| kamstrup | yeay! I'm awake! | 09:32 |
| klepas | Anyone awake now... | 09:32 |
| klepas | finally. | 09:32 |
| klepas | Moin | 09:32 |
| kamstrup | You woke me up! :-D | 09:32 |
| klepas | good | 09:32 |
| klepas | :-P | 09:32 |
| klepas | have you been following the mailing lists? | 09:33 |
| kamstrup | Yes... | 09:33 |
| klepas | had a look at that list? | 09:35 |
| klepas | that was compiled | 09:35 |
| kamstrup | yes | 09:35 |
| klepas | we need to vote on it | 09:36 |
| kamstrup | did you see the latest mail from Jeff Waugh? | 09:37 |
| klepas | checking | 09:37 |
| klepas | alrighty | 09:39 |
| kamstrup | Wow! Have you seen: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/ | 09:39 |
| klepas | well my idea then would be to cut down that list | 09:39 |
| klepas | yep | 09:39 |
| kamstrup | yes... it'd be really nice to have volvoguy or Andrew around when doing this | 09:40 |
| kamstrup | But are we focusing solely on calendar images now (considering jdubs mail) | 09:41 |
| klepas | No | 09:41 |
| klepas | I say we ought to cut down that list of possible candidates to 3 | 09:42 |
| klepas | for each category | 09:42 |
| kamstrup | sounds sane | 09:42 |
| klepas | we can do the calender stuff at the same time | 09:42 |
| kamstrup | But how do we weed out? | 09:43 |
| klepas | Well, for example | 09:44 |
| kamstrup | Maybe we should just do it, and then direct complaints to /dev/null | 09:44 |
| klepas | lol | 09:44 |
| kamstrup | ... seriously | 09:44 |
| kamstrup | :-) | 09:44 |
| klepas | "Now we do the children's category, open the stuff listed in the list and choose three" | 09:44 |
| klepas | then we come to mutually agree | 09:45 |
| klepas | voila | 09:45 |
| klepas | next bit | 09:45 |
| kamstrup | Ok. I guess we should warn the ML. Give it 15 minutes and then just get to it... | 09:45 |
| klepas | alrighty | 09:46 |
| klepas | could you write the mail | 09:46 |
| kamstrup | Yep. I'm on it | 09:47 |
| === kamstrup typing away | ||

| volvoguy | hey all. i have a million things going on at once, so i'm only about a third here.... but i wanted to be around, especially considering jeff's last email. | 10:08 |
| kamstrup | ... and considering /my/ last mail (send ~5 min ago)... | 10:09 |
| kamstrup | ;-P | 10:09 |
| volvoguy | well yes... you're the one that got me in here. :o) | 10:09 |
| kamstrup | Super | 10:09 |
| kamstrup | ! | 10:09 |
| volvoguy | is Pascal in here too? | 10:09 |
| volvoguy | i can never remember everyone's nicks. | 10:10 |
| kamstrup | He'll be back soon (that's what he said atleast) | 10:10 |
| volvoguy | i got the impression from jeff's email that today is not necessarily the deadline for the wallpapers. | 10:10 |
| kamstrup | it struck me too | 10:11 |
| kamstrup | But then what would "Artwork Deadline" mean? | 10:11 |
| volvoguy | if that's the case, it might be nice to go through pascal's list and contact the artists, see if they'll post their stuff on art.ubuntu.com, and then figure out a good way to vote. | 10:11 |
| kamstrup | yea, but we really need to narrow the list down before any voting... | 10:12 |
| volvoguy | kamstrup, originally the canonical administrative people had much more lofty goals for our team and the breezy release. unrealistic goals in my opinion. | 10:12 |
| === mpathy [n=mpathy@ACB50C0C.ipt.aol.com] has joined #ubuntu-artwork | ||
| kamstrup | he, yeah, but Dapper will have so much art you will get paint on you fingers if you touch the screen! | 10:13 |
| kamstrup | cheers mpathy | 10:13 |
| volvoguy | well, if we can pick six, i don't think it's unreasonable to have 12-18 wallpapers in the pool to vote on. top six entries with the most votes get the nominiations. | 10:14 |
| mpathy | hi kamstrup | 10:14 |
| mpathy | yes.. quality not quantity | 10:14 |
| kamstrup | For the calendars yes, but I still think we might as well pick "ordinary" wallpapers as well | 10:14 |
| volvoguy | kamstrup, perhaps ogra_ can comment on that. since there will be an artwork repository online, i don't know if a "we liked these wallpapers" package in universe is really necessary. | 10:16 |
| volvoguy | that's just my opinion though. | 10:16 |
| kamstrup | You know what'd be really cool volvoguy? | 10:18 |
| volvoguy | if we find out we have another week or two, we also might want to allow for voting on a wallpaper theme - and see if an artist with lots of votes could make all six. | 10:18 |
| volvoguy | kamstrup, what's that? | 10:18 |
| kamstrup | If the art-manager-thing was integrated into gnome-app-install | 10:19 |
| volvoguy | kamstrup, i'm confident that we'll have something like gnome-art by dapper duck. it's already being talked about on the wiki as a goal for that relase. | 10:20 |
| kamstrup | - might give problems with root/user priv's though (if it's integrated into gnome-app-install) | 10:20 |
| volvoguy | i'd honestly like to see it separate from the application installation program. | 10:20 |
| kamstrup | thinking more about this... you're right | 10:21 |
| volvoguy | kamstrup, have you tried gnome-art? | 10:21 |
| kamstrup | not yet | 10:21 |
| kamstrup | I've tried the kde sister though | 10:21 |
| kamstrup | That was not a good experience :-S | 10:21 |
| volvoguy | miketech is it's author and he's usually hanging around in here. he's already working on tying it in to art.ubuntu.com. | 10:21 |
| volvoguy | it works really well. | 10:21 |
| volvoguy | if you're into theming in the windows world, it's much like the wincustomize browser. preview, download and install artwork right from the app. | 10:23 |
| kamstrup | oh, I've not really used windos since '98 | 10:24 |
| volvoguy | is anyone here really into the launchpad stuff yet? i think they might have voting/poll capabilities. | 10:24 |
| volvoguy | kamstrup, lucky you! i still can't quite get by with the gimp, so i'm stuck with windows mostly for the Adobe Creative Suite. | 10:25 |

| klepas | back | 10:27 |
| kamstrup | cheers, volvoguy and mpathy droppped by while you where away | 10:27 |
| klepas | yea | 10:27 |
| klepas | just read the stuff | 10:28 |
| kamstrup | I think we should start when volvoguy gets back | 10:28 |
| klepas | yea | 10:28 |

| === volvoguy will be a floater. you can probably start talking. | ||
| klepas | in 15 minutes | 10:28 |
| volvoguy | i just medicated so i might be out in 15 minutes. | 10:28 |
| kamstrup | we need to quick then ;-P | 10:28 |
| klepas | So, you guys can either go aead, or we can delay this till later | 10:29 |
| klepas | Your call, I'm easy going. :) | 10:29 |
| volvoguy | i can delay my non-computer stuff 15 minutes. fire away. | 10:29 |
| klepas | alrgihty | 10:29 |
| klepas | start with the children's category? | 10:30 |
| kamstrup | Aya | 10:30 |
| kamstrup | volvoguy: you've got klepas' list in front of you? | 10:30 |
| kamstrup | mpathy: are you here? | 10:31 |
| volvoguy | yes, yes i do. | 10:31 |
| klepas | goodie | 10:31 |
| volvoguy | somewhere. | 10:31 |
| klepas | open all the stuff from the children's section | 10:31 |
| klepas | set? | 10:32 |
| kamstrup | i'm ready | 10:33 |
| klepas | alrgihty | 10:33 |
| klepas | i think we can eliminate the 'ubuntu-tan' one | 10:33 |
| klepas | although it's really cute and cool, it's a language dependant one | 10:33 |
| mpathy | kamstrup: not the whole time, I am at work & in danger ;) | 10:34 |
| volvoguy | ok. kids all loaded. | 10:34 |
| kamstrup | mpathy: living life in the fast lane eh? | 10:34 |
| klepas | anyone else agree about the 'Ubuntu-tan' one? | 10:34 |
| kamstrup | on Ubuntu-tan: Quality work, but has text in it (I don't know what it says) | 10:35 |
| volvoguy | ubuntu-tan is definitely not for children. | 10:35 |
| mpathy | kamstrup: hehe.. there are higher goals than a job *ggg* | 10:35 |
| kamstrup | -- it might also be offensive to somebody | 10:35 |
| klepas | Agreed | 10:35 |
| kamstrup | scratch Ubuntu-tan then? | 10:35 |
| klepas | so that's out. | 10:35 |
| klepas | Yes. | 10:35 |
| volvoguy | wait. let's clarify something. are we discussing calendar art now or a potential universe package? | 10:36 |
| kamstrup | oh :-D | 10:36 |
| kamstrup | I think it's non-calendar...? | 10:36 |
| klepas | ye. | 10:36 |
| === lukacu [n=lukacu@cpe-212-18-59-221.dynamic.amis.net] has joined #ubuntu-artwork | ||
| klepas | Shall we do the calender stuff afterwards? | 10:37 |
| volvoguy | if it's non-calendar, and we want a "grown ups" category, "ubuntu-tan" might fit there. | 10:37 |
| klepas | LOl. | 10:37 |
| volvoguy | or maybe "anime land". | 10:37 |
| klepas | heh | 10:37 |
| klepas | well what we take out now could still go elsewhere | 10:37 |
| klepas | like into "others" | 10:37 |
| klepas | but anyway | 10:38 |
| kamstrup | certainly | 10:38 |
| klepas | for the children's category | 10:38 |
| volvoguy | does anyone know what the character is saying in the text bubble? | 10:38 |
| klepas | that leaves 3 left | 10:38 |
| klepas | leaves 4, sorry | 10:38 |
| klepas | http://art.ubuntu.com/backgrounds/ubuntu/44 - I think this is splendid | 10:38 |
| volvoguy | i second that. "childs play" would be great for a kids section. | 10:39 |
| klepas | okay | 10:39 |
| volvoguy | (who's taking notes?) | 10:39 |
| klepas | I can | 10:40 |
| klepas | well only until i go | 10:40 |
| volvoguy | klepas, thanks. :) | 10:40 |
| volvoguy | ok | 10:40 |
| klepas | which is 10 minutes @ max more :( | 10:40 |
| === klepas is ushering at the street theatre | ||
| klepas | http://art.ubuntu.com/backgrounds/ubuntu/28 | 10:40 |
| klepas | keep that as well? | 10:40 |
| klepas | i like it, reminds me of "The Lion King", the kids' movie | 10:41 |
| kamstrup | Well... not really child-like | 10:41 |
| volvoguy | i like that one, but i might ask the artist to modify the logo part of it. | 10:41 |
| klepas | it's GPL | 10:41 |
| volvoguy | it currently breaks the trademark rules. | 10:41 |
| klepas | yep | 10:42 |
| kamstrup | on child's play: I'm planning to add an official logo and optimize the vertex count... | 10:42 |
| volvoguy | probably not enough to piss anyone off, but it breaks consistency. | 10:42 |
| klepas | agreed | 10:42 |
| klepas | actually | 10:42 |
| kamstrup | consistency is really important | 10:42 |
| klepas | could one of you guys keep notes? | 10:42 |
| kamstrup | ubuntulog is logging the conversation | 10:42 |
| kamstrup | but I'm taking notes too... | 10:43 |
| klepas | just edit 'the-list-v1.txt', and make a v2 out of it | 10:43 |
| klepas | then post it later | 10:43 |
| klepas | for the ML | 10:43 |
| klepas | and i need to go | 10:43 |
| klepas | :( :( | 10:43 |
| volvoguy | we'll fill you in later klepas. | 10:44 |
| klepas | alrighty | 10:44 |
| volvoguy | we'll just go through the list and make comments. | 10:44 |
| klepas | i'll stay in the channel | 10:44 |
| volvoguy | ok. | 10:44 |
| volvoguy | kamstrup, art.ubuntu.com doesn't show the artists name by default, does it? | 10:45 |
| klepas | keep going! | 10:45 |
| volvoguy | klepas, we will. :) | 10:45 |
| klepas | click on their username | 10:45 |
| volvoguy | klepas, oh, i see it. | 10:45 |
| klepas | it will show you their real name (if they added it) and their email | 10:45 |
| volvoguy | i'm an admin there, so i'm sure i could find it eventually. i just missed it at first glance. | 10:46 |
| kamstrup | How about http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=23218 | 10:46 |
| volvoguy | i don't have a problem with that one. | 10:46 |
| kamstrup | Seems okay. It doesn't say "Ubuntu" but the circle of friends is there... | 10:47 |
| kamstrup | I dislike out-of-focus stuff like the plants in the foreground... but that's just me | 10:47 |
| volvoguy | yeah. acceptible for a non-calendar wallpaper. | 10:48 |
| kamstrup | check | 10:48 |
| kamstrup | http://art.ubuntu.com/backgrounds/ubuntu/50 | 10:48 |
| volvoguy | i think a lot of people do that on purpose so icons are easier to see on the desktop. | 10:48 |
| kamstrup | Im sort of a low-contrast man instead of an out-of-focus man :-P | 10:49 |
| volvoguy | gotcha. :) | 10:49 |
| volvoguy | http://art.ubuntu.com/backgrounds/ubuntu/50 | 10:49 |
| volvoguy | *sigh* | 10:49 |
| kamstrup | ? | 10:49 |
| volvoguy | i think we should wait until he makes his SVG versions available. | 10:50 |
| kamstrup | It has really friendly eyes that badger | 10:50 |
| klepas | it is @ 1600x1200 | 10:50 |
| volvoguy | the illustration is good, but the colors just make me cringe. | 10:50 |
| klepas | so it can be resized to smaller versions | 10:51 |
| klepas | i like it personally | 10:51 |
| klepas | :) | 10:51 |
| klepas | more than http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=23218 | 10:51 |
| volvoguy | SVG not for resolution issues, but for a transparent background so users can change the color. | 10:51 |
| klepas | true | 10:51 |
| klepas | mmh | 10:51 |
| klepas | he said he'll release the SVG version | 10:52 |
| kamstrup | I think we should "okay" on the condition that the artist provide a transparent version ( be it svg or png) | 10:52 |
| klepas | i'll check if he submitted it to the wallpapers | 10:52 |
| volvoguy | klepas, yes he did. that's why i'm not saying no outright. | 10:52 |
| klepas | not in the incoming wallpapers list | 10:53 |
| klepas | and i need to really go now | 10:53 |
| klepas | Cheers guys | 10:53 |
| klepas | remember to post what you've edited and noted on the ML | 10:53 |
| volvoguy | later klepas. have a good time. :) | 10:53 |

| kamstrup | Teenage/cool. | 10:55 |
| kamstrup | 'Ubuntu': http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=302&c=5 | 10:55 |
| volvoguy | actually, if we can find it, there was another on ubuntuforms that i really liked for kids. | 10:55 |
| volvoguy | it was another badger, some in front of a fan, some jumping out of a plane... very good illustrations. | 10:55 |
| kamstrup | If you go dig for it, I'll ready some links for you | 10:55 |
| volvoguy | sound familiar? | 10:55 |
| kamstrup | Yes, but that wasn't wallpapers was it? | 10:56 |
| volvoguy | i'll find it later on my own time. | 10:56 |
| kamstrup | k | 10:56 |
| volvoguy | no, but i'm sure we could make it a wallpaper. :) | 10:56 |
| kamstrup | http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=302&c=5 : okay I guess. Not exceptionally cool though | 10:57 |
| klepas|afk | i really like that one for the teenagers [http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=302&c=5] . It's simple, consistent with everything else. I like it. | 10:57 |
| klepas|afk | and yes i should be gone... just putting on shoes... :-P | 10:57 |
| volvoguy | gimme a sec while you're loading up the next batch. i started my own text file for notes but i think i'm going to mark up Pascal's text file instead. | 10:57 |
| klepas|afk | go for it | 10:57 |
| kamstrup | http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=22500 | 10:57 |
| klepas|afk | as long as you post all the extra notes on the ML | 10:57 |
| volvoguy | i will. | 10:58 |
| klepas|afk | :o) | 10:58 |
| volvoguy | i just have a million windows open and firefox's memory leaks are rearing their ugly head. | 10:58 |
| klepas|afk | http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=22500 - is cool, but not in consistency with the logo and the logo text | 10:59 |
| klepas|afk | and is not an SVG | 10:59 |
| kamstrup | http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=22500: The overlay logo hurts my eyes... This does not comply with official logo | 10:59 |
| kamstrup | no go | 10:59 |
| klepas|afk | but large enough anyway (1600x1200) | 10:59 |
| klepas|afk | no go | 10:59 |
| klepas|afk | agreed | 10:59 |
| kamstrup | scratch that one then | 10:59 |
| mpathy | someone read the mail from jeff? wouldnt it be better to talk about the calendar first? just asking :) | 11:00 |
| klepas|afk | the glasses? | 11:00 |
| klepas|afk | http://art.ubuntu.com/backgrounds/ubuntu/1 | 11:00 |

| kamstrup | mpathy: we're finally getting something done, let's keep doing it :-) | 11:01 |
| kamstrup | Are they fully CG? | 11:01 |
| klepas|afk | mpathy: we said to do the calender afterwards | 11:01 |
| klepas|afk | and I'm out | 11:01 |
| klepas|afk | ciao!! | 11:01 |
| kamstrup | cheers | 11:01 |
| mpathy | okay ;) | 11:01 |

| volvoguy | http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=302&c=5 | 11:03 |

| kamstrup | http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=302&c=5 got accepted | 11:04 |
| volvoguy | lol. i'm sure canonical has lots of comps that didn't get used. | 11:04 |
| kamstrup | ... in the teenagers category | 11:04 |
| volvoguy | http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=22500 | 11:05 |
| kamstrup | I'm trying to dig out the "true" license on those sun glasses | 11:05 |
| volvoguy | i don't like. | 11:05 |
| volvoguy | logo trademark issues. | 11:05 |
| mpathy | volvoguy: me too.. the wrong font and the logo is also modified.. a no-no | 11:05 |
| volvoguy | http://art.ubuntu.com/backgrounds/ubuntu/1 | 11:06 |
| volvoguy | has anyone emailed the author to see where he got the glasses image? | 11:07 |
| kamstrup | If the glasses are not CG, then they wont do. We can't have a picture of an iPod either can we? | 11:07 |
| lukacu | http://sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=258771 | 11:08 |
| volvoguy | i dunno. are those a particular brand of sunglasses? | 11:08 |
| kamstrup | Nike | 11:08 |
| kamstrup | the logo got digitally removed | 11:09 |
| mpathy | personally I dont like the glasses also.. whats the connection between ubuntu and glasses? | 11:09 |
| volvoguy | ah ha. | 11:09 |
| kamstrup | it's cool | 11:09 |
| kamstrup | all the cool kids are wearing em | 11:09 |
| kamstrup | ;-P | 11:09 |
| mpathy | kamstrup: okay it seems to be that finally it happened that I am not cool anymore :oP | 11:10 |
| mpathy | ;) | 11:10 |
| volvoguy | it's a nice image. i think the photograph and nike would need to give us license to use the image though. | 11:10 |
| kamstrup | Even though they prolly are the coolest wallp we've got, I think we have to make it a no | 11:10 |
| volvoguy | kamstrup, i agree. | 11:10 |
| kamstrup | :-( okay, a no then | 11:10 |
| kamstrup | Now to: http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=591&c=5 | 11:11 |
| kamstrup | wow | 11:11 |
| volvoguy | kamstrup, if you want to send a no nonsense email to the wallpaper author, maybe he can straighten things out for us. | 11:11 |
| mpathy | btw, KUbuntu has some very good artwork! perhaps also look there and modfiy? | 11:12 |
| kamstrup | that's seriously teenage-ish | 11:12 |
| kamstrup | volvoguy: Maybe it's a bit late... For Dapper maybe? | 11:12 |
| volvoguy | that's what the powerpuff girls use on their ubuntu machines. | 11:12 |
| kamstrup | volvoguy: LOL | 11:12 |
| volvoguy | i don't see anything wrong with it, but i don't happen to like it personally. | 11:13 |
| === kamstrup is pondering | ||
| volvoguy | we could suggest that one of the bubbles be the circle element | 11:14 |
| kamstrup | really "power puff" power in that one, but I'm afraid the white background will hurt peoples eyes in the long run | 11:14 |
| kamstrup | I'd like to something along those lines (or modification of) for the childrens category | 11:15 |
| volvoguy | i don't think we need to make that call. i use all white backgrounds at times. | 11:15 |
| kamstrup | ok... I'm prolly just a whiner | 11:15 |
| kamstrup | :-) | 11:15 |
| volvoguy | ok. it's a keeper then. | 11:15 |
| volvoguy | on to abstract. | 11:16 |
| mpathy | I have some which I could think of for "teenager" section | 11:16 |
| volvoguy | sure. fire away. | 11:16 |
| mpathy | http://www.gnome-look.org/content/pre1/29045-1.jpg | 11:17 |
| volvoguy | by the way, i haven't gotten around to putting any of my SVG wallpapers on art.ubuntu.com yet either, so feel free to nominate any of those too. hint, hint. :) | 11:17 |
| mpathy | oh sorry thats the main link http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=29045 | 11:17 |
| mpathy | second one: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/files/29134-ubuntu_screen3_6.jpg | 11:18 |
| volvoguy | can i assume that the actual download is a wallpaper and not a screenshot? | 11:18 |
| mpathy | yes. there is a main link.. moment please | 11:19 |
| mpathy | http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=29134 | 11:19 |
| mpathy | and the third one: | 11:20 |
| mpathy | http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=28371 | 11:20 |
| kamstrup | volvoguy: I bleive that you "Swirls" are nominated in the abstract category? | 11:20 |
| volvoguy | i'm not crazy about the first, but the second is awesome - for either teens or abstract. | 11:20 |
| kamstrup | volvoguy: ... but your "Squares" is excellent also | 11:20 |
| volvoguy | kamstrup, oh yeah - the one our webmaster uploaded as a demo. hehe. :) | 11:21 |
| volvoguy | mpathy, i'm not crazy about number 3 either personally. | 11:21 |
| volvoguy | kamstrup, what do you think about mpathy's three suggestions? | 11:22 |
| kamstrup | All of them are great but I have some concers about 1 and 3, but 2 is good... | 11:23 |
| kamstrup | except that I'd really like 2 to have been in a transparent format | 11:23 |
| volvoguy | i agree. | 11:23 |
| volvoguy | kamstrup, i can put in the notes to email the author to see if he has SVG's available. | 11:24 |
| mpathy | i like the second, if it is not to abstract.. agree with the transparence! whats about the first one? I think its really nice or is it to much GNU for Ubuntu? :oPP ;o) | 11:24 |
| kamstrup | mpathy: I think it is dangerous to start pushing other trademarks/logos than Ubuntu (and to some extent gnome) | 11:25 |
| volvoguy | mpathy, i get either a druggie or eastern religion vibe from number one (whether either is implied or not). | 11:26 |
| kamstrup | volvoguy: are you noting the stuff on 2? | 11:26 |
| volvoguy | kamstrup, yeah... number two - teens or abstract though? | 11:26 |
| kamstrup | abs | 11:27 |
| volvoguy | k | 11:27 |
| kamstrup | Moving to the Abstract category | 11:27 |
| kamstrup | ====================== | 11:27 |
| volvoguy | got it. | 11:27 |
| kamstrup | 'Ubuntu Breezy Badger-mouse' (one without the creature!): http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=28693 | 11:27 |
| kamstrup | I don't think the words "Breezy Badger" should appear in a wallpaper | 11:28 |
| volvoguy | looks good to me. | 11:28 |
| kamstrup | Furthermore the lozenged logo has been modified. I think there are some official Canonical guidelines for this (Id really like to discuss this matter at an other point in timwe). | 11:29 |
| kamstrup | volvoguy: I suspect you of modifying the lozenge logo in Squares also..? :-) | 11:30 |
| volvoguy | i think it's just been lengthened a bit. | 11:30 |
| volvoguy | kamstrup, there was no lozenge version when i did mine. | 11:31 |
| kamstrup | volvoguy: ok | 11:31 |
| volvoguy | how about an "ok, but modify lozenge to conform to current specs"? | 11:32 |
| kamstrup | On the wallp in question, I think the the lozenge has been shortened in height | 11:32 |
| kamstrup | hmmmm.... what about transparency? | 11:32 |
| kamstrup | Especially in the Abstract category, I rate transparency really high | 11:32 |
| volvoguy | it's possible, but don't know if it's necessary on everything. | 11:32 |
| kamstrup | It would be up to the voters to decide also. | 11:33 |
| volvoguy | it's GPL though so we can do what we want | 11:33 |
| volvoguy | so..... "fix lozenge and potential transparency"? | 11:33 |
| kamstrup | ok, I OK it then... (under the above conditions) | 11:34 |
| volvoguy | got it. | 11:34 |
| kamstrup | 'Swirl': http://art.ubuntu.com/backgrounds/ubuntu/3 | 11:34 |
| volvoguy | next is mine so i can't vote. | 11:34 |
| volvoguy | :) | 11:35 |
| kamstrup | Hehe | 11:35 |
| kamstrup | Definitely, go. | 11:35 |
| volvoguy | aww... thanks. :) | 11:35 |
| volvoguy | i won't tell you what inspired that. | 11:35 |
| volvoguy | http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=29526 | 11:35 |
| kamstrup | The exact same things as for http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=28693 applies | 11:36 |
| volvoguy | same author as the the orange one... again, i like it. | 11:37 |
| volvoguy | ok. same conditions then. | 11:37 |
| kamstrup | wait | 11:37 |
| volvoguy | yes sir? | 11:37 |
| kamstrup | on http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=28693 I'd also like to remove the words "Breezy Badger" | 11:37 |
| volvoguy | how about two versions? i think the "code names" make it more personable. | 11:38 |
| kamstrup | Yes, but "Breezy Badger" is just the name for the development version right? | 11:39 |
| volvoguy | and gosh, we're only talking like 3Mb of graphics so far. | 11:39 |
| volvoguy | no, the release is called breezy badger. | 11:39 |
| kamstrup | officially | 11:39 |
| volvoguy | and/or 5.10 | 11:39 |
| kamstrup | ? | 11:39 |
| volvoguy | yep. | 11:39 |
| volvoguy | want me to go ask in #ubuntu? | 11:39 |
| kamstrup | I'd also like to add that 'Ubuntu Breezy Badger-mouse' and 'Basse' are remarkably alike | 11:40 |
| kamstrup | volvoguy: No! Well be flooded! | 11:40 |
| kamstrup | :-D | 11:40 |
| volvoguy | they're similar to my swirls too - but it's all about personal preference. :) | 11:41 |
| volvoguy | and basse doesn't have the mouse/badger thingie on it. | 11:41 |
| kamstrup | It's just because we should narrow down to three choices | 11:41 |
| volvoguy | when did we make that rule? lol. | 11:42 |
| kamstrup | klepas and I dictated it :D | 11:42 |
| volvoguy | i think it'd be better to say - let's squeeze as much as we can in X megabytes. | 11:42 |
| volvoguy | i wanted to do the same with themes - stick to one theme but make as many color variations as we could get done before the release. | 11:44 |
| volvoguy | it all boils down to the motto - it's all about choice. | 11:44 |
| kamstrup | If we have a fixed MB barrier high-res PNGs are going to have a rough day | 11:45 |
| volvoguy | we'll throw 'em at pngcrush and see what happens. | 11:45 |
| kamstrup | On my Ogmore pngcrush reduced it from 1.4MB to 1.2MB | 11:45 |
| volvoguy | just for you, i added "possibly eliminate breezy badger text" for that first abstract. | 11:46 |
| kamstrup | :) | 11:46 |
| volvoguy | shall we continue? my 15 minutes were up about a half hour ago. :) | 11:46 |
| volvoguy | http://art.ubuntu.com/backgrounds/ubuntu/23 | 11:47 |
| kamstrup | hehe... If you're up to it | 11:47 |
| volvoguy | i like it - again, maybe add transparency. | 11:47 |
| kamstrup | exactly my words. | 11:48 |
| kamstrup | I like how the circle of friends (cof) looks edged-in | 11:48 |
| kamstrup | +1 | 11:48 |
| volvoguy | yeah. we can do that with an alpha transparent png or SVG, so it's all good. | 11:49 |
| volvoguy | http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=29567 | 11:49 |
| volvoguy | just looking at the thumbnails, i really like 'em. again, maybe add transparency. | 11:49 |
| kamstrup | These are actually very much along the lines of how I imagined the Ubuntu Elements calendar :-D | 11:50 |
| kamstrup | Yeah, but they're SVGs so that would be easy. | 11:50 |
| volvoguy | well, there's already three, perhaps we can talk the author into making three more. :) | 11:50 |
| kamstrup | volvoguy: that's an idea | 11:51 |
| volvoguy | i'll note it. | 11:51 |
| volvoguy | http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=21125 | 11:51 |
| volvoguy | i like it. logo may need an outline to make it pop a bit more. | 11:52 |
| kamstrup | There's nothing really to complain about except the usual transparency. | 11:53 |
| kamstrup | One thing we have forgotten... | 11:53 |
| volvoguy | textured background might make that slightly more difficult on this one. | 11:53 |
| volvoguy | what's that? | 11:53 |
| kamstrup | How and if we should enforce the Ubuntu palette | 11:53 |
| kamstrup | That would make transparency a _requirement_ for most wallps | 11:54 |
| volvoguy | for a universe artwork package? i'd say it doesn't matter. for calendar images, it should be enforced. | 11:54 |
| volvoguy | well, we can't ship transparent background images with a default background color. | 11:54 |
| kamstrup | What about long term? If we stand a chance for main inclusion in Dapper | 11:54 |
| kamstrup | volvoguy: I'm not so sure about that. | 11:55 |
| volvoguy | i don't know how you'd do that. if a background color is specified, it's not transparent. | 11:55 |
| kamstrup | The wallpaper dialog has a per-wp background set | 11:55 |
| kamstrup | it has to store that info somewhere | 11:56 |
| kamstrup | perhaps there is a global place for this | 11:56 |
| volvoguy | but the SVG file can't tell the wallpaper dialog to use a particular color set. | 11:56 |
| kamstrup | No but a .deb could (maybe) | 11:56 |
| volvoguy | trust me, i've researched it. the best i came up with is including a readme with the SVG file in a tgz file with some suggested background colors. | 11:57 |
| volvoguy | you're free to pick the brains of the devs in their channel at a later date though. :) | 11:58 |
| kamstrup | I'll look into it, in the early phases for Dapper. | 11:58 |
| kamstrup | Maybe we could patch gnome-background-properties | 11:59 |
| volvoguy | back to color palette.... if a universe background gets promoted to main for a future release, we could then just require that they adjust the colors to conform to the palette. | 11:59 |
| kamstrup | Yeah. | 12:00 |
| volvoguy | a small price to pay to have your artwork on thousands of desktops. | 12:00 |
| volvoguy | ok. are we ready to move into the "realistic" category? | 12:00 |
| kamstrup | I think we should postpone this discussion for Dapper. But we should reach a conclusion on put it on the wiki. | 12:00 |
| volvoguy | i think it already says somewhere that artwork to be considered for inclusion in main must conform to the official palette. | 12:01 |
| kamstrup | About: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=21125, there's no real complaints from me although it doesn't rock my world | 12:01 |
| volvoguy | i could be wrong, but i think i wrote it. :) | 12:02 |
| volvoguy | ok. | 12:02 |
| kamstrup | volvoguy: It is mentioned but I think it's in an icon-context | 12:02 |
| volvoguy | http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=615&c=5 | 12:02 |
| volvoguy | kamstrup, you're probably right. | 12:02 |
| volvoguy | i like, but the logo is blurry. | 12:03 |
| kamstrup | I noticed that too | 12:03 |
| kamstrup | good composition | 12:03 |
| volvoguy | looks like jpg artifacts. might be fixed by a simple re-export if the author still has the layered gimp file. | 12:04 |
| kamstrup | I still think that we should narrow each category down to three or four choices. | 12:05 |
| volvoguy | well, since it's just the two of us doing this right now, let's finish the list and feed it to the mailing list and see what input they give. | 12:06 |
| kamstrup | Give this +1 under the condition that the logo is fixed | 12:06 |
| volvoguy | got it. | 12:06 |
| volvoguy | http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=264&c=5 | 12:06 |
| volvoguy | also remember that this list is only Pascal's initial picks. we may add and delete a lot before we actually get to a final vote stage. | 12:08 |
| volvoguy | i think this last one is beauty-full. | 12:08 |
| kamstrup | Yes, nice composition again. | 12:08 |
| kamstrup | The out-of-focus thing still hurts my eyes (literally) though | 12:09 |
| kamstrup | The reason that I'm whining so much about the out of focus is that I feel actual pain in my eyes when I look at it. | 12:10 |
| volvoguy | you can just use a different one then. :) i almost always go for the out of focus ones so i can see my desktop icons better. | 12:10 |
| kamstrup | I just fear that I'm not the only one in the world with this problem. | 12:10 |
| kamstrup | As I mentioned before; Im more into low-contrast | 12:11 |
| kamstrup | gives the same sort of icon visibility | 12:11 |
| volvoguy | and i'm not the only one without it. :) and acoustic guitar apparently hurts my brothers ears, but loud rap music doesn't. it's all personal preference. | 12:11 |
| kamstrup | yeah, anyways, +1 from me. | 12:12 |
| volvoguy | :) | 12:12 |
| volvoguy | http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=871&c=5 | 12:12 |
| volvoguy | interesting. | 12:12 |
| kamstrup | wait... | 12:13 |
| volvoguy | yes? | 12:13 |
| kamstrup | It is not the real ubuntu font in the afforementined wp | 12:13 |
| kamstrup | On http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=871&c=5 ; Really nice. Is the ubuntu logo blurred, or is it just because the main image is friggin sharp ;-P | 12:14 |
| volvoguy | judging by the date of the first comment, probably not. that font has only been released recently (and only in breezy unless snatched from someone elses machine) | 12:14 |
| kamstrup | volvoguy: Then I'd say +1 under the cond. that the font is fixed | 12:15 |
| volvoguy | noted. | 12:16 |
| volvoguy | i'd say the logo on the last one is a bit to antialiased. | 12:16 |
| volvoguy | *and* the image is particularly sharp. | 12:17 |
| volvoguy | don't female mantis eat the males after they mate? is that really the message we want to send to the community? lol. | 12:17 |
| kamstrup | Think of the kids! SOmeone think of the children! | 12:18 |
| volvoguy | it's a cool image, but i'm undecided about it's use as a wallpaper. | 12:18 |
| kamstrup | CSetting the mantis as my actual background tells me that the logo will have to be sharper. It looks a bit unprofessional to be atm. | 12:19 |
| volvoguy | "mommy, where is daddy?" | 12:19 |
| kamstrup | lol | 12:19 |
| volvoguy | i think i have to vote no. | 12:19 |
| kamstrup | why | 12:19 |
| volvoguy | you answered your own question. :) | 12:20 |
| volvoguy | why? | 12:20 |
| volvoguy | it's not really abstract. | 12:20 |
| kamstrup | the logo or the man-eater thing? | 12:20 |
| kamstrup | Oh, but we are in the realism category | 12:20 |
| volvoguy | it's not a neutral landscape image. | 12:20 |
| volvoguy | it's a big bug. | 12:21 |
| kamstrup | Thinking about it, a mantis is actually sending a message... | 12:21 |
| kamstrup | a negative one. | 12:21 |
| kamstrup | We can't have bugs in Breezy | 12:21 |
| kamstrup | all in all -1 from me | 12:21 |
| mpathy | back again! | 12:22 |
| volvoguy | that's a good reason too. i'll note that. :) | 12:22 |
| kamstrup | welcome back to the flip side mpathy | 12:22 |

| mpathy | my boss has his birthday so I am full with secco right now and in a funny mood ;) | 12:23 |
| volvoguy | i'm going to be up all night. i can tell already. | 12:23 |
| volvoguy | don't like the tagline in that one. | 12:24 |
| mpathy | kamstrup: what with this? I dont see the sense of the subtitle | 12:24 |
| kamstrup | the logo is un-antialised | 12:24 |
| volvoguy | not particularly fond of the photograph either. | 12:24 |
| kamstrup | There's also a political message in it. | 12:24 |
| kamstrup | We can't go with it | 12:24 |

| volvoguy | my favorite flower. | 12:26 |
| volvoguy | i'm all over this one. it could possibly use the "linux for human beings" tagline, but not necessary. | 12:27 |
| volvoguy | mpathy, is that a badger? it looks like a meerkat. | 12:28 |
| kamstrup | volvoguy: The image is good, but has a lot of stuff catching your eye in it, +1 | 12:28 |
| mpathy | volvoguy: no its not, I said I want to retoch it but I fear I get in trouble with people ;) | 12:29 |
| kamstrup | Setting the images as wallpapers really helps me... | 12:29 |
| volvoguy | kamstrup, yeah - a little busy, but pretty. i'll note that. | 12:29 |
| kamstrup | Just right-click from Firef. | 12:29 |
| mpathy | did you now that the german army has a tank who is also called badger? perhaps we can add a "I love the NRA" section ;) | 12:29 |
| === mpathy got to much pro-secco | ||
| volvoguy | mpathy, gotcha. gotta make sure you use open source type images. :) | 12:30 |

| === lllmanulll [n=lllmanul@dan75-4-82-239-58-38.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu-artwork | ||
| volvoguy | i think it's the first "subtle" image we've seen. | 12:32 |
| kamstrup | I like it too. The image itself is better than the sun flower if you ask me, but the transparent logo is not exactly my cup of tea | 12:33 |
| kamstrup | Also the logo is a bit crammed into the right... | 12:34 |
| volvoguy | the logo could be a bit darker, but i think it works. it keeps the flowers looking delicate. | 12:34 |
| kamstrup | right | 12:34 |
| kamstrup | The out-of-focus works good in this image actually ;-) | 12:35 |
| volvoguy | :-) | 12:35 |
| kamstrup | I think it's because there are no visible shapes in it | 12:35 |
| kamstrup | My eye does not try to focus the non-focusable | 12:35 |
| kamstrup | :-D | 12:35 |
| volvoguy | by the way, the yellow flower wasn't a sunflower. :) | 12:36 |
| volvoguy | this is probably local slang for it, but around here it's called a "black-eyed susan". it's in the daisy family. | 12:37 |
| volvoguy | i had a HUGE sunflower crop this year. i have hundreds of images that i still need to go through to see if anything is wallpaper material. | 12:38 |

| volvoguy | back. | 12:43 |

| kamstrup | get back... | 12:44 |
| volvoguy | i agree kamstrup. good in concept i think, but the image just didn't turn out. | 12:44 |
| kamstrup | get back to where you once belong' | 12:44 |
| volvoguy | i belong in bed. or doing my bills. neither one is getting done tonight. :-P | 12:44 |

| kamstrup | My masters isn't exactly writing itself either | 12:44 |
| volvoguy | i wish i could be writing a masters. | 12:45 |
| kamstrup | why can't you | 12:45 |
| kamstrup | ? | 12:45 |
| volvoguy | i'm on workers comp/disability from an injury at work. you're not allowed to make money or educate yourself while you're trying to get fixed. a stupid law if you ask me. | 12:46 |

| kamstrup | I'd humbly like to suggest my Ogmore image for the realism cat. | 12:48 |
| volvoguy | i vote no. | 12:48 |

| volvoguy | what's the link. | 12:48 |
| kamstrup | http://art.ubuntu.com/images/backgrounds/Ubuntu-Ogmore_1024x768.jpg | 12:49 |
| kamstrup | or just http://art.ubuntu.com/backgrounds/ubuntu/52 | 12:49 |
| kamstrup | mainly because it's a transparent photography | 12:49 |
| volvoguy | oh yeah. totally. my only suggestion might be a bigger logo, with perhaps some transparency to the logo. | 12:50 |
| volvoguy | if that makes sense. | 12:51 |
| volvoguy | my pain meds are wearing off so now it's the pain talking instead of the drugs. | 12:51 |
| kamstrup | I tried with a transparent logo, but it looked kinda strange with some bg colors | 12:52 |
| volvoguy | understandable. | 12:52 |
| volvoguy | it's fine the way it is then. | 12:52 |
| volvoguy | it's on the list. | 12:52 |
| volvoguy | how about i show off mine and we call it a night for tonight? | 12:53 |
| kamstrup | k | 12:53 |
| volvoguy | http://www.volvoguy.net/ubuntu/ | 12:53 |
| kamstrup | (it's mid-day here in Denmark) | 12:53 |
| volvoguy | keep in mind - all SVG, all transparent backgrounds. | 12:53 |
| volvoguy | most are pretty minimalistic, 'cause that's just the way i am. | 12:55 |
| kamstrup | that's the way I like it (aha aha) | 12:55 |
| volvoguy | near the bottom it's hard to tell, but most have either some sort of shadow or emboss effect. | 12:55 |
| volvoguy | my fav is probably the one with the larger earth near the bottom. | 12:56 |
| volvoguy | and the snowflakes (man, was that a task), but that's seasonal, so it probably doesn't belong. | 12:57 |
| kamstrup | Yes it caught my eye too | 12:57 |
| kamstrup | The ones where the COF is enclosing the earth can feel bit too "World domination"-like | 12:58 |
| kamstrup | My favorites are definitely Swirl and then Squares | 12:58 |
| volvoguy | i actually traced all those snowflakes by hand from some scientific research done in the 1920's. | 12:58 |
| kamstrup | The glossy loges at the bottom are great, but maybe a bit too minimalistic. Id like to see them with a bit more composition | 12:59 |
| volvoguy | composition as in... on top of a photo? | 01:00 |
| volvoguy | or just placed differently on the screen? | 01:01 |
| volvoguy | keep in mind that some of these were created before the first release of Ubuntu. :o) | 01:01 |
| kamstrup | I'm not thinking of anything particularly. My brain just needs some shapes in the image. Be it swirls, squares, triangles, photos... | 01:02 |
| volvoguy | ok. gotcha. | 01:02 |
| volvoguy | so i'll add the squares to the list. | 01:02 |
| volvoguy | how about the earth with the smaller COF? | 01:02 |
| kamstrup | Perhaps the guy with the three svgs we reviewed can use your snowflakes for a winter image? | 01:03 |
| volvoguy | ahh. yes. i'll note that. | 01:03 |
| === kamstrup is trying it out | ||
| kamstrup | ... | 01:04 |
| kamstrup | I think I would have moved the COF off center | 01:04 |
| kamstrup | Up to the right | 01:05 |
| volvoguy | that's always a tough decision when dealing with a asymmetrical graphic like the earth. | 01:05 |
| kamstrup | So that it intersects the globes circumference | 01:05 |
| kamstrup | not usre though, looks great anyway | 01:05 |
| volvoguy | believe it or not, everything is centered absolutely right now. | 01:05 |
| volvoguy | well, since I kept the "no's" on the list, i'll put that earth image on the list as a maybe and see what happens. how's that? | 01:06 |
| kamstrup | yeah. ok | 01:07 |
| volvoguy | category? abstract? | 01:07 |
| kamstrup | abs i guess | 01:07 |
| volvoguy | what was that? | 01:08 |
| kamstrup | volvoguy: I'm trying to send you the blue-eart-logo-small changes I'm speaking of | 01:08 |
| volvoguy | kamstrup, try again. it was pointing to a non-existant directory. | 01:09 |
| kamstrup | yeehaw | 01:09 |
| volvoguy | ooooh. i see. | 01:10 |
| kamstrup | but ofcourse it's a matter of personal taste | 01:10 |
| volvoguy | yeah. i'd have to stare at it a while. :) | 01:10 |
| volvoguy | not bad though. | 01:10 |
| kamstrup | That's the great thing about svg. | 01:11 |
| kamstrup | It's so easy to work with in this way | 01:11 |
| volvoguy | i know. i love it. | 01:11 |
| volvoguy | whew. | 01:12 |
| volvoguy | ok. i need to do something that is not this for a while. | 01:13 |
| volvoguy | i'll email my notes to the mailing list. | 01:13 |
| volvoguy | kamstrup, thanks for being so proactive with all this recently. we needed a kick in the butt. | 01:14 |
| kamstrup | NP. At some point in the not-so-distant future we need a clear cut development policy for Dapper. But that is better left for after 13th of Oct. | 01:14 |
| kamstrup | Will you contact the guy with the three SVGs? | 01:15 |
| volvoguy | yes. we'll probably be passing the torch of art team lead, even if it's only temporarily, because at some point during dapper drake i'll be having surgery and will disapper completely. | 01:16 |
| volvoguy | yeah. i can contact him. | 01:16 |
| volvoguy | just as a "maybe" for now until we get some feedback from everyone else though. | 01:16 |
| kamstrup | ofcourse | 01:18 |
| volvoguy | and on that note, i bid you all a good evening/morning. :) at any rate i'll talk to you later. bye for now. | 01:18 |
| kamstrup | cheers! | 01:18 |

| lllmanulll | Hey there, what's the ubuntu font package again ? | 03:34 |
| klepas|afk | sorry, can't remember | 03:42 |
| === klepas|afk is now known as klepas | ||
| mpathy | klepas|afk: you said it to me but I can't remember where or when (or if *g*) | 03:42 |
| klepas | the font package? | 03:43 |
| klepas | or the GDM mockup? | 03:43 |
| lllmanulll | Nevermind, I found the font .ttf file on the wiki :) | 03:43 |
| lllmanulll | Thanks | 03:43 |
| mpathy | but it shouldnt be this difficult if I can get the single parts of it - if I get them today I make it till tomorrow *g* | 03:43 |
| mpathy | klepas: the mockup | 03:43 |
| klepas | http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/473/ubuntulogin019io.png | 03:44 |
| mpathy | klepas: no I mean, the buttons etc. they should be a own transparent png | 03:45 |
| klepas | i can get you the author of the GDM | 03:45 |
| klepas | [mockup] | 03:45 |
| klepas | http://www.livejournal.com/users/bmgz/ | 03:45 |
| klepas | i don't personally know where to get the individual files for it | 03:46 |
| mpathy | okay.. | 03:46 |
| mpathy | if I have the parts I could do it in one day.. otherwise I had to build it similar, not 100% the same | 03:47 |
| klepas | yea, i know | 03:47 |
| klepas | see if you can contact bmgz | 03:47 |
| klepas | on it already | 03:52 |
| klepas | :) | 03:52 |
| mpathy | i didnt find a mail adress but I send a comment | 03:52 |

| mpathy | I found a hint.. He said that he send his mockup to the ubuntu-artwork mailing list so it should be there.. | 03:56 |
| mpathy | Ich komme aus der Umgebung von Stuttgart. | 03:56 |
| mpathy | I live exactly between the GUADEC 2005 and the aKademy 2004 ;) | 03:57 |

| klepas | wait | 03:59 |
| klepas | that's Henrik's comments on the mockup submission | 03:59 |
| klepas | sorry | 03:59 |
| mpathy | okay.. nice that you look because I am not so organized on my office mac.. | 03:59 |

| klepas | Moin | 04:09 |
| newz2000 | howdy | 04:10 |
| klepas | mpathy: thanks mate | 04:10 |
| mpathy | klepas: the mockup with the fullscreen splash seems to be tricky, but we should definitely send canonical a like how they like it and if someone can write a patch (what I believe is needed for sth like that) | 04:11 |
| klepas | good idea | 04:11 |
| klepas | alright, _completely_ off topic: http://www.go-quiz.com/subculture/subculture-test.php | 04:12 |
| klepas | what the hell...? | 04:12 |
| klepas | worst web page i've seen all week | 04:12 |
| mpathy | hope, at least for "drapper drake" I could offer more than just ideas *sigh* ;) | 04:12 |
| klepas | yea | 04:14 |
| klepas | I think the art community will have their big chance with Dapper | 04:14 |
| klepas | I think we should stick something like this over all ubuntu artwork related webpages: http://wombat.nuxified.com/files/wip.jpg | 04:15 |

| nicholaspaul | good morning everyone. | 06:05 |
| newz2000 | I'm about to upload Vijay's background pictures to Flickr... any tips for making this work smoothly? | 06:22 |
| newz2000 | Should I mark them as public? | 06:22 |
| nicholaspaul | ive never used it , sorry. | 06:25 |
| newz2000 | no prob. This is my first time too, but volvo guy suggested flickr as an upload area. We'll see how it works. | 06:25 |
| nicholaspaul | let us know how it goes | 06:31 |
| newz2000 | It works smooth. The only trick is that "tags" are not text messages but potential search terms. THere's an optional description field you see after upload, which is a little confusing. | 06:36 |
| newz2000 | oh. Flickr resized the images to 1024px wide max. :-( | 06:38 |
| newz2000 | Anyone here use the art.ubuntu website yet? | 06:39 |
| lllmanulll | Huh, yup | 06:41 |
| newz2000 | do the images, once approved or whatever get moved to the aup site for long-term storage, or do they have to permanantly resized somewhere else? | 06:42 |
| lllmanulll | Hmm, seems they do get transferred | 06:44 |
| newz2000 | ok. That's good. | 06:44 |
| lllmanulll | You can tell by trying to download a wallpaper and see where it comes from | 06:44 |
| newz2000 | Ah. | 06:44 |
| lllmanulll | (Seems to come from art.ubuntu.com) | 06:44 |
| newz2000 | Here, check these out: http://www.bearfruit.org/images/VijayKishan/ | 06:44 |
| lllmanulll | Looks great | 06:47 |
