| popey | did I hear right that someone has arranged for a UK supplier of these things ? --> http://gallery.popey.com/gallery/misc/DSC02315 | 04:49 |
| elkbuntu | popey, try looking on www.system76.com | 04:52 |
| popey | i know about system76 | 04:52 |
| elkbuntu | in the /etc > free stuff section | 04:52 |
| popey | I specifically said UK supplier | 04:52 |
| popey | I thought Mr Revell or Mr bacon had organised something | 04:53 |
| elkbuntu | popey, system76 is branching the sticker distribution out. im the australian supplier | 04:57 |
| popey | oo, excellent news | 04:58 |
| popey | http://www.linuxemporium.co.uk/products/ubuntu_stickers/ appears to be the UK one :) | 04:58 |
| popey | are they the brushed metal ones like in that picture on my gallery? | 04:59 |

| newz2000 | Burgundavia: ping | 08:13 |
| Burgundavia | newz2000: pong | 08:16 |
| newz2000 | Hi Corey, wanted to discuss with you the website | 08:16 |
| newz2000 | Your email had the subject "Major changes to the Ubuntu website..." | 08:17 |
| newz2000 | I think you might have a mis-understanding about what's going on. | 08:17 |
| newz2000 | Even though I'm investing a lot of effort and working hard on it, the end result won't be a "major change" | 08:17 |
| Burgundavia | ok | 08:18 |
| newz2000 | Unless you've heard of something you felt was major and I'm under-estimating in it's amount of impact. | 08:18 |
| Burgundavia | well, I honestly have no idea | 08:18 |
| Burgundavia | you have talked about changes and Riched is talking about changes, but nobody has clearly communicated anything | 08:18 |
| newz2000 | I'm fixing a few visual glitches, changing the tabs across the top, re-orgizing some content. | 08:18 |
| Burgundavia | can you create a wiki page outlining the changes? | 08:19 |
| newz2000 | I'm adding some new features to Moin so we can make forms and get data into/out of a database. | 08:19 |
| Burgundavia | I am also lost as to timeline, etc. | 08:20 |
| Burgundavia | you see, I want to start talking about a new front page, but I honestly don't know whether I should start working on it, or if you have something in the works | 08:20 |
| newz2000 | I've given some ideas and suggestions to the front page, but Mark, Christina (new marketing lady) and artists will do that. | 08:21 |
| newz2000 | If you have some suggestions, I'd suggest mocking them up since Mark is very visual oriented, | 08:21 |
| Burgundavia | you see, that is exactly what I am annoyed about | 08:21 |
| newz2000 | but don't spend too much time until he says to do it. | 08:21 |
| Burgundavia | I am not willing to put a bunch of effort into something until I know that I am not wasting my time | 08:22 |
| newz2000 | Here's what I did: | 08:22 |
| newz2000 | I took a screenshot of the homepage, fixed a few things with the navigation, then did a quick 30 min mockup of my ideas. | 08:22 |
| newz2000 | Just to get discussion started. | 08:22 |
| newz2000 | Mark feels very strongly about the home page, | 08:23 |
| Burgundavia | ok | 08:23 |
| newz2000 | combine that with the fact that he has difficulty describing what he wants sometimes. | 08:23 |
| newz2000 | It will likely get done by someone in close proximity to him. | 08:23 |
| Burgundavia | yes | 08:24 |
| newz2000 | Not that he doesn't know what he wants, but he's not a designer, so he has to communicate that and he'll likely use a whiteboard or pad of paper. | 08:24 |
| Burgundavia | which makes it hard for us non-canonical people to communicate | 08:24 |
| newz2000 | If you have some ideas, by all means, mock them up (quick and rough is fine) and it will help. | 08:24 |
| newz2000 | What are your ideas? | 08:24 |
| Burgundavia | just thinking about layout and amount of verbage | 08:25 |
| Burgundavia | nothing concrete because of my above concerns | 08:25 |
| newz2000 | Well, there will be *much* less content on the homepage | 08:25 |
| Burgundavia | exactly what I am also aiming for | 08:25 |
| newz2000 | A lot of the content on the site is from the early days where they had to pad the site in order to give it some substance. | 08:25 |
| newz2000 | That will be changing in the weeks leading up to edgy. | 08:26 |
| newz2000 | My idea, and probably the area where we (you and I and others like us) have the most opportunity to contribute, | 08:27 |
| newz2000 | is likely what you discussed with Rich. There will be portal pages targeting specific types of users, i.e. education. | 08:27 |
| Burgundavia | yes, rich and I discussed that | 08:27 |
| newz2000 | These will be a "landing page" where people who fit a particular area of focus can find everything they need. | 08:28 |
| Burgundavia | back in a flash | 08:28 |
| newz2000 | ok | 08:28 |
| nixternal | hiya newz2000! | 08:33 |
| nixternal | keeping you busy i see ;) | 08:33 |
| newz2000 | nixternal: howdy! | 08:34 |
| newz2000 | I'm keeping busy. Coding in moin this week. | 08:34 |
| nixternal | fun | 08:35 |
| newz2000 | I assume you've got all the fun you can handle too? | 08:35 |
| nixternal | you got that right | 08:35 |
| nixternal | i need to start hacking around on the Drupal page for Chicago again | 08:35 |
| newz2000 | I'm going to try out drupal soon, not this weekend, maybe next though. | 08:36 |
| nixternal | i have been hacking around with my blog a little bit...trying out some new stuff...the documentation killed me this go round | 08:36 |
| nixternal | drupal, truthfully...doesn't do it for me | 08:36 |
| newz2000 | what are you hoping to do? | 08:36 |
| nixternal | i only used it because of a recommendation, and hte theme hack was easy ;) | 08:36 |
| nixternal | im going to leave the content the same with the site, i just want to get more involvement from the group on the site somehow..and the current controls limit that really | 08:37 |
| nixternal | the current admin settings with drupal, are either not enough, or to much | 08:37 |
| newz2000 | Ah. I'm actually haveing the same problem with moin | 08:38 |
| nixternal | oh ya..we setup moinmoin at school this week | 08:38 |
| nixternal | my god, i realized how much i don't know python ;) | 08:38 |
| newz2000 | yeah, its a shock switching between php and python They're soo different. | 08:38 |
| nixternal | i don't think i will ever do another moin install..it isn't fun doing it either...usually you install someting and get the initial visual, it is great..you don't get that with moin | 08:39 |
| nixternal | i cussed it for 4 hours, to the point if i didn't go to church afterwards, god would have struck me down right then and there ;) | 08:39 |
| newz2000 | :-D | 08:39 |
| newz2000 | Yeah, you can ask the other canonical people how I feel about it. | 08:39 |
| newz2000 | However, when I'm done with it, moin will be good I think. | 08:40 |
| newz2000 | What do you mean by "school?" Do you work at a school? | 08:41 |
| nixternal | well..i know from the work i have seen, it will rock | 08:41 |
| === samurai [n=sam@adsl-75-8-18-25.dsl.rcfril.sbcglobal.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| nixternal | I stopped working, and started college again full time ;) | 08:41 |
| newz2000 | Where at? | 08:41 |
| === ompaul [n=ompaul@ubuntu/member/ompaul] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| nixternal | i need to finish my masters, and im working towards a coding degree at a local college | 08:41 |
| nixternal | Kellog, which is part of Northwestern Illinois University for my MBA...and College of DuPage for the programming stuff...but it was at CoD where we were doing the moin stuff messing around | 08:42 |
| newz2000 | Brave guy. | 08:42 |
| newz2000 | I actually had planned on doing something similar. | 08:43 |
| nixternal | so i am kind of doing the double major thing here...business for my masters, and computers for another associates..the computer course emphasizes c++ and unix programming though | 08:43 |
| nixternal | well, i have a GI Bill that helps me | 08:43 |
| nixternal | and the Illinois Veterans grant | 08:43 |
| nixternal | so i don't pay for school..it is free, and i get $1000 a month to live off of fromt he GI Bill | 08:43 |
| newz2000 | That GI bill is a good deal | 08:44 |
| nixternal | so at 32, i moved back in with mommy and daddy until i get this done..otherwise my college benefits would have gone to waste | 08:44 |
| nixternal | no way i can work and do the school stuff full time | 08:44 |
| newz2000 | I actually enrolled at Moody downtime Chicago. However life happened, so its on hold indefinately. | 08:44 |
| nixternal | i just singed up for 5 more credit hours starting next week, so that is 20 a week | 08:45 |
| nixternal | Moody is good stuff | 08:45 |
| nixternal | some of the guys in the Chicago LUG talk about Moody | 08:45 |
| nixternal | they are all IIT or Chicago Institute of Design | 08:45 |
| newz2000 | Its considered one of the top 3 bible colleges in the US. | 08:45 |
| nixternal | ya it is good stuff..we get soem of the students at our church every now and then to minister | 08:46 |
| newz2000 | Sharp looking blog. | 08:49 |
| newz2000 | Are you having a problem with your tabs? | 08:49 |
| nixternal | are you looking at the old blog? | 08:49 |
| nixternal | the comcast one | 08:49 |
| nixternal | http://nixternal.ubuntu-rocks.org/blog | 08:49 |
| nixternal | that is the new one im working on | 08:49 |
| newz2000 | yeah, I'm looking at comcast | 08:50 |
| nixternal | ya, the tabs, i know how to fix, but im not wasting my time with the comcast one now | 08:50 |
| newz2000 | I'm getting the impression that you're a KDE fan | 08:50 |
| nixternal | hehe | 08:50 |
| nixternal | for over 10 years | 08:50 |
| newz2000 | Wow, that has to be since about the beginning | 08:50 |
| nixternal | v1 ;) | 08:51 |
| nixternal | actually back then, i thought i was an elite hacker, so i was all about the black and green afterstep truthfully | 08:51 |
| nixternal | ;) | 08:51 |
| newz2000 | 1996... I was probably still using fvwm2 | 08:53 |
| newz2000 | Seems there was a version called fvwm95... maybe that's what I was using. | 08:54 |
| nixternal | ahhh ya...fvwm was good stuff...blackbox, icevm? i can't remember, afterstep, litestep, the first enlightenment, cde *eww, | 08:55 |
| nixternal | there were a ton of window managers back then | 08:55 |
| newz2000 | Yeah, we used cde at Iowa State so I wanted it on my desktop, but couldn't come up with the cash. | 08:55 |
| newz2000 | It was called motif then actually. | 08:55 |
| nixternal | yup | 08:56 |
| nixternal | haha | 08:56 |
| nixternal | i hated taht stupid clock, and the rising widgets they had back then | 08:57 |
| nixternal | actually...CDE is still the same to this day..if you fire up solaris 10, and use CDE, you can't tell the difference | 08:57 |
| newz2000 | I was used to terminals so I didn't care. | 08:57 |
| nixternal | but I noticed on OpenSolaris, they are using a Java GNOME clone it looks like..it is really bad | 08:57 |
| newz2000 | I just used it to open multiple terminal windows | 08:57 |
| nixternal | tty1-100 | 08:58 |
| nixternal | and eveyrone would be screened | 08:58 |
| nixternal | 10 rather | 08:58 |
| nixternal | i couldn't imagine controlling 100 tty sessions | 08:58 |
| newz2000 | Alt+Tab would take for ever. ;) | 08:58 |
| nixternal | haha yes | 08:59 |
| mdke | newz2000: got a mo? | 09:14 |
| newz2000 | mdke: I'm here, what's up? | 09:18 |
| mdke | newz2000: are you still handling loco servers? | 09:19 |
| newz2000 | yes | 09:19 |
| mdke | newz2000: ok, I'll query you then :) | 09:20 |
