        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
07a2e9
        The CentOS Community—.

        Karanbirn Sighn considered the idea intresting and provided
e1e526
        the infrastructure necessary to support the effort.  This way,
e1e526
        The CentOS Artwork SIG and The CentOS Artwork Repository were
e1e526
        officially created and world wide available in the following
e1e526
        two locations, respectively:

        Once The CentOS Artwork Repository was available, Alain
e1e526
        Reguera Delgado uploaded the bash script Anaconda slides;
e1e526
        Ralph Angenendt documented it very well; and people started to
e1e526
        download working copies of CentOS Artwork Repository to
e1e526
        produce slide images in their own languages.
