recruiting fodder in here, to invite some of
these designers to join the team. The information below is what I found
on Google:

http://www.getpersonas.com/gallery/designer/pshevtsov -- has written in
to Ask Fedora a few times in Fedora Weekly News.

http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/designer/dfragnul -- couldn't
really find anything.

http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/designer/magjogui -- already a
Fedora contributor (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Magjogui) and on
the Cc.

http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/Designer/Kenshin__ -- the page
says "Open-source Artworker"

http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/gallery/designer/marvin5700 -- Google
doesn't actually show much.

Gotta love the internets.

Definitely agree on that one. We may port the current wallpaper from
Fedora 12 in this current Firefox 3.5.7.
Firefox 3.6 just came out which is suitable for Fedora 13 theme unless
maintainer decide to bring it on F12.

While I see no problem with stamping such a skin as "official", I want
to make my voice heard against just in the cases someone propose
shipping the default browser pre-configured to look like that: it would
be a *bad thing*, a violation of the GNOME HiG and an inconsistency in
the desktop.

Hi !I received a mail from the fedora-fr forum about this topic speaking about Fedora's Firefox Personas. I'm one of these artworkers, and I designed the Personas "Fedora-fr". I'll be glad to help the Fedora Artwork Team.

About me, I'm a 19 years old french Fedora lover, and my skills with Gimp are very limited...but I would like to be better. Let's visit my website and/or my Twitter account :

See you.

Sebastien Natroll.

Nice to hear you want to become a contributor

Playing with the graphics is an excellent way to learn.

Speaking about Personas, as I am still on FF 3.5 from F12, and wanting
to understand more what they are about I did a read on
http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/demo_create

Is correct my assumption the Personas Max pointed about earlier are
pretty much crops from the wallpapers?

You make a good point Nicu. Are you interested instead in reaching
out to some of those theme-makers, to see if they'd like to get
involved in other aspects of the Design Team?

I agree.

arstechnica had it about right: "...to boldly go where no user interface
ever should"

From the existing Firefox Personas images (according with the data
provided by Max), only Sebastien (Kenshin) did *some* amount of original
work and he already joined the list. The other themes are just some
basic crop from an existing image (and I don't want to go there, but is
use of our CC-BY-SA work without attribution).
