@duffy would love to hear your thoughts on how we should interact with the community on this, and any other thoughts on the idea... Should we take requests via a ticket early or hold a session during Nest? Thanks!

Twitter / social media banners would be an awesome thing to have, and to encourage folks to use social media during the conference.

@riecatnor @jflory7 what if we used one of those platforms where you upload your avatar / picture and it puts a frame around it? For a long time I used an Irish one for promoting the Irish language. They used Twibbon to do it:

What do you think about doing it like that? People could use the resulting image for any social media or even gravatar / etc.

Another idea I had... what if we made a game. Is bingo awful? We could have a bingo board where the squares are empty nests, and little egg icons that could be randomly placed on the board each download, and play bingo with them during a game session?

@riecatnor @duffy I love the idea and will start working on it right away!
One thing I am unclear about is the outcome of this ticket:
- what kind of file is needed? Png / svg / something else?
- where exactly where these badges go? That will greatly influence the format, i.e. how small or big they will be. We don't want to have an amazing badge that will be totally unreadable as an avatar? right?

So I guess what I am asking is technical characteristics of the resulting file =) Because if it's something like what Mo shared, that's just a teeny avatar, right?

I like the idea of having a picture on the badge, but for people who don't want one we could design a fun avatar replacement - maybe a few different birds, Fedora style.

Like this =)

Hi @mleonova cute!! I think it would be best to stick with a theme around the logo that exists for Nest to keep things coherent. Checking out twibbon, you can do a small icon, or something like a frame (see https://twibbon.com/support/orangetheworld-7 ). We could have a Fedora blue frame with the nest logo on the bottom left or right hand side. What do you think?

Hi! I made a couple variants, WDYT? I tested them with a profile pic (from my first flock!) @duffy @mleonova @jflory7 - svg attached if someone has an idea for improvement :)

@rietcatnor I think Twitter autocrops profile images into circles, so I think only part of the nest logo would be visible if the attendee used it as a twitter avatar. I like the 2nd one best with the simpler lines but wondering positionally if we want to care about Twitter cropping our not?

@duffy I was attempting to not crowd the profile pic too much . How about this? I made the one with the ring to demonstrate what will land inside for the twitter pic, not as a design to use :)

@riecatnor that looks great to me!!!

Made a couple tweaks- but here it is!
And also, I uploaded it here https://twibbon.com/Support/nest-with-fedora wdyt?

I love these profile picture templates! While this is not something I will personally use, I think others will find them fun.

For me, I still really want social media banners, like at the top of a Twitter profile (with the important details, like dates and a URL!). Doesn't have to be super personal. This way, we could update the @fedora and @fedoracommunity banners, and I would def change my personal account banners with that too. :)

Edit: In hindsight, I realize this is a different ask than what this ticket was originally about (name badges). I can open a new issue if that would help.

Hi all, I'm uploading some drafts of the bigger badge. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like I have time to finish these, so please, everyone, feel free to pick these up and make changes!

@mleonova omgosh these are adorable this is exactly what I had in mind!! Unfortunately, I ran out of energy to put together/host a session for this at Nest.

I really like the concept of a new fun interactive Fedora app. The idea would be some kind of fedora bitmoji maybe? The characters could be pandas or badgers. Some inspiration: https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/348395721154290632/ https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/16206586/

We can revisit this for next year's Nest :) Thanks @mleonova
