Achievements ● YaST Icons (me and Noah Davis) ● Branding for the distro (with a lot of community help) ● Everything else

Logo ● Sharing logo with SUSE is not a great way for openSUSE to stand out (let’s ignore the name topic for now) ● I can’t modify the logo on Wikipedia page, which has white background in the eye, so let’s change the entire logo for this reason

Slide 7

Distribution logos ● Don’t fit too well next to each other, look at main site and software-o-o ● Are in wildly different visual styles ● Tumbleweed in particular doesn’t fit basic shapes (like circle and square) without being too small

Colours ● openSUSE Green and Cyan are not great background colours for white text (2.39 and 2.41 contrast ratios respectively) ● Distribution logos shouldn’t have the same colour as the main logo, it would indicate default (looking at you Leap) ● Very limited palette

Feedback Feedback and suggestions wanted in branding repo issue #93

Slide 13

Slide 13 text

Branding too modern ● openSUSE branding that was universally liked was focused around nature ● Recent branding started including architecture and human made objects like lightbulbs

Slide 14

Slide 14 text

Merchandise ● Current designs focus mainly around the logo ● Nothing particularly stylish, that could be a daily wear outside of being an ad

Slide 15

Slide 15 text

Software usability discussions ● YaST needs some serious help ● Installation is not that clear ● Partitioner is in a sorrow state

This starts off tough

So let’s not start here Community consists of people that know what they want, let’s mock everything up, decide what widgets we need and then start implementing stuff properly when we know what and where we need stuff exactly

Issues with the second view ● Duplication of and differences in information between main page and wikis ● Very limited subset of projects openSUSE actively maintains

Slide 25

Let’s do news It’s a good addition to the site, makes it way more informative about current state of the openSUSE Project

Slide 26

Expanding the ideas ● More focus on the community ● More focus on ways to contribute ● More focus on developed projects ● More mores

Slide 27

And then software-o-o ● Distribution aren’t really that well explained, there are no screenshots, no descriptions, nothing
