History
&TCAR; started at The CentOS Developers
Mailing List around 2008, on a discussion about how to
automate slide images used by Anaconda (&TCD; installer). 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 &TCC;—.
Karanbir
Singh considered the idea intresting and provided the
infrastructure necessary to support the effort. This way,
&TCAS; and &TCAR; were officially created and made world wide
available. In this configuration, users were able to register
themselves and administrators were able to assign access
rights to registered users inside &TCAR;, both using a web
interface.
Once &TCAR; was available, Alain Reguera Delgado uploaded the
bash script used to produce the Anaconda
slides;See Ralph Angenendt documented it very
well;See and people started to download working
copies of &TCAR; to produce slide images in their own
languages.See the following Google
search.
From this time on &TCAR; has been evolving into an automated
production environment where &TCC; can conceive &TCP;
corporate visual identity.
