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.

STLLUG - June 16, 2022

Create a split background image. The left half should have a light grey background, and the right half a darker, modern shade of blue. On the left half, illustrating a retro-style Caucasian sysadmin with a laptop amidst command line interfaces, snippets of code, and a server or VM icon. On the right half, illustrating a sleek, modern Black automation engineer with a laptop that displays the Ansible logo. Also, incorporate playbook and gear icons. In the center, include the Apache logo (feather) symbolizing the commonality between both methods. Add subtle VM icons, perhaps as small server racks or cloud icons, slightly above the split to symbolize their dual usage. The entire composition should balance both sides visually with a clear dividing line enhanced by a slight shadow or glow effect.

SLUUG - June 8, 2022

Design an engaging image that conveys the essence of time-efficient, organized backups. The background is a calming gradient transitioning from a light to dark shade of blue. In the center, there's a large, white open folder. Surrounding it are smaller folders or files, each labeled with timestamps like 'hourly', 'daily', 'weekly', etc. and color-coded. To the bottom right, there's a small, recognizable logo signifying data transfer, and to the bottom left, an emblem representing secure digital communication. Floating above all this are subtle icons of clocks and calendars, reinforcing the time aspect of the backups. This image will not include any text.
