    <para>The CentOS Artwork Repository started at 

    url="mailto:centos-devel@centos.org">CentOS Developers mailing

    list</ulink> during a discussion about how to automate the slide

    images of Anaconda. In such discussion, Ralph Angenendt rose up

    his hand to ask: Do you have something to show?</para>

    <para>To answer the question, Alain Reguera Delgado suggested a

    bash script which combined SVG and SED files in order to produce

    PNG images in different languages —together with the

    proposition of creating a Subversion repository where translations

    and image production could be distributed inside The CentOS

    Community—.</para>

    <para>Karanbirn Sighn considered the idea intresting and provided

    the infrastructure necessary to support the effort.  This way the

    <ulink url="https://projects.centos.org/trac/artwork/">CentOS

    Artwork SIG</ulink> and the 

    url="https://projects.centos.org/svn/artwork/">CentOS Artwork

    Repository</ulink> were officially created.</para>

    <para>Once the CentOS Artwork Repository was available, Alain

    Reguera Delagdo uploaded the bash script for rendering Anaconda

    slides; Ralph Angenendt documented it very well; and people

    started to download working copies of CentOS Artwork Repository to

    produce slide images in their own languages.</para>
