One issue that I have noticed with screen shots taken in the past is
that they tend to show off the way GNOME looks in a particular distro
with distro branding, etc. This is understandable since people taking
screenshots would likely often overlook this as a concern.
However, if we are going to put together some more formal screenshots
to use going forward, then it seems that it would be nice to either:
1) Organize screenshots taken on a variety of distros so that we are
not seen as favoring one distro over another (even unintentionally).
This might be cool since we could show off that GNOME is widely
used across many distributions, but might be more work to organize.
2) Configure the desktop so that distro specific branding is removed
before taking the screenshots, so it has more of a vanilla (or
"unbranded") look.
If we are going to do this, then it would be useful to have some
guidelines about how to go about taking screenshots for use by
upstream GNOME. Such guidelines could include infomration about how
to reset your desktop configuration to an approved neutral unbranded
state. Or do such guidelines already exist somewhere?

I'm running a fairly recent jhbuild of gnome shell of which I can
provide some screenshots on ubuntu 10.01. I'll probably need to create
a new account so I can put in a stock pic. Also I believe Florian did
some work on showing the new look on gnome-shell that I could try to merge.

Fedora Rawhide + jhbuild GNOME Shell may be the best bet at getting
anything remotely close to what it will look like but the new GTK+
theme hasn't landed and the Shell revamp hasn't either.

we could really, really use some good screenshots if anyone has
the time to take some.

Hi GNOME Marketing Team!
I received an email from the Desktop Summit 2011 team late
yesterday with an urgent request for a website they are
building targeting the press that is going up Wed. From the
email:
Could you please help out with two-three screenshots
representative for what
GNOME software is about? One for desktop form factor, one
for handheld, one
for tablet, perhaps also some demo video embedddable from
vimeo, youtube and
similar? Thanks. Idea is to give journalists some
easy-to-pick nice
pictures/videos to use in their writings
Does anyone have any ideas - screenshots (preferably of
GNOME 3.0) - I think we want to focus on GNOME Shell as that
is what will be released by the time of the Desktop Summit
next summer. Any videos on the GNOME Miro community? I
think we can just focus on the desktop - we don't have a
formal handheld or tablet experience yet.
Thanks for the help - I'll help compile anything we find
tonight and forward it on.
Paul
