lukacuyeah ... hope somebody will assemble meeting minutes too12:03
mhzlukacu: my only 2 cents would be we base a structure similar to artnay's regarding wiki12:03
mhzbut12:04
mhzyou all could agree on the 'areas' wiki needs to be structured12:04
mhzI already know we want every flavour artwork to be easily indentified12:04
lukacuok12:05
mhzbut the main need in order to work on a wiki structure is to know exactly how many areas we need to cover (example: every flavour artwork will have: *Logo, *Documentation *Wallpapers *Themes *Backgrounds, etc)12:05
mhzAT this very moment, we can't do what artnay wants (it's a very ggod idea but not possible yet) to have the 'grep -i' thing12:06
mhzso, unfortunately, RecentChanges will list each change made to ANY page or team page12:07
mhzHowever, we can encourqage people who are interested on getting news fro art or contributing to it, to subscribe to pages12:07
mhzand they 'll get email notification per change12:08
mhzincluding a nice text diff and the user who did such change12:08
mhzlukacu: again, sorry, I have to leave. I'll keep this box open though in case I come to a solution in this family thing12:09
lukacuok ... no problem mhz12:09
lukacui hope you will solve the problems12:09
mhz_idlemee too12:09

artnayklep[a] s: will you discuss about the communication issue with canonical?11:06
artnaywe didn't make much decisions yesterday (wait, it was today), it was quite a mess :o11:06
artnaybut at least we agreed to have that unified wiki structure. although nobody promised to take care of Kub... and Xub...11:08
artnayif we get /UbuntuArtwork right, I guess people might be interested to have similiar page for their favourite *buntu. so, did we promise to have /UbuntuArtwork done within five days? :)11:09
artnayI'm quite disappointed that there wasn't much Artwork Team members online11:11
manickahmmm, as someone new to the team, I found the meeting quite hard to follow11:14
manickato many individual agendas11:14
artnaymanicka: it was, some people didn't follow the agenda11:15
manickaagreed11:15
manickayou did your best though11:15
manicka:)11:15
artnaywell I can't say so... I was on the verge of being late...11:15
artnayso I wasn't properly prepared11:15
artnaysorry for that11:16
manickamaybe some stricter meeting guidelines would help11:16
manickaone person directing the meeting and sticking to the agenda religously11:17
manickajust a thought11:17
artnayI was surprised to see which topics people discussed11:17
artnayI mean, it's ok to raise some issues above others. still /Artwork and the context behind that is the 1st priority11:18
artnayit's something we depend on11:18
artnayorganized place for information11:18
artnaythere are lots of artists around the ubuntu community, we'd need them to use wiki11:20
artnayI think that's the only reasonable way to co-operate on artwork11:21
manickasorry, I was daydreaming11:27
artnaythat's quite common11:28
manickaI agree, the wiki needs to be the focus for organisation11:28
manickabut in such a format 11:28
manickathat is useable by the team11:28
manickamoin moin can be difficult for some to get the hang of11:29
artnaynot just the artwork team, anyone who visits /Artwork should get a clear picture what's happening, how can one contribute and visitors have to find necessary guides to do things11:29
manickayes, agreed11:29
manickaif we get the ubuntu part right and functioning effectively, the others (kubuntu etc) should follow suit11:30
=== ..[topic/#ubuntu-artwork:artnay] : Next Artwork Team meeting will be on the 5th of January, UTC 23.00. - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork
manickahehe, I'll be in fiji for that one11:31
artnaymanicka: I think that will get done quite automatically if just get the Ubuntu part done right11:31
manickayes11:31
artnayas you said :)11:31
artnayanyways, have you identified to NickServ? freenode almost requires that11:32
manickayes11:32
artnayI hope we're able to raise the communication issue in the next CC11:33
manickaI'm a regular on lots of other channels11:33
klep[a] shi you two :)11:33
=== klep[a] s is now known as klepas
manickanot sure when the next cc will be11:33
artnayhey klepas 11:34
manickawiki says sometime in January11:34
manickahi klepas11:34
artnaymanicka: that's quite late, don't you think?11:34
klepasi've just gone through what the two of you talked about before i joined11:34
artnayklepas: don't forget to read the meeting log, too11:35
klepasi'm sorry that the meeting was so disorganised11:35
klepasartnay: i know, i'm writing the minutes11:35
artnayhttp://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct11:35
artnayThat collaboration depends on good relationships between developers.11:35
manickathe next cc meeting was due for next week but it doesn't look like that will happen11:36
artnayand currently we don't have much relations to canonical...11:36
klepasthat is something i am going to clean up11:36
manickahave many in the artwork team signed the CoC?11:36
klepasno point putting a lot of effort into something that won't be used11:37
artnaymanicka: only a few AFAIK11:37
klepasmanicka: i have not as of yet :)11:37
klepasi will when i apply for membership11:37
manickait's a fairly painless process11:37
klepasyea11:37
manickaand shows the cc/developers etc that you are on board... so to speak11:38
klepasi will be sharing my public keys at keysigning at LCA [http://lca2006.linux.org.au/] 11:38
klepasyep11:38
klepasmanicka: i want to sign it along with my membership11:38
manickahmm, fair enough11:39
klepasbut i am afraid i have not been been around long enough.11:39
klepasso it might take a little longer11:39
artnayMembers of the Ubuntu community need to work together effectively, and this code of conduct lays down the "ground rules" for our cooperation.11:39
klepasbut in the meantime, signed or unsigned i'm following the CoC. :)11:40
manickaI often wonder what the definition of 'long enough' is to the cc11:40
klepasartnay: once the meeting minutes are finished, where ought I stick them on the wiki?11:40
klepassomewhere under /Artwork/Meetings11:40
artnayklepas: yeah, and a link to that at News section of /Artwork11:41
klepasyep11:41
artnaybut we should write a list what we agreed on yesterday11:41
klepasi'm going to spend my late evening and morning on that11:41
klepasyep11:41
artnaycan you do that as well?11:42
artnayI'm supposed to do some other work meanwhile :p11:42
klepascooperatively11:42
klepasyea11:42
klepaswhich list in particular?11:42
artnaylist of things that were discussed and what we decided11:43
klepasoh11:43
klepasso essentially minutes?11:43
artnaysort of11:43
artnaywe should also publicize a log of that meeting11:44
klepasyep11:44
klepasi can do that too11:44
klepasi'll start working on the wiki tomorrow11:44
artnayyou know where to find them?11:44
klepasyep11:44
klepassure do11:44
artnayI thought so11:44
klepas~fabbione/logs11:44
artnaywe witnesses yesterday that people haven't read /Artwork11:45
artnay-s+d11:45
artnayso that would be a requirement before attending the next meeting11:45
klepasyep11:46
manickagood idea11:46
artnayonly that way we can keep the discussion more organized11:46
manickaagreed11:47
klepasi think before the next meeting we need to select someone amongst ourselves (think maurico, lukacu, yourselves and maybe even i) to steer the meeting along the agenda11:47
klepaswhich i will write up separately11:47
klepasbased upon /Artwork11:47
klepasalso, i'd really appreciate maurico's moin wiki tutorial right now11:48
klepasbecause i'm going to have to stick to the simple stuff otherwise =\11:48
artnayI tried to create some discussion yesterday but I wasn't pleased about the results11:48
artnayat first I thought you and mhz couldn't attend for some reason11:48
klepassorry, mum woke me up11:48
artnayso I was like "whaaaaat is this" :)11:48
klepasi set my alarm clock to 9:3011:49
klepasand i turned it off, and dozed again ;)11:49
klepasmum came in and told me i am missing my meeting11:49
artnayduh!11:49
artnayI did the same to my both alarm clocks this morning11:49
klepasmums are great11:49
artnayok, so "stfu and keep on agenda" in the next meeting11:52
artnaywhat's not marked into agenda can be discussed on this channel11:52
klepasyes11:53
klepasor proposed in the end if we have time11:53
klepasfrankly at this point we are so poorly disorganised that discussing individual artwork is not and cannot be on the agenda11:53
klepaswe need to fix the way the art team works first11:53
artnayI thought that was quite clear11:53
klepasobviously not11:54
manickato some11:54
klepaslike you mentioned earlier, some people did not even glance at /Artwork11:54
artnayyeah, never under- or overestimate people11:54
klepasexpect the unexpected?11:54
klepas:)11:54
klepasanyhow11:54
klepasi could do with some help11:54
klepasto start this artwork thing11:54
klepascould you make /Artwork not point to the proposal11:54
klepasbut to an empty page11:55
artnayklepas: ask mhz to do that11:55
klepaswhich I would be happy to start upon in a few hours time11:55
artnayI actually placed it as /Artwork a long time ago11:55
klepasreason i ask is because i wouldn't know how ;)11:55
klepasAlrighty, i'll give Maurico a buzz11:55
artnaybut it was so disorganized then so mhz had to redirect it11:55
artnayhey lllmanulll 11:55
klepasi'll be back in a few minutes11:56
artnayand one thing we have to make clear is the co-operation with desktop team11:58
artnayI know we're doing duplicate work11:58
artnayand with current resources, that shouldn't happen11:58
artnayhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam - take a look at their purpose & vision11:59
artnayArtwork Team was the first one to do some of those tasks, but as it failed before breezy, Desktop Team was formed12:00
artnayhttp://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=10702212:03
artnaywe should try to answer some basic questions12:03
klepasi'm going to have to come back later12:16
klepasneeded offline12:16
klepasbe back in about an hour-ish :)12:16

artnayso what are your thoughts on the meeting?01:12
artnaylllmanulll: aren't you involved in desktop team as well? do you have any idea what the DT purpose & vision means?01:13
manickamy thoughts?01:13
artnaymanicka: yours too :)01:14
manickamy thoughts, well I've already mentioned that many didn't seem to be aware of the agenda and this resulted in general mayhem01:16
manickabut generally01:16
manickathe things I was looking for didn't come out in the meeting that I could see01:16
manickawhat is the groups purpose01:17
artnaymanicka: what are you looking for?01:17
manickahow does it function01:17
manickahow can people contribute effectively01:17
manickaare the groups efforts effective in the grand scheme of things01:17
manicka???01:17
manickathe wiki discussion was a good start01:19
manickabut needs more work01:19
manickasomething to present at the mext meeting should clarify the wiki discussion better01:20
klepasmanicka: that is the idea01:20
klepasartnay, mhz and i will work on the wiki01:20
klepasAndy Fitzsimon, lukacu and I will report on AUC01:21
klepasi might even set up a CMS on my local server and then open some ports for you lot to take a look at a proposed CMS for AUC01:21
klepasand generally get the organisation and facilities to produce art back up01:21
klepasand then we're going to pull out the gimp and inkscape :)01:22
manickasounds good..... like a purpose is developing01:22
lllmanulllartnay : yep, i'm part of the desktop team01:22
manickaa better organised and tighter run meeting should make all this clearer01:22
lllmanulllartnay I believe its goal is to give the best polish for our distribution01:23
manickaanyway guys, I'm stuffed .... late night here, I'm turning in01:23
klepasmanicka: i think you can rest assured that at least those here now as well as mhz and lukacu will make sure of a smoother meeting01:23
klepasmanicka: farewell01:23
lllmanulllartnay Such as usability...01:24
manickaciao all01:24
=== manicka zZzzz....
artnaylllmanulll: isn't there a11y for that? :)01:24
artnayif desktop team wants their part of this, they have to tell what they want to do01:24
artnayotherwise they have to redirect people to get involved in artwork team01:24
artnaydupe work is out of question now, we have so many things to do even without duplicate projects01:25
lllmanulllartnay Desktop team takes care of code, not artwork01:32
lllmanulllartnay : accessibility and usability are two very different problems :)01:34
artnayoh, I misread... anyways, Desktop Team wants some flash factor01:41
artnay"We, the DesktopTeam will be the guys that are the first contact for new users, we will create, beautify and organise the most-visible parts of Ubuntu."01:41
artnaynow what are the most-visible parts of Ubuntu?01:41
lllmanulllWell, but at least the artwork team doesn't take care of code, so I don't think there will be any duplicate work :)01:45
artnayhttp://sven.gimp.org/gimp-2.2.10-splash-contest+ixyx_v0.2b.png01:51

lllmanulll!01:51
lllmanulllIs it the winner ?01:51
lllmanulllWhy does it stop at 30 years ? :-p01:52
artnaythat's a good question01:52

mhzartnay: i have a raw propsal for wiki structure04:19
artnaymhz: and I have nothing new04:33
artnaymhz: shall we make a proposal page? :)04:33
=== mhz is saving it :)
artnayI've been thinking those artwork .debs04:37
artnayif they are metapackages, it's rather hard to remove (purging) them04:37
artnayaptitude would check the dependencies but majority of people use plain apt-get04:38
artnayapt -D might do something04:38
artnayI'm no expert, therefore we should ask packagers opinion04:38
artnaywould there be only one big pack available?04:40
artnayapt is ok but far from perfect04:40
mhzartnay: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtWorkWikiStructureProposal04:41
artnayI think we don't need separate our proposals04:42
artnayas we three all use IRC, it's pretty easy to discuss here04:43
artnayso let's have one common proposal, let's discuss about it in here and then edit it04:43
artnaydoes that sound better to you?04:43
mhzyup04:44
artnaydo we have to separate people between the projects?04:44
artnaycan't we have one common contact page and interests listed after name?04:44
mhzbut as w hadnt agreed on that, and in case we cant discuss soem stuff (IRC timings)... I am not sure if remving it is god idea04:44
artnaywe can even split the names between the projects on one page04:45
artnayI know that's against "let's split subjects based on *buntu flavour", but some things should be kept simple04:45
mhzartnay: I feel that having a 'heading' for each project/pet project is more efficient so visitors can exactly know who t contact04:46
artnaymhz: that's true, it should be clear to others. but we can link to only one contact page under every /*buntuArtwork04:47
mhzand having (parenthesis + interests)  forces people t read each line04:47
mhzartnay: 'contact' sure!04:47
artnaybut the status page for project could include members involved04:47
artnayso it would separate more efficiently04:48
artnayand then we would have this one common contact page04:48
mhzartnay: and how do you imagine the 'status page' to look and make it look like it?04:48
artnaywell it should list the current status, current default artwork related to that project, members who involved in it, dependencies to other projects, deadline, current issues, links to other related sites (inside ubuntu wiki) and on the bottom of all, links to external sites (guides etc.)04:50
artnayI think that should cover pretty much the needed information04:50
artnayand *buntuProjectArtworkDiscussion for free discussion/WIP artwork04:51
mhzartnay: yes, but how do you imagine it 'making it look like that', from a wiki perspective? How are you planning to optimize editing to it?04:51
artnayit should be based on clear subtopics and TOC04:52
artnayoptimize? what do you mean?04:52
mhzoptimize = who will keep record/log of the status in order to edit, how will the status look? (table?, lists?)04:54
artnaythat would require people who are involved in that project to keep it up-to-date04:55
artnayI'm not sure how the layout should be done, but I'm pretty sure we can come up with something04:55
artnayI'm sorry, I'm in a hurry now04:56
artnayI'll be back in 30 minutes04:56
artnaybye mhz and thanks for helping us :)04:56
