&TCAR; started at

|
|
92942f |
url="mailto:centos-devel@centos.org">The CentOS Developers
|
|
|
92942f |
Mailing List</ulink> around 2008, on a discussion about how to
|
|
|
92942f |
automate slide images used by Anaconda (&TC;; installer). In
|
|
|
897ab6 |
such discussion,

something to show?—.

To answer the question,

|
|
897ab6 |
url="http://wiki.centos.org/AlainRegueraDelgado">Alain Reguera
|
|
|
897ab6 |
Delgado</ulink> suggested a bash script which combined SVG and
|
|
|
897ab6 |
SED files in order to produce PNG images in different
|
|
|
897ab6 |
languages —in conjunction with the proposition of
|
|
|
897ab6 |
creating a Subversion repository where translations and image
|
|
|
897ab6 |
production could be distributed inside &TC;;—.

<ulink url="http://wiki.centos.org/KaranbirSingh">Karanbir

Singh</ulink> considered the idea intresting and provided the
|
|
|
897ab6 |
infrastructure necessary to support the effort. This way,
|
|
|
7b6053 |
&TCAS; and &TCAR; were officially created and made world wide
|
|
|
7b6053 |
available. In this configuration, users were able to register
|
|
|
7b6053 |
themselves and administrators were able to assign access
|
|
|
7b6053 |
rights to registered users inside &TCAR;, both using a web
|
|
|
7b6053 |
interface.

Once &TCAR; was available, Alain Reguera Delgado uploaded the

From this time on &TCAR; has been evolving into an automated

|
|
897ab6 |
production environment where &TC;; can conceive &TC;;

|
897ab6 |
corporate visual identity.
