troy_sgreetz kwwii_ -- ltns05:26
kwwii_hey troy_s, wassup?05:26
troy_sUsual fuddle.05:26
troy_sYourself?05:26
kwwii_well, theoretically, I am on vacation in america05:27
troy_sAhh...05:27
troy_sDoing what?05:27
kwwii_practically, I am working on the login screen05:27
kwwii_:-)05:27
troy_s(Did you know that Xara .7 now has rough SVG import in place?)05:27
troy_sWhy in america?05:28
kwwii_troy_s: well, I was born here, and my family is here05:28
troy_sAh, now I get it.05:28
kwwii_so I am here with my wife and son (at my Moms' place now)05:28
kwwii_not too much of a vacation really05:28
troy_sIndeed.05:28
kwwii_it ends up being more work than fun05:28
kwwii_I really wish I could build xara on my ppc05:29
troy_sWell I have been busy too, trying to hook up with fschoep has been rather like juggling chainsaws.05:29
kwwii_I am seriously thinking about buying another laptop (intel this time) to run linux on05:29
kwwii_hehe05:29
troy_sXara runs terrific on my box... even in 32 bit emul mode.05:29
kwwii_I will be seeing him in a few days, I guess that is why he is offline now05:29
troy_sI am bumping to the 4x4 in a month or so...05:30
troy_sX2 now with 4 gigs of ram.05:30
kwwii_the developer sprint tends to be a lot of work05:30
kwwii_hehe, killer05:30
troy_sGoing to quad quad amd when it is released.05:30
troy_sDev sprint with no sabdfl though...05:31
kwwii_really?05:31
kwwii_wow, that should be somewhat different05:31
troy_sWell you are talking about the sprint right?05:31
kwwii_yepp05:31
troy_sI don't think he hits those... only the release ones.05:31
troy_sBut I might be wrong.05:31
kwwii_he was at the last one, and he was very active05:31
troy_sHrm... where is the wiki link -- he is usually listed on them no?05:32
kwwii_at that time I still had no idea that there was a wiki :p05:32
troy_sWell hopefully Frank will keep the torch burning.05:36
troy_sMy bloody email has finally quieted down for a week thanks to Frank being in deep.05:37
troy_s;)05:37
kwwii_hehe05:37
troy_sHopefully Frank will get the Proposal close doc officially announced.05:38
kwwii_next week should solidify things a lot05:39
troy_sYes, we have been flurrying emails when we can.05:40
troy_sHrm... mdz is here I see.05:40
troy_sInteresting.05:40
troy_sHow goes the Kubuntu related things?  Slow?05:41
kwwii_well, on the stuff that I have done, things are going well...what we really need so more community contributions05:42
kwwii_s/so/is05:42
troy_sWell you won't get it without stimulating it.05:42
troy_sSimple byproduct of critical mass theory.05:43
troy_sDo you have a wiki page with the updated bits on it?05:44
kwwii_pretty much everything is on the exitsting wiki page...right now I have limited internet access so I'll be uploading the kdm and buttons sometime within a couple of days05:45
kwwii_I guess you mean that I should increase the emails to the list concerning kubuntu?05:45
kwwii_I was kinda trying to avoid using the list too much, as it seemed that we wanted to stick to the wiki for that kind of stuff05:46
troy_sNaw... it really is an announcement venue -- I would utilize it and lead the troops that are out there.05:46
troy_sWe have quite a few contributors, and a simple request note could very well generate some response, especially if it is well timed.05:47
kwwii_I actually did send some emails with info and asking for contribution when I updated the wiki pages05:47
troy_sJmak and who to say the least have been very productive.05:48
troy_sI am hoping that Frank's roll in for Production will be explanatory enough to constrain the elements.05:48
kwwii_true, and I asked who to help with kubuntu but it seems he doesn't want to05:48
troy_sHrm... did he mail to that effect?05:48
troy_sObviously time constraints impact everyone.05:48
kwwii_nope05:48
kwwii_I thought about taking some of his stuff, playing with it a bit and then ask for his help :-)05:49
troy_sI have been sending him a plethora of my reference library stuffs.05:49
troy_sProbably a good way to go about it :)05:49
troy_sI have some wonderful palettes that I need to XCF too... Mr. Krause's work05:49
troy_svery skilled fellow that guy... I guess that explains his publishing record.05:49
kwwii_hehe05:50
troy_sHave some pretty interesting ideas for a campaign, but still needs development.  Hopefully I can find enough time between now and the next Summit.05:51

troy_sAre you familiar with any of the design movements?05:51
kwwii_I have been staying on top of the ubuntu stuff as well, yeah05:52
kwwii_not quite sure I agreed with some of the GTK stuff, but otherwise it is coming along nicely05:52
troy_sWhat GTK stuff... must have missed it.05:53
kwwii_the widget stuff05:53
troy_sThe single man flailfest?05:53
troy_sOh god... yeah.05:53
troy_sI don't think anyone is really paying too much attention.05:53
kwwii_but I really wish that kubuntu had that many people working on it05:53
kwwii_it would really make things easier for me :p05:54
troy_sYou familiar with lissitzky05:54
troy_swell you need to stimulate it really... give the folks the architecture.05:54
kwwii_I guess I was not used to juggling doing the artwork and coordinating it from a community standpoint05:55
troy_sSuprematism / Lissitzky?05:56
kwwii_nope05:56
troy_sWow.05:56
troy_sVery amazing fellow... you should google him.05:56
troy_s1919 and his stylistic cleavings still have leverage on contemporary design.05:56
kwwii_wikipedia, gotta love it05:57
kwwii_sounds very interesting05:57
troy_sHeavy avant garde fellow... but I am thinking it would quite remarkable and distinct to base a 'campaign' on stylistic tendencies of certain periods.05:58
troy_sVery interesting, and it would probably go a long way to attracting more artists.05:58
troy_sThere must be a wikipedia page on suprematism no?05:59
kwwii_reading it now05:59
troy_sWow.05:59
kwwii_das zielbewute Schaffen05:59
troy_sThey don't have the damn wedge work from lissitzsky though... sort of a classic in the genre.05:59
kwwii_killer06:00
troy_sAmazing stuff eh?06:00
troy_sYou found his wedge?  I bet google has it...06:01
troy_shttp://images.google.ca/images?hl=en&hs=9Sa&client=firefox&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&sa=N&resnum=0&q=lissitzky%20wedge&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&tab=wi06:01
troy_sA truly remarkable artist.06:01
kwwii_wow06:02
kwwii_yeah, amazing06:02
kwwii_killer06:02
troy_sIf the marketing team were at a decent level, it would be an interesting venture.06:04
troy_sCombine the various movements with the notions that they implied, and draw an Ubuntu analogy to each.06:04
kwwii_hehe06:05
troy_sI think it would make for a distint and striking series of posters.06:05
troy_sHave a Dada, Suprematism, Cubist, etc.06:06
kwwii_yeah06:06
kwwii_no doubt06:06
troy_shttp://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/digitized_collections/lissitzky/5_theories/images/Liss037L.jpg06:07
troy_sYou could probably take that lissitzsky somewhere... ;)06:07
kwwii_no doubt06:08
troy_sWow... wikepedia even has some of his personal letters to folks... very nifty.06:09
kwwii_I really love it06:11
kwwii_ok, gonna do some work now06:16
