Fedora 37 Lift Off

Hey everyone!

The Fedora 37 Wallpaper process is starting up! The inspiration for Fedora 37 will start with the letter L.

We choose 4-5 scientists, engineers, designers, and inventors whose last name starts with L. The four esteemed people we will be deciding between will include Barbara Liskov, Jim Lovell, Lewis Latimer, and Edwin Land.

The process of the wallpaper will be documented here on pagure.

Each candidate has many potential visuals to inspire the wallpaper. We encourage you to share any visual ideas based on their history and inventions in the ticket to encourage some creative brainstorming.

The poll will be posted soon so keep an eye out!

Ooo - I like this one!

I’m a big fan of going with Jim Lovell just so I can make all of the Apollo 13 references. It’s one of my favorite films.

I wonder if we could possibly add Ada Lovelace to the list?

Yep, gives a better gender balance too. I was also going to suggest Hedy Lamarr (known for frequency hopping) for similar gender balance reasons.
