Stl Linux Unix Users Group

STLLUG - September 22, 2022

Design a clean, modern, visually appealing image with simplicity. It should have a smooth gradient background transitioning from light blue to soft green. At its center, include a large, simplistic 3D cloud icon. Beside the cloud on the left, display a simplified computer server icon, and on the right, place a simplistic hard drive icon. Incorporate sets of arrows indicating the data flow: one from the server to the cloud and another from the cloud to the hard drive. Add small, sleek monochrome logos of Tux Penguin for Linux and Puffy Pufferfish for OpenBSD at the bottom but semi-transparent to minimize their impact. Furthermore, integrate subtle icons of files, folders, and databases floating to depict the concept of data in cloud storage.

SLUUG - September 14, 2022

Envision an image with the harmony of soft blue and white hues forming a tranquil cloudscape in the background, symbolizing the serenity of the cloud environment. In the center, depict a stylized image of a server, or perhaps a rack of servers, to signify cloud-based solutions. Towards the top-right corner, place a hint of a green abstract logo, similar but not identical to any existing brand to stay copyright compliant, subtly hinting at a particular cloud service provider. Near the bottom-middle, draw an endearing black and white bird with an orange beak, evoking the spirit of an open-source community but not exactly mimicking the Linux mascot. Sprinkle the image with subtle elements of network connection lines, indicating connectivity, and subtly incorporate visuals of a shield and a bar graph to signify robust security and performance. The color palette should relay a bright and inviting tone.

STLLUG - August 18, 2022

Create a visually striking image based on modern cloud computing. The background will feature a smooth gradient transitioning from a deep blue at the top to a lighter blue at the bottom. At the center, depict a sleek and minimalist design of a cloud, representing versatility. Around the central cloud, incorporate modern and visually consistent icons of four devices: a desktop computer, a laptop, a tablet, a smartphone - all subtly connected to the central cloud with thin, white lines. Incorporate smaller platform symbols representing Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux near the device icons. Add faint technological patterns or representations of binary code in the background. Use shades of blue, white, and light gray to keep the image cohesive and modern. All icons must be in a flat design and arranged symmetrically for balance, drawing the viewer's eyes towards the central cloud.

SLUUG - August 10, 2022

Create a tech-futuristic collage embodying the concept of interactive computing. Start with a background showcasing a smooth gradient transitioning from light blue at the top to white at the bottom, lending the image a clean, tech-inspired look. In the center, place a prominent symbol resembling the Jupyter logo: an orbiting semi-circle in orange. Near it, but slightly off to the side, place a shiny, yellow, abstract design evoking the essence of the Google Colab logo. Scatter around smaller symbols, each representing one of the programming languages: Python (represent this with two intertwined snakes in blue and yellow), R (a simple, stylized 'R'), and Julia (three multicolored dots). Sprinkle subtle graphics throughout the visual that communicate coding and interactivity: small, classically styled terminal windows, stylized snippets of unknown code, and graphically represented data plots. Integrate these elements judiciously, aiming to keep the overall image uncluttered. Finally, place a small icon similar to Google Drive in a corner, indicating the interconnection with cloud storage. The design should be without any text and maintain a smart and high-tech appearance.

STLLUG - July 21, 2022

Create an image that visually represents the concept of Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) with a gradient background transitioning from dark to light, starting from a rich shade of blue or black at the top, transitioning to a lighter shade towards the bottom. The main visual should be a graphic representation of a filesystem extending from a user's desktop or laptop, with connected icons symbolizing different types of storage services such as a locked folder for encrypted filesystems like `encfs`, a cloud for cloud storage, and a server icon for `sshfs`. Include the Linux Tux penguin near the bottom of the screen or next to a silhouette of a user represented as a hobbyist or business professional interacting with the filesystem. Also, include minimalist icons that represent FUSE features like `sshfs` and `encfs`, and a terminal icon with a simple command prompt interface to represent user's ease of use.

SLUUG - July 13, 2022

Create a sleek, modern interface showcasing a dark theme design. The background should use shades of black, grey, and white, with grid lines representing structured organization. An abstract representation of branching is the central visual. Lines and nodes are to be used to create multiple branches converging and diverging, symbolizing the concept of version control. A large generic logo, similar to that used by Git, is prominently displayed in the center. Lesser known hosting platforms' logos, represented by a fictitious octopus logo and a tanuki logo, are positioned in the top corners with another logo near the bottom. Subtle use of circuit patterns or faded coding snippets should be integrated into the back drop for an added technological theme.
