[12:06] Burgwork: did you get those four locale screenshots you wanted from elkbuntu yet? [12:08] not yet [12:08] Right. [12:09] She had to go to sleep, and she passed the duty on to me... [12:09] and I had to run off before... [12:09] so I'm working on it now. [12:09] if you can't do it, I will play with it tonight [12:09] She found out that the artwork _is_ different than in Dapper, so it can't be cheated.

[05:18] for the artwork? [05:18] frank already did the background, etc. [05:18] the stuff you asked me for last night? [05:18] yes, the 4 sections in 4 languages I still need [05:19] i may or may nto have misinterpreted what you requested.. i couldnt really ask after you'd gone [05:20] elkbuntu: well, shoot it to me [05:20] email sent now [05:21] or upload it [05:21] i've sent it to your gmail [05:22] you've ended up with french, chinese, russian and arabic. cant get a much more varied selection :) [05:23] that is ok [05:23] btw, arabic is *trippy* to work in.. because *everything* is backwards and you habitually hit the wrong button to cancel ;) [05:24] the composition is ok? [05:24] those are perfect [05:25] the story was.. oo.o adamantly refused to open in chinese or japanese [05:25] in dapper [05:25] the composition of the four is not exaclty what I had in mind [05:25] but I will play with them [05:25] yep, thats why i included the shots [05:26] text is not a great way of trying to portray how you want an image to look [05:26] ;) [05:26] yes [05:27] any other locale based stuff you need? [05:28] nope [05:29] gah, trying todo 3 thing at once [05:29] yeah.. i know that feeling [05:30] im just sorry it took me so long to do those, but nothing wanted to cooperate last night :( [05:33] no worries [05:33] we got lucky, Knot 3 has not been released yet [05:33] btw.. it's Arabic (India), Chinese (China Mainland), French (UTF8), and Russian. [05:33] if you wanted to be specific for th page :) [05:40] also, from my experience, edgy handles swapping and changing locales much better than dapper.. dapper i had to reset the machine between, edgy i havent had to [05:49] elkbuntu: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyEft/Knot3 now [05:50] :) === kostkon [n=kostkon@mr117af.ugrad.abdn.ac.uk] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [05:54] i'll keep those translations on the laptop i guess... they'll be useful another time === zenrox [n=zenrox@pool-71-120-239-162.spknwa.dsl-w.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Starting logfile irclogs/ubuntu-marketing.log === ubuntulog [i=ubuntulo@ubuntu/bot/ubuntulog] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === Topic for #ubuntu-marketing: Welcome to the Ubuntu Marketing Team's channel | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MarketingTeam | UWN #13 is out | Help us write UWN 14 - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue14 | Channel logs at http://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/irclogs/ === Topic (#ubuntu-marketing): set by Burgundavia at Mon Sep 11 04:10:54 2006 [06:37] elkbuntu: thoughts on our Knot 3 page? [06:38] apart from the fact im not a fan of art.. it feels like it's missing stuff.. like.. after the translations or something [06:39] im not sure what though.. [06:41] yes, I don't know that we had more changes? [06:41] Burgundavia, is upstart the only cool change.. [06:41] yep [06:41] and that is not something one takes screenshots of [06:42] true. may be include the logo there for the prettiness factor? [06:42] sure [06:44] eek.. 'incorrect password' message hurts against the new darker login screen [06:47] elkbuntu: can you reshoot the russian image? [06:47] without gimp active? [06:48] sure [06:56] don't forget the new usplashes as well which are new for knot3 [06:57] nixternal: already covered, should move the screenshot [06:58] im done..just waiting for knot 3 to be released now [06:59] in transit, Burgundavia [06:59] cheers [06:59] i hadnt really noticed that it was active until you mentioned it just now [07:00] nor did I [07:05] elkbuntu: got it [07:05] now I wish I had saved that bloody gimp image as something other than a png === elkbuntu comforts Burgundavia. [07:05] i know that feeling oh-so-well [07:07] how do I move a selection in the gimp? [07:08] um... not sure.

[07:15] o.O [07:15] yes [07:15] I hate it === Burgundavia goes stabby on teh gimp [07:16] Madpilot: can you do https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyEft/Knot3?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=languages.png better?

[08:42] funny, I had never heard that until today and now two people mention it to me [08:42] tea does not release as much caffeine as coffee [08:42] elkbuntu: I agree with you on the coffee thing [08:43] Burgundavia, what, London Fog? [08:43] yep [08:44] best thing to come out of the Starbucks-add-steamed-milk-to-everything craze, IMO [08:44] London Fog is great....sprinkle like 2-3 drops on a gallon of Kona coffee [08:45] starbucks isn't tasty..it's convenient [08:45] the coffee that is [08:45] and good value === rjian[O-U-T] [n=rjian_se@203.87.182.102] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [08:46] white chocolate mocha == teh awesomeness [08:46] john_little, starbucks is shite coffee; they over-roast (ie, burn) their beans [08:46] gotta respect a company that can make a tall drink with more fat than a double cheeseburger [08:47] yep...but they're on every corner so I find myself in there more than id like [08:47] i get steamed milk rather than cream ;) [08:48] I drink black americanos..starbucks makes a C grade americano === rjian[O-U-T] [n=rjian_se@203.87.182.102] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [09:00] ok, truly last words (until tomorrow morning) [09:00] moving knot 3 over [09:03] cool [09:03] https://www.ubuntu.com/testing/knot3 [09:03] when is Knot3 being released?

(the page is pulling from the wiki for images) [09:06] i noticed that, ok i'll fix it [09:06] it might mean the cascade goes the other way though [09:07] hmm, that is no good [09:07] well, lets see [09:07] yep, gimme a min === elkbuntu pokes the wiki with a pointy stick [09:13] well there you go, doesnt look quite as 3d anymore but oh well [09:14] elkbuntu: that is great [09:14] thanks so much for your hard work [09:14] :) you sleep well now [09:14] we should probably put the standard footer on that page, listing people and then the marketing team, rather than me [09:14] I will do that tomorrow [09:15] i dont think therei s any real need [09:16] I do [09:16] because unlike when mgalvin did it, these are much more team efforts [09:18] up to you [09:19] need sleep - night, all [09:19] cya Madpilot === rjian[O-U-T] [n=rjian_se@203.87.182.102] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === jenda [n=jenda@ubuntu/member/jenda] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === rjian214 [n=rjian_se@203.87.182.102] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === mindspin [n=mindspin@pD95FDF60.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === jenda [n=jenda@ubuntu/member/jenda] has joined #ubuntu-marketing === MenZa [n=menza@0x535de899.kd4nxx12.adsl-dhcp.tele.dk] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [11:16] I was so sorry that noone responded to my email that I did it myself.
