KDE 6 is set to have a test week soon and I would love to have a magazine article done … This is also the same week we will be at FOSDEM and Fedora Magazine will help us get more reach.
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/pitch-kde-plasma-6-test-week-2024-01-29-through-2024-02-05/102668/1
Metadata Update from @rlengland: - Custom field publish adjusted to 2024-01-26
Metadata Update from @steiner: - Custom field image-editor adjusted to steiner
Made a special design for this one using the regular Test Days banner as a starting point.

Metadata Update from @steiner: - Issue untagged with: needs-image
This looks great @steiner but I have a couple of questions/suggestions. - Can you create these as a JPEG file instead of a PNG? - Can you size them at 1890 x 800 pixels? - Can you provide a SVG version so that they can be added to the images git repo? This lets them be reused if necessary or desired.
It would be great to conform with the previous versions of images and the "standard" that is describe in the Magazine document for creating feature images

Oh shoot, I forgot to convert the format again, didn't I? The size should be correct though. The SVG will be a bit tough though, as I made this in Krita using some screenshots as a base, but I will look further into the standards for the next time (or if I need to remake this one).
I would say let's let it go for this image and this article. Let me add, though, that your contribution is appreciated. Thank you.
I double-checked the file and yeah, for some reason the size was also wrong. I fixed a couple of minor things with the design as well:

I am in awe with the new banner... Please remove the defacto one I added and re-add this :) the draft is here https://fedoramagazine.org/?p=39682&preview=true

@sumantrom Article scheduled for 26 January. Thank you. And thank you @steiner for the artwork.
@sumantrom There was a message left on the Matrix "Fedora Magazine" channel as follows:
Hi, I just saw this: https://fedoramagazine.org/contribute-at-the-kde-plasma-6-test-week/ The author apparently forgot to mention that "This version" = RC1, so it currently gives the impression that Plasma 6 was already released
Would you like this clarified in the article?
