klepasI'm right now going through it, whilst browisng GNOME-Look.org, ubuntuforums.org and art.ubuntu.com03:22
klepasadding possible candidates which in my opinion we could draw any items that are missing after we add everything else03:23
mpathyI found someone who have many pictures, especially those who fit this calendar "elements-themed" idea..03:24
klepasgood03:24
klepasbecause i'm missing that the most03:24
klepasi'm trying to fulfill the children, teenager, realism and such categories03:24
mpathyhe wrote on the mailing list, subject "newbie"03:24
klepasyup03:25
klepasi replied telling him we are like 24 hours away from deadline and to send as many pics our way as possible :)03:26
mpathyI said that he can upload the fitting pics on art.ubuntu.com03:26
mpathyi think he will answer soon03:27
klepasgood03:27
klepashave you got admin rights to AUC as well?03:28
mpathyklepas, could you mail the current status of what to do in a while?03:28

klepaswell the URLs and names of candidates03:29
klepasmail them to you03:29
klepasand i'll check in on AUC right afterwards?03:29
mpathywhat do you mean with AUC right? sorry my brain doesnt work properly right now, had a hefty week ;)03:34
klepasWell what I am doing right now is trying to find candidates to choose items to add to the art stuff03:35
klepasby going through that list of stuff needed and browsing GNOME-Look, gallery@ Ubuntuforums.org and art.ubuntu.com03:35
klepasonce i've done/covered all items for the wallpapers, i'll mail you the list to continue03:35
klepasand i'll check AUC for those new submissions.03:36
klepas:)03:36
mpathy"make it so" :)03:36
klepasCan do03:36
klepashttp://art.ubuntu.com/backgrounds/ubuntu/4403:37

klepas:D03:37
mpathygreat. perfect. done! :)03:37
mpathynext :)03:37
klepasThat guy has talent03:37
klepaswell i am doing several for each category, so we can choose more than one or have a larger variety03:38
klepashttp://art.ubuntu.com/backgrounds/ubuntu/2803:38
klepasanother one for the kid category?03:39
mpathyyes, he also does such a transparent png I mentioned.. thats a great advance because of the "i dont like this brown!!" problem ;)03:39
mpathywhy kids category? that is one I like too ;)03:40
klepasthey fall into the cute, non-techy criteria03:41
klepashttp://art.ubuntu.com/backgrounds/ubuntu/103:41
klepasthese for the 'teenager' category03:41
mpathywe shouldnt think too straight in the categories which had been mailed.. if we have a couple of different, but high-quality wallpapers its okay.. my opinion..03:42
klepasyea03:42
klepaswell i've added a lot03:42
klepasso we can have a lot to pick from03:42
klepasand we need to pick within the next 10 hours03:43
mpathyokay.. whats with the calendar pics?03:43
klepasnot sure there03:43
klepasi'm hoping our new guy can help us out :)03:43
mpathyyes I hope too.. I think we stick to the elements idea.. its too late too think of new concepts.. lets look what we can find..03:44
klepasyea03:45
klepashttp://kwh.kernow-gb.com/~bvc/images/103.png03:46
klepasWhoa!03:46
mpathyat last resort we should additionally send all our suggestions to canonical because they have ressources to finalize them otherwise.. (stock photo)03:46
klepasagreed03:47
klepasdid you check that last URL?03:47
=== nekohayo [n=nekohayo@ip216-239-87-42.vif.net] has joined #ubuntu-artwork
mpathyyes.. but whats the connection to ubuntu? i think we should save that pic for the "crazy cockchafer" release *LOL*03:49
klepaslollers03:50
klepashttp://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=615&c=503:50
klepas^ candidate for the photography stuff03:50
mpathyhmm..03:51
mpathythe idea is nice but the pic could be better.. perhaps the person who submitted it have other versions of this motive03:51

mpathyhi lllmanulll 03:52
lllmanulllHi !03:52
klepashard to come by so far03:52
mpathyyes.. most of the pics are photos..03:52
lllmanulllGood to see that ther's some discussion going on here :)03:52
lllmanullls/ther/there03:52
klepasmoin lllmanulll03:53
mpathynot that much as it should be a day before deadline ;)03:53
klepasmpathy, what's the max wallpapers we can ship?03:53
mpathyokay, I dont know where the other persons live.. here it is 16:00 :)03:54
mpathyklepas: dont know03:54
klepasi hope it's a lot03:54
klepas:)03:54
lllmanulllHuh, anybody knows where Andy can be found ?03:54
lllmanulllI ma de some icons for Firefox, OpenOffice, etc., and need some input from him03:54
klepasmailing list most likely03:54
klepasI don't know his other details, soz03:55
lllmanulllWell, he doesn't seem to answer (I have already posted a mail with my icons)03:55
mpathyhmm.. i think it shouldnt be too much.. but there should be an integration of the gnome-art frontend03:55
klepasmpathy, think we could ask the guy over at www.linuxart.com for a few nice shots?03:55
mpathylllmanulll: on the mailing list? you could additionally add them to art.ubuntu.com?03:56
mpathywhy not? but fast :)03:56
lllmanulllmpathy, I didn't find a way to post icons on art.ubuntu.com03:58
lllmanulllOnly full icon themes03:58
=== bachler [i=rakahang@62.101.48.8] has joined #ubuntu-artwork
lllmanulllSi there a simple way ?03:58
mpathyoh okay.. hmm dont know.. there is an forum!03:58
klepasalright - could you folks please give me the URLs of any nice GDM themes that we could add the list of candidates?03:58
mpathyklepas: hehe, http://linuxart.com/photos/03jul12-zoo,_africa/1152/0712-104718.jpg thats nice and if I retouched it, perhaps someone believes its a "breezy badger" ;)04:01
=== klepas looks
klepashehe04:01
klepasgo for it04:01
mpathyokay i'll try.. retouching is a least one thing I'm good at ;)04:02
klepasbut stay close to the chatroom04:03
klepasmight need you very soon04:03
mpathyklepas: But there would be 1000 mails of people who say: That is NO badger ;)04:03
klepasalmost done with my part of the list :)04:03

mpathyhi newz2000 04:06
newz2000good morning (GMT -6)04:06
newz2000I'm gonna take a shower soon, but I wanted to say I'll have some time today (2 - 3 hours) to help with art deadline.04:07
newz2000So if anyone has any need, let me know. When I get back I'll see what I can do.04:07
klepassure thing04:08
newz2000I'm good at touching up, color correctiong, optimizing and converting. Not as great at creating.04:08
klepasgood :)04:09
klepasstick around04:09
newz2000I will. I'll be back soon, but I'll keep my irc client open and catch up when I get return.04:09
klepasAlrighty04:09
klepasmini announcement04:10
klepasIs there/could someone please make/show me a finished version of this:04:10
klepashttp://img195.imageshack.us/img195/473/ubuntulogin019io.png04:10
klepasthat is just a mockup04:10
newz2000Did you make that?04:11
klepasNo04:11
klepasI can find out who's concept idea it was04:11
klepasif you like04:11
klepasbut it would be grand if we could set that into life (mockup)04:12
newz2000I think the green in Session is too low contrast with the background... people who are color blind probably won't be able to read it.04:12
newz2000The red in session might have the same problem.04:12
klepasAgreed04:13
klepasblue might do it04:13
klepassuch as the blue used for the "Shutdown"04:13
klepasand that green for the "restart" could be changed04:14
mpathyklepas: I can try to do, i did a few gdm themes for myself a few months ago..04:14
klepasthat would be awesome04:15
klepas:-)04:15
mpathyklepas: if the one who made the mockup could send it to me in "parts" I would try!04:15
klepasone moment04:16
mpathythat mockup would fit perfectly to the new gnome theme who was suggested ("pilgrim")04:16
mpathympathy: perhaps I could take some "parts" of that04:17
klepastalking to yourself there...? :-P04:17
klepasAlright04:18
klepasthe guy who posted the mockup for the GDM theme can be found here:04:18
klepashttp://art.ubuntu.com/users/1404:18
klepasand he also posted an awesome full screen splash!04:19
klepaswould it be possible to turn this into reality: http://img344.imageshack.us/my.php?image=breezysplash018vz.png04:19
klepasNo takers?04:21
mpathyklepas: I dont know if its technically possible to do a fullscreen splashscreen because of the different resolutions04:24
klepasperhaps as an SVG?04:24
klepasin this case it could be possible04:25
mpathyklepas: but I would at least tell canonical about it tomorrow04:25
klepasyea04:25
klepaswell it's a suggestion04:25
klepasotherwise there are plenty i'm about to scourage for on GNOME-Look04:25
mpathyklepas: dont know if svg works at splash and second, also the icons had to be scalable in that way04:25
klepasah, good point04:26
klepaswell we'll just leave it as a mockup then04:26
klepasI'm guessing Canonical has an separate art team or some sorts.04:26
mpathyklepas: I would keep the focus on the wallpapers and the humiltiy iconset, the splash and the gdm are not too bad already :)04:26
klepasYea. You're right04:27
klepas:)04:27
mpathyklepas: dont know if there is a art team but they have people who could do this, if they think it has to be done..04:27
klepasGood.04:28
mpathylets look what we can get done, and not to try too many things in this short time ;) this is our first time as art team, next time we will reach another level, for sure ;)04:29
klepasdone04:33
klepasi'll post the list04:33
klepasmailing list04:34
klepassent04:38
klepas:)04:38
klepasOh, and by the way: I just went sort of stressful because we need to do something, and no one else seemed to be taking a lead. I'm happy to retire now. :)04:39
newz2000someone has to lead04:43
klepasLucky it's holidays here then.04:43
klepasotherwise there is a bedtime curfew04:43
newz2000klepass, where are you?04:43
klepas[00:43 here] 04:43

newz2000good job on that list.04:46

klepasWhat's the CMS called?04:47
newz2000www.elitecms.com04:48
klepasThanks, btw.04:48
mpathyWhat I can do is only to try on IRC as long as possible and additionally try to make this gdm, but I also have little time these weeks 04:49
klepasThat's alright mpathy04:50
klepasGuys, check the mailing list04:50
klepasthe to-do list has just gotten through04:50
klepasI sure hope it's enough04:51

klepasyea05:03
klepasit's v105:03
klepasso feel free to add and make a v2 of the list05:03
klepasfor those not on the mailing list or don't have access to it or whatever05:03

klepashttp://wombat.nuxified.com/files/the-list-v1.txt05:03

newz2000mpathy, I'm not surprised about the gdm thing. It looks like you'll pretty much have to recreate that from scratch.10:06
