        The CentOS Artwork Repository started at 
e1e526
        url="mailto:centos-devel@centos.org">The CentOS Developers
e1e526
        Mailing List</ulink> around 2008, on a discussion about how to
e1e526
        automate slide images used by Anaconda.  In such discussion,
e1e526
        Ralph Angenendt rose up his hand to ask —Do you have
e1e526
        something to show?—.

        To answer the question, Alain Reguera Delgado suggested a bash
07a2e9
        script which combined SVG and SED files in order to produce
07a2e9
        PNG images in different languages —in conjunction with
07a2e9
        the proposition of creating a Subversion repository where
07a2e9
        translations and image production could be distributed inside
750966
        &TC;;—.

        Karanbirn Sighn considered the idea intresting and provided
e1e526
        the infrastructure necessary to support the effort.  This way,
750966
        &TCAS; and &TCAR; were officially created and world wide
750966
        available.

        Once &TCAR; was available, Alain Reguera Delgado uploaded the
750966
        bash script Anaconda slides; Ralph Angenendt documented it
750966
        very well; and people started to download working copies of
750966
        the repository to produce slide images in their own languages.
