== Project Description ==
Writing am updated boot screen with the Pidora logo instead of the Fedora remix logo. Write a script using OpenGL more effectively to display image effects.

<!-- Description should be no longer than a paragraph. Include links to any relevant on-line resources. For example, [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki] or [http://developer.mozilla.org MDC]. -->

If there is more than one person working on related projects, they must have separate project pages, and the project title and description should identify who is doing what. For example:

Include links to personal pages within wiki and to blog sites. -->

== Project Contributor(s) ==

== Project Details ==
Pidora includes an OpenGL-powered boot screen, which uses the Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix logo. This existing package is called raspi-splash-1.0-1 and available from http://koji.pidora.ca/koji/buildinfo?buildID=39918 .

The existing package use many image frames zipped and stored within the package. The code unzip each frame every time it runs; therefore it runs very slow and takes up memory. This project to write new script to utilize OpenGL effectively to achieve faster and smaller software with the new Pidora logo.

== Project Plan ==


=== Tracking ===

Project updates will be posted to this page and Ai Dow's blog[http://www.adow2.wordpress.com]

<!-- Describe the tracking mechanisms you are using for your project (bugzilla, trac, github, ...) -->

=== Key contacts ===
<!-- Add links to any mentors or key participants in the community. -->

=== Goals by Release ===

Goals for each release and plans for reaching those goals:
<!-- Note: Each student must have unique goals. These goals may be ''related'' to other students' work, but must be ''distinct'' and ''attainable'' regardless of the state of the other students' work. For example, under the umbrella of one project title, one student may work on packaging a piece of software and another may work on documentation, or one may work on solving one bug and another on solving another bug, but two students must not work on the same bug or depend on the other students' work in order to be able to complete their own project. -->
