[05:14] <adamant1988> hello all
[05:25] <nixternal> bah
[05:26] <adamant1988> my sentiments exactly
[05:26] <adamant1988> 11 1/2 hour work day
[09:18] <adamant1988> hello all.
[09:18] <Madpilot> hi
[09:18] <adamant1988> *sigh* I have to shop for a new computer me thinks.
[09:19] <Madpilot> fun
[09:19] <adamant1988> yeah, I don't want to get one from some place that preinstalls windows though
[09:19] <adamant1988> I want to make sure my new computer is linux compatible
[09:19] <Madpilot> buy parts, assemble your own
[09:20] <adamant1988> takes too long
[09:20] <Madpilot> only way to buy a desktop, I think
[09:20] <adamant1988> no computer stores near by.
[09:20] <Madpilot> mail order is good, take an afternoon to assemble the beast, install Ubuntu on it in less than an hour, done.
[09:20] <adamant1988> i'm thinking i might do system76 and get myself a nice ubuntu system preinstalled =\
[09:21] <adamant1988> but I'm also looking at linspire.
[09:22] <Madpilot> system76 boxes look nice, actually
[09:23] <Madpilot> you looking for desktop or lappie?
[09:23] <darkmatter_> adamant1988, it takes less than an hour to build a box if you've got the time...
[09:23] <adamant1988> a desktop, something with enough power to run XGL
[09:23] <adamant1988> I'll probably end up dual booting two linux distros on it
[09:24] <adamant1988> I'm thinking it'll be any combo of Ubuntu, Suse, and Freespire/Linspire
[09:24] <Madpilot> any of those System76 boxes should handle XGL, I think
[09:25] <adamant1988> Yeah, I imagine.
[09:25] <adamant1988> I used Kororaa on disk
[09:25] <adamant1988> XGL makes a world of difference in the interface.
[09:25] <adamant1988> It's suprising how much of a difference a nice clean look and a snappy gui effect set can do to enhance the experience.
[09:27] <adamant1988> Yeah right now I'm *seriousl* looking at linspire and Ubuntu... both are great IMO... I would say SLED but I think waiting 20 minutes for opera to install from .rpm was enough.
[09:31] <Madpilot> ouch
[09:31] <Madpilot> Ubuntu has Opera in repos now :)
[09:32] <adamant1988> yeah
[09:32] <adamant1988> CNR is the main thing that would have me looking at Linspire
[09:33] <adamant1988> CNR is amazing, it's a little less up to date, but the fact that I can get all the best commercial aps through it says something
[09:33] <adamant1988> including legal dvd playing
[09:38] <adamant1988> I have to test freespires online now... I'll be back momentarily if it works...
[09:42] <adamant1988> well everything appears to be working in this neck of the woods
[09:44] <darkmatter_> running freespire are we??? :P
[09:45] <adamant1988> yep :P
[09:45] <adamant1988> I'm not beyond giving it a shot... I'm a selfish user. As long as something meets my needs I'm happy with it
[09:47] <darkmatter_> lol
[09:47] <darkmatter_> most are that way..
[09:47] <darkmatter_> me.. I'm being the usual me
[09:48] <darkmatter_> currently compiling glscube for a test drive
[09:48] <darkmatter_> :)
[09:48] <adamant1988> haha, I agree with the open source morals and all, but truth be told I like my user friendly apps and interfaces
[09:48] <adamant1988> Oh you HAVE to tell me how GLScube is
[09:48] <adamant1988> I'm very interested in that project.
[09:49] <darkmatter_> lets see.... hmmm... only about 22% of my uby is 'factory'... I'm slipping :P
[09:49] <darkmatter_> I'll tell youy in a bit
[09:49] <darkmatter_> my last dapper install was 8% factory approx
[09:49] <darkmatter_> the rest was all custom builds
[09:50] <adamant1988> haha
[09:50] <darkmatter_> how I hated reinstalling the official release
[09:50] <darkmatter_> I almost cried
[09:50] <adamant1988>  I usually don't mess with stuff from factory conditions much
[09:50] <darkmatter_> all that work.. poof... except for a few debs
[09:50] <adamant1988> unless there is an obviously great benefit for doing it
[09:51] <darkmatter_> so now I'm just going to not do as much updating until I toss my new hardware in
[09:51] <adamant1988> anywho I'm going to go to bed, I' worked 11 1/2 hours today... littttttttle tired.
[09:51] <adamant1988> keep me posted on how the GLScube thing goes, and if it makes life any easier.
[09:51] <adamant1988> :)
[09:52] <darkmatter_> me... I just have this nast addiction to do it yourself software... been using puers waaayyy tro long I guess
[09:52] <adamant1988> gnight
[09:52] <darkmatter_> ok
[09:52] <darkmatter_> night
[12:54] (jenda/#ubuntu-marketing) Should be OK now.
[12:54] (bimberi/#ubuntu-marketing) :)
[12:55] (jenda/#ubuntu-marketing) bimberi: check your LP homepage...
[12:56] <bimberi> lol, onya jenda!
[12:56] <jenda> hehe :)
[12:56] <jenda> I'm awaiting a public stoning for that one.
[12:56] <bimberi> ha, just blame me, i can take it
[12:57] <jenda> I wonder... we'll see how others take it, and if it's bad, I'll pullback :)
[01:00] <bimberi> sure, it was posted on the list and got a couple of 'lol' reactions
[01:00] <bimberi> i'm sure the rest thought, "gawd, what's he on?"
[01:01] <mindspin> yup
[01:01] <bimberi> hehe
[01:01] <bimberi> btw, the arrow 'swoosh' from adamant1988's effort could be a nice alternative
[01:08] <jenda> bimberi: linky?
[01:10] <bimberi> http://www.tikal26.net/ubuntu/logomockup.svg
[01:10] <jenda> ah :)
[01:11] <jenda> you can't see it at the right size.
[01:11] <jenda> But a simple brown globe might be a great emblem
[01:12] <MenZa> I like the idea...
[01:23] <jenda> MenZa, bimberi, check now and tell me which you like more
[01:23] <jenda> + mindspin :)
[01:24] <MenZa> Check what?
[01:25] <mindspin> I like the logo with the arrow very much
[01:25] <MenZa> I don't know.
[01:25] <jenda> LP homepage
[01:25] <MenZa> It's not following the same style as the rest of the logo.
[01:26] <jenda> mindspin: you can't see the arrow in LP - it's only 16*16
[01:26] <jenda> MenZa: that means change colors?
[01:26] <MenZa> jenda: no, the overall style.
[01:26] <jenda> what is the overall style?
[01:26] <MenZa> Could be the glossy bit, could be that outline of the arrow.
[01:26] <jenda> dunno whatcha mean
[01:26] <MenZa> I don't know, but it looks wrong.
[01:26] <jenda> I'm not talking about the arrow
[01:26] <jenda> check you LP homepage.
[01:26] <MenZa> LaunchPad, right.
[01:26] <jenda> The arrow can't be used, because it can't be seen.
[01:26] <MenZa> sec
[01:27] <mindspin> ah, got you but the image looks slightly invisible for me
[01:27] <jenda> I know. I don't know how to change the colors in svg, so I'll hack it in the gimp
[01:27] <MenZa> jenda: use Inkscape.
[01:27] <jenda> No, there are too many objects.
[01:28] <MenZa> Right click an object and use Stroke / Fill or something.
[01:28] <MenZa> I've manipulated Tango icons, trust me.
[01:28] <MenZa> Any number of paths are okay.
[01:28] <jenda> It's impossible. Too many objects to right click.
[01:29] <jenda> You can try, I'll bazaar the globe.
[01:29] <jenda> no, I gotta go now.
[01:29] <jenda> I'll be back in 6 hrs or so.
[01:30] <MenZa> jenda: I'm not on Ubuntu.
[01:30] <MenZa> :P
[01:38] <jenda> MenZa: will you be later tonight?
[01:38] <MenZa> jenda: most likely not.
[01:39] <MenZa> I only have it on my laptop.
[01:39] <MenZa> ;P
[01:40] <jenda> http://doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing/
[01:40] <jenda> there you go
[01:40] <jenda> god bless the docteam ;)
[01:40] <jenda> Bye!
[04:24] <nixternal> mornin'
[04:32] <MenZa> hai.
[06:22] <adamant1988_> hello all
[08:49] <n3storm> hi everyone
[08:49] <jenda> aloha all
[08:49] <jenda> hey n3storm 
[08:50] <nixternal> well hello
[08:50] <n3storm> I have some graphic ideas to spread ubuntu
[08:50] <jenda> great :)
[08:51] <jenda> fire at us
[08:51] <n3storm> I think is time to mix someway the 4 or 5 ubuntu flavours in one
[08:51] <n3storm> ubuntu+kubuntu+xubuntu+edubuntu
[08:52] <jenda> I think 'Ubuntu' does that pretty well... in my eyes the communities are one - Ubuntu.
[08:52] <n3storm> in the ubuntu logo we have 3 forms representing people
[08:53] <n3storm> let me explain the idea
[08:53] <jenda> OK, the UWN has the three mixed together as a logo.
[08:53] <n3storm> is just for tue ubuntu spread
[08:54] <n3storm> what is UWN?
[08:57] <nixternal> ubuntu weekly newsletter
[08:59] <n3storm> I can't see the logo anywhere
[08:59] <n3storm> somebody can point me out the exact url?
[09:03] <jenda> n3storm: look at mgalvin's launchpad page
[09:03] <n3storm> ok
[09:05] <n3storm> Im there
[09:05] <n3storm> you mean the small icon at karma?
[09:05] <jenda> yes
[09:05] <n3storm> yes, I was proposing something like that
[09:05] <jenda> I'm not sure if they use it elsewhere.
[09:05] <n3storm> but applying to the full image of the spread-ubuntu page
[09:07] <jenda> n3storm: do you have a preview somewhere?
[09:07] <jenda> by any chance
[09:07] <n3storm> no
[09:07] <jenda> OK
[09:07] <n3storm> I prefered to check with the people in case I can join
[09:07] <jenda> Well, my personal opinion is that we should keep the ubuntu breath to it.
[09:07] <n3storm> sure
[09:07] <jenda> n3storm: you can always join :)
[09:07] <MenZa> o_o
[09:07] <n3storm> but the blue and blue-gray touches of color
[09:07] <jenda> It's open to designs and ideas
[09:08] <n3storm> I'll make a draft
[09:13] <jenda> great :)
[09:13] <jenda> be sure to mail me the sources to bzr them - or bzr them yourself if you know how.
[09:28] <n3storm> what is your address?
[09:28] <jenda> @ubuntu.com
[09:28] <n3storm> or should I make it in my server
[09:28] <n3storm> ok, thanks
[09:29] <n3storm> jenda: do you have any proposal for the website?
[09:29] <jenda> n3storm: what do you mean?
[09:30] <jenda> There are several so far, have a look here:
[09:30] <jenda> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam/SpreadUbuntu/GraphicalDesignSpec
[09:30] <n3storm> I mean you ;)
[09:30] <n3storm> yes Im there
[09:32] <jenda> Oh OK :)
[09:32] <jenda> I made the last three in the list
[09:53] <n3storm> jenda: ooops
[09:53] <n3storm> I just read about the 12 of july as the deadline
[09:54] <n3storm> I am about to send you my draft in case everybody likes it, can take ideas, etc
[09:54] <n3storm> the svg file
