Kwiathi there01:56
Kwiatid like to offer my help in regard to graphic design tasks01:57
Kwiatperhaps you got a little interesting task for me?01:57
artnayhey Kwiat 02:00
artnayactually we all are waiting for tasks to be given02:00
artnayKwiat: have you taken a look at wiki?02:00
artnayanyways, I'd suggest to start with that02:00
=== lukacu [n=lukacu@cpe-213-157-253-211.dynamic.amis.net] has joined #ubuntu-artwork
artnayAndyFitz: so, new icons? ;)02:01
artnayhi lukacu 02:01
lukacuhi02:01
Kwiatyou're all waiting?02:01
Kwiatthere should be a plenty of tasks to work on02:02
artnayKwiat: well we all can go ahead and do whatever we want to02:02
Kwiatthats nice02:02
artnaybut there's no guarantee it will ever make into "ubuntu artwork"02:02
AndyFitzyeah.  hang tight on my involvement ( I know I'm pissing people off .. sorry  i'll hurry )  02:02
Kwiatartnay: mh, who decides that?02:02
artnaywe've been asking for a branding guide that canonical was supposed to publicize02:02
AndyFitzartnay,  will get back on here for news 02:02
artnaybut there's no word on that (for last, umh, half a year)02:03
Kwiatf.e. how was decision made to include a new standard wallpaper in breezy badger?02:03
artnayKwiat: canonical devs are responsible for what is being included in the default cd media02:03
AndyFitzheh i'll see if I can ask that tomorrow  ( maybe  I get to talk to mark   at this conference I'm at 02:04
artnayand mark s. has the final word to be said02:04
AndyFitzartnay  if I get a change i'll winge / ask 02:04
artnayKwiat: no idea. AFAIK, it wasn't public02:04
AndyFitzciao mate  I've got to get to bed  its 2am02:04
Kwiatartnay: thanks02:04
artnayAndyFitz: it would be nice if you guys could urge canonical devs in this matter02:04
AndyFitzwill pimp hard as I can   night 02:04
=== AndyFitz [n=andy@202.53.187.9] has left #ubuntu-artwork []
artnaywe really need to get this going and I see progress unless somebody tells what should be done. we need to focus on some things02:05
artnaysee no progress...02:05
Kwiatartnay: could it be that just someone submitted the wallpaper to gnomeArt and it was chosen by someone at canonical?02:05
artnayKwiat: I don't think so02:05
artnayI mean, flight 3 had some graphical changes02:05
Kwiatso someone inside canonical did it?02:05
artnaybut I haven't been able to find any information how they got included02:06
Kwiatmh02:06
artnayI've looked at several MLs and wiki pages02:06
artnayKwiat: I guess some canonical dev did it02:06
Kwiatmh, ok02:06
artnaysame thing with the notification bubble (which I considered as a joke)02:06
artnayjust like the Usplash screen before the first flight02:06
artnayyou all know the notorious nofitication bubble, right? ;)02:07
artnayhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperFlight302:07
artnayScreenshot 7: New Restart Notification Bubble02:07
artnaythat came out of blue, I could say02:08
artnaywell one should be a full-time developer in order to be up-to-date with dapper info02:08
Kwiatihhh02:08
Kwiatlooks ugly02:08
artnayit does02:09
Kwiatnever seen it before02:09
artnayso I naturally thought it was a joke02:09
artnayhere's people bashing it big time: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=11862602:09
Kwiatmy breezy badger release doesn't seem to have this one02:09
Kwiatmy bubble always looks quite simple02:09
artnayno, it's included in dapper02:09
Kwiatfor god's sake02:09
artnaythere's lots of things in dapper that artwork team should focus on02:10
artnayfor instance that notification bubble should be included in ArtworkTodoList02:10
Kwiatwell we should better stay with badger if this bubble would make it into dapper02:11
artnayhehe ;)02:11
Kwiati agree02:11
Kwiatwhere's this artworktodolist you mentioned to find?02:11
artnaybut klepas told be he would discuss about this issue at LCA02:12
artnayhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTodoProposal02:12
artnayoh, four votes for the meeting date... that will do ;)02:12
artnayplease people, keep wiki updated02:13
artnayI'm not able to do that at the moment as my machines are fcuked up02:13
Kwiatim on this wikipage right now02:13
Kwiatwell interesting02:14
Kwiatis anyone allowed to add some suggestions and ideas?02:15
artnaytake your time with wiki, although it's not official what you find there02:15
artnayKwiat: sure, that's mostly my ideas/comments there02:15
artnayfeel free to register and edit when needed02:15
Kwiatnice02:16
artnayit's sad that we haven't even be able to create discussion on those topics02:16
Kwiatare you some kinda admin round here?02:16
artnaynot an admin, not a ubuntu member, just a user that is interested in helping ubuntu a way or another02:18
Kwiatweee, youre from finland02:18
Kwiatthats nice02:18
artnayand I thought artwork, translation and documentation could be areas where I'd be able to help02:18
Kwiati planned to go there on vacation in a few years02:18
artnayone tip, take your trip here in july02:19
artnayor if you want snow and some minus degress, my bet would be january or february02:19
Kwiat:D02:19
Kwiatjuly - there would be quite a lot of mosquitos around i guess?02:20
Kwiatdue to the fact of lakes everywhere02:20
artnaydepends on where you go. in southern finland it's warm and lots of beautiful women02:20
artnaybut if you go north, you'll meet mosquitos02:20
artnaynorth is great in wintertime, lots of snow and some pretty decent hills02:21
artnayanyways, I have to get going soon02:22
Kwiatleaving this channel?02:23
artnayI remember when I first interested in ubuntu artwork, there really wasn't any information available02:23
Kwiator what did you mean?02:23
artnayno, 24/7 here (screen)02:23
artnayI'll leave the keyboard ;)02:23
Kwiat:D02:24
Kwiatok02:24
Kwiatsome years ago02:24
artnaysince that things haven't changed much. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork - http://art.ubuntu.com - https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art and http://www.ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=16 are the main resources02:24
Kwiati had the same problems as you finding something to work on related to gnome02:24
artnaywe're quite disorganised at the moment (it's a pity), but it's great if you're willing to help02:25
Kwiati worked with some other guys on the last update of art.gnome.org02:25
artnayI don't use GNOME that much, only on laptop (occasionally)02:25
Kwiati sketched out the concept of the menu structure and did a little help02:25
Kwiatoh wel02:25
artnayKDE for me ;)02:25
Kwiatwhat else do you use?02:25
Kwiatah ok02:25
Tm_TKDE <302:25
Kwiatyou're more on the kubuntu-site?02:26
artnayand what else? XFCE, E17 and fluxbox02:26
=== Tm_T is testing pekwm atm
Kwiatok02:26
artnayKwiat: not actually, I'm interested in both02:26
Kwiatxfce is fast, isnt it?02:26
Kwiatdidnt checked it out for myself so far02:26
artnayit is02:26
Kwiatgotta test this02:26
Tm_Tsucky, pypanel seems to be unworking in dapper02:27
artnayalthough I'm a KDE user, I'm all into human theme02:27
Kwiatwhats your distribution of choice?02:27
Kwiatubuntu?02:27
artnayubuntu, suse and debian, gentoo didn't impress me that much02:27
artnayred hat 5.2 back in -99 (if I remember correctly), that was my first take02:27
Kwiatred hat was my first take, too02:28
artnaynow I'm on the verge of trying the latest fedora02:28
Kwiatgot it from a magazine's cover02:28
artnayI bought one02:28
Kwiatthese were the days of modems ;)02:28
artnayand ISDN connections... and catastrophal phone bills02:28
Kwiatdo like ubuntu very much02:28
Kwiatin deed :D02:28
artnayhttp://www.ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=1600 - brown for me02:29
Kwiatperhaps i do like ubuntu just because it was the first time beeing on linux with dls02:29
Kwiatthats your screen?02:30
artnayit WAS02:30
artnaynow the piece of **** will reboot even while in BIOS...02:31
Kwiatas for it was a long-time kde-favoring distrubution, suse should be your choice, should it?02:31
artnaywell it works better than kubuntu02:31
Kwiator how is ubuntu doing with kde running?02:31
artnayit's faster due the optimazions02:31
Kwiatok02:31
Kwiati should go on programming for some time now02:32
artnayubuntu and kde... it's getting better although there were quite big problems with the latest release02:32
Kwiatwell meet here again, soon02:32
artnayyep, take care02:32
Kwiatit was a pleasure02:32
Kwiatyou too02:32
Kwiatbye02:32
artnaybye02:32
artnaywell I'm off as well, bye guys (and please update some wiki pages! :>)02:33

artnayhey05:43
artnaydesktop team05:43
artnaydamn laptop ;(05:43
artnayanyways, desktop teams ML seems o have some artwork related topics, be sure to take a look at it05:43
artnayhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2006-January/thread.html05:44
artnayto quote henrik: "IMHO several of the default 05:46
artnayGnome themes should be retired"05:46
artnayok guys, I just had a chat with some canonical devs06:19
artnayit seems that there actually is not any experts doing a new icon set for dapper06:19
lukacu:)06:19
artnayand there are no plans. if we want something to happen, lets get it going06:19
artnayso, comment like crazy those topics on ArtworkTodoList06:20
artnaythis is something we should bring on when the meeting takes place06:20
artnaywe have something like 45-50 days remaining06:21
lukacuand the meeting is on february 2nd?06:21
artnayseems so06:21
artnaywiki has to be updated asap06:21
artnayshall we make a new wiki page for icon set?06:22
lukacuyes :)06:22
artnaymy suggestion would be using andys earlier icon sets and combining tango with ubuntu palette06:22
artnayanybody could contribute there06:23
artnaybut the license would be a problem. it has to be CC-SA 2.5 and andys icons are GPL06:23
artnaybut he is such a nice guy that he will most probably give a permission/relicense06:23
lukacu:)06:24
artnayhumility was nice, although device icons have to be reworked06:24
lukacuwhere can we get those iconsets?06:24
artnaybut then, tango is using quite nice device icons06:24
lukacuthe old ones06:24
artnayhow about giving some ubuntu palette to those?06:24
artnayumh, I might have them on my HD06:24
artnayon my primary desktop which is currently unfunctional :)06:24
lukacuwe need a repository then06:25
artnayandy has those06:25
artnaythe /msg I got was pretty much "we do not have any guidelines to be given. create what you can and then show it us"06:26
artnayoh, one thing. it has to be brown06:27
artnay;)06:27
lukacuthats ok ... the importiant thing is that there are no pros working on this project06:28
artnayI will update some wiki pages now06:28
artnayyou mean experts?06:28
lukacuwell ... yes 06:28
artnay:)06:28
artnaywell I have seen lots of good artwork contributions here and there06:29
artnayit it just so disorganized06:29
lukacuyes ... we need a repository :D06:29
artnayfor what?06:29
lukacufor icons :)06:29
artnaywe have wiki for unfinished work (take the same approach as tango has) and AUC for material that is considered to be published06:30
lukacuum ... i am not sure that the wiki is the best solution for that06:31
artnayneither I am06:31
lukacufor sn individual it is ok06:31
lukacudamn ... no 'sn'06:31
lukacu:)06:31
artnaywhat are you thinking? cvs?06:31
lukacuor svn06:31
artnayyeah, I get your point06:33
artnayanyways, first we should see what andy has done so far06:33
artnaycreate teams for each topic, have people to focus on these issues06:33
lukacui am still waiting for klepas to send me that mail about auc :)06:34
lukacuwill be a month now :D06:34
artnay:o06:35
artnayaccording to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTeam, there is at least five people interested in a icon set06:36
artnaya an...06:36
lukacuthere were some people asking about that on ML too06:36
artnayI saw that too06:37
lukacui was unable to give them info about the old iconset ...06:37
lukacuso i am not sure if they are still listening06:38
artnayI will ask andy to upload human and humility somewhere06:39
artnaythey both are based on etiquette which is available at gnome-look.org etc.06:39
artnayanyways, the most important thing is that we need to be able inform others and that one has to be made well06:41
artnayI remember back in breezy dev days when there was not much information on artwork06:41
artnaypeople might think it is taken care of somewhere by some guys...06:42
artnayno, we need to address that there is lots of work to be done and we need ideas, comments and most importantly contributions06:42
artnaythe lack of information, that I consider to be the biggest failure back then06:43
artnayone thing would be writing a thread to ubuntuforums a la "Things YOU can do before dapper hits the mirrors"06:44
artnayto ubuntu art talk section06:44
artnayok, I updated some wiki pages06:54
artnaymy gf is coming this way so I will continue later today or tomorrow at latest06:55
artnaybtw, this is where the current notification bubble is coming: http://www.galago-project.org/news/index.php06:56
artnaythat could be added to TodoList etc.06:56
artnayit is themable from now on, I was just reading the specs...06:57
