| Drawing a rocket with Inkscap... | Planet Fedora | |
| Many places I go I meet people telling how much they likedgraphic tutorialsand how much they learned about using GIMP and Inkscape following theb, and this makes me feel bad, as I am quite busy lately with a lot of things (video and photography ate a lot of my time) and rarely manage to write something new. But here is a perfect opportunity, Fedora 13entered Alphaand had a code name (Goddard) and so far a visual theme based on rocketry, so it seems a tutorial titled"Drawing a rocket with Inkscape is not rocket science"would be just fit.The target here is to produce something like this, not extremely realistic but easily recognizable as a rocket and the most important, fun (hopefully) and easy to create by someone who is using Inkscape for the first time.So start Inkscape and draw a rectangle, which must be more tall than wide (we are drawing a rocket!) and have straight, not rounded corners.Then select it andconvert to path, we will do node editing.Now go innode editorand select the two top nodes. The following operation can be done (as far as I know) only from keyboard: pressCtrl + Alt +>to enlarge the segment, the result should be a trapezium with the big side up.With the same two top nodes selected,add a new nodein the middle of their segment.Select the new node (only it) andmoveit up (keep the Ctrl key pressed to limit the movement to vertical only).Select back the two nodes that were the top corners of the rectangle and make themsymmetric, for a shape starting to look like a bullet/rocket.To finish the bullet shape of the rocket body we need to make the bottom edge rounded:selectthe two bottom corners, add anew nodein the middle,selectit,movea bit up and made itsymmetric, now we have a bullet, an aerodynamic shape.A rocket needs some"wings", so we will create another rectangle, this time much smaller.Select the rectangle and click on it once, this will put in inrotate/skewmode so we need toskewit a bit my dragging on the arrow on one of its edges.Moveit in position, next to the rocket body.Again, inrotate/skewmode,rotateit a bit by dragging one of the arrows at the corners, until we like the alignment. Note: no worry if the alignment is not perfect,lowerit under the body and when filled with color this won't be noticeable.Select the wing andduplicateit.Flipthe new (duplicate) wing horizontally and move it to the other side of the rocket body (keep Ctrl pressed to limit the movement to horizontal).The wing facing us is another thinrectangle, with the same height as the other wings (technically, we should have two rectangles, one for each edge, but for now use one for simplicity). To center the new wing to the rocket body, select it and the body, then use theAlign and Distributedialog to align them horizontally relative to thebiggest item(the body).Now you know what is needed for a funny rocket? A window, so the astronauts inside can look at the space. Start by drawing acircle, which will be the windows frame (I think I am boring repeating this, but keep Ctrl pressed, so what you draw is a round circle not an ellipse).Select the circle and the rocket body andalign verticallyto the center of the body.Another smallercirclewill be the real window.Select the two circles andalignthem horizontallyandvertically.Now color the items, using either thecolor paletteat the bottom, theFill and Strokebutton in the toolbar or any of the other possible ways (there are quite a few). A rocket is usually silverish, so use shades of gray.If you want the rocket less realistic but screaming"Fedora", make those grays a bit bluish or go the extra mile and straightly use the Fedora colors (light and dark blue).Back to our rocket, let's make it fly. Take theBeziertool (pen) anddrawfreely a few spikes, they will be the flame.Colorthe flame red or a redish orange andlowerit under the rocket body.The core of the flame is supposed to be warmer, so let'sdrawa new set of smaller spikes in yellow.Optionally, if we want the rocket cruising, not just taking-off, select everything and rotate a bit.A bit of beautification never hurt, so let's make the rocket a bit more realistic (if you can call that"realistic") and less cartoon. Remove the strokes (for example using theFill and Strokedialog) and use silver gradients for all metallic surfaces, do this by using theGradienttool,draggingandeditingcolors.Fill everything withgradients, including the flames and the window.Select the inner (yellow) flame and using theFill and StrokedialogBlurit a bit for a more realistic (and prettier) look.Bluralso the outer (red/orange) flame. And that's about all.Now our rocket can take-of and fly proudly. Go to the stars and beyond them! | ||

| Fedora transparency?/kernel_r... | Planet Fedora | |
| From what I have seen inthis blog postlooks like Ubuntu has gained option to have transparent GNOME windows.I hope this feature goes upstream as fast as possible so that Fedora gets this great feature as soon as possible, maybe for Fedora 14? Anybody has some insight regarding Fedora and transparency? | ||
| Thoughts on the AlphaFree You... | Planet Fedora | |
| Technical thoughts:I installed goddard on my eeepc 900 and have some issues. Right after the first boot gnote crashed and activated the Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT). So I lol’d and started getting my WPA key put in so that I could report it. Only one problem. The ABRT window is bigger than my screen size, it cuts off just above where you can attach files. So I have no way of easily reporting the gnote bug.If that wasn’t enough I can’t update it because of a discrepancy in Open Office core versions, and for some reason yum upgrade –skip-broken isnt working, nor is trying to let the GUI update tool handle it.Non-Technical Thoughts:I was almost pissed yesterday when I saw the“official” shortened urls for linking to the Alpha yesterday. The “official” shortened urls were setup so that we (the project) could have some data on how popular this release was. My issue was the services that were used are non-free; is.gd, bit.ly, and tinyurl. I was prepared to loosemy mind and then I decided that before loosing my cool I should mention this in the mailing list. So I went through my trash folder (I’m so glad I don’t ever clear that out, it is now a personal procedure to keep all “trashed” email [and I don't worry because my hard drive is encrypted]) and replied that I was bad form for us to use non-free url shortners and let everyone know about ur1.ca and 2tu.us. No one knew these existed and it even prompted Paul Frields to edit his blog post to add them to the list.Sometimes a little checking before you fly off the handle and run your mouth on the interwebs is good. Damn this whole turning 25 and deciding I should act like an adult thingSo please tryout Goddard; see how it works for you, and please post your thoughts about it in the comments or drop a link to your thoughts if you post them else where. | ||
| fedora updates need more syst... | Planet Fedora | |
| There is a lot of discussion ongoing about how to change Fedora updates and several proposals for an update policy float around. But after I read parts of the FESCo log for the meeting last night, where an updates policy was discussed, I came to another conclusion. Fedora needs more systematic testing. There is a proposal to require at least three positive testing comments in Bodhi (aka 3 karma points) to allow testing updates to become stable. But afaics nobody prepared some statistics about what this would have meant for the previous updates, i.e. how many updates would have been pushed in the past from testint to stable with this policy enabled.And this leads to a big problem, there is no real knowledge available how well Fedora updates are covered by testing. Looking at the Bodhi metrics, it seems that there is not that much testing going on for testing updates in F11, because the top testers seemed not to improve recently, but the top testers in F12 have already provided more feedback. But even with these comments, there is no way to properly detect how well the testing of a package is covered, e.g. there was an update that was clearly broken that still got positive karma by people who thought using it in a dependent package, but this was not true. I do not want to blame them, because the non-existent dependency was not obvious, but this shows why systematic testing is important. This does not meant that everything has to be tested perfectly, but it should be at least known how well updates are tested to know how to improve it.My opinion on requiring karma for updates is, that before this is done, it should be made sure that there are enough people willing to test the updates or a automated package behaviour testing should be implemented. E.g. for every package for that a certain karma amount is required, at least one dedicated tester and several occasional testers should sign up. And the required number of the testers should reflect the number of karma points required for an update. If people want better updates in stable, they should imho contribute to testing them, even if they only spend one hour every month on it. | ||
