The CentOS Artwork Repository started at CentOS Developers mailing list (centos-devel@centos.org) around 2008, on a discussion about how to automate slide images used by Anaconda. In such discussion, Ralph Angenendt rose up his hand to ask —Do you have something to show?—. 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 —in conjunction with the proposition of creating a Subversion repository where translations and image production could be distributed inside The CentOS Community—. Karanbirn Sighn considered the idea intresting and provided the infrastructure necessary to support the effort. This way the CentOS Artwork SIG and the CentOS Artwork Repository were officially created. Once the CentOS Artwork Repository was available, Alain Reguera Delgado 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. &intro-history-2009; &intro-history-2010; &intro-history-2011;
