fschoepHi nysosym09:19
ZoohouseYou guys know who I am? lol09:19
fschoepSure09:19
nysosymno?09:19
fschoepJoel Montes de Oca09:20
fschoepWelcome09:20
ZoohouseI created this team long ago near the time when launchpad.net opened.09:20
nysosymfschoep: a short question, is the actually uspalsh theme the final one?09:20
fschoepnysosym: it shouldn't be09:21
ZoohouseI had a icon set concept in the making and I created this team to receive help.09:21
fschoepZoohouse: :)09:21
ZoohouseBut launchpad was still a bit limited09:21
Zoohousewow, amazing that the team took off09:21
fschoepZoohouse: that's a great bit of history09:21
Zoohousebrb phone09:22
fschoepk09:22
nysosymfschoep: jippi, any preview of the final one? :D09:22
fschoepnysosym: wrong question, we're working on it :-)09:23
nysosymi like the idea of kubuntu, with the black background and a glossy logo09:23
fschoepI see09:23
fschoepWhat do you like most about that one?09:23
Zoohouseok back09:23
kwwiifschoep: good, how are you? sounds like a lot of stress at the moment09:23
fschoepkwwii: it's going, well, fine but a bit stressed indeed09:24
fschoepkwwii: managed to do some real actual work tonight regarding integration of the Theme Team work09:24
nysosymfschoep: at most, it is simple useful and very beautiful. :)09:24
kwwiifschoep: as long as you make it through this time, things will be fine :-)09:24
fschoepit's good to be able to actually *do* something instead of sending mails and pushing people around :)09:24
kwwiifschoep: this was kinda what I was afraid would happen in paris09:25
fschoepkwwii: hehe, October when kingdoms rise and kingdoms falls09:25
fschoepfall*09:25
kwwiifschoep: exactly :-)09:25
fschoepAnyway, don't worry - I'm doing fine and I full well know what went well and what went wrong :)09:25
nysosymwhat went wrong? :)09:26
ZoohouseHere is the original icon set I was putting together at the time: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=2944309:26
fschoepI'm pretty sure things'll work out even though it's been looking bleak at times ;)09:26
kwwiifschoep: yeah, I got that feeling from the results...I think things will work out in the end09:26
kwwiino matter how bleak it looks there is always a solution09:26
fschoepYes :)09:27
nysosymZoohouse: very good work, but a little bit inconsistent (the "people" icon for example)09:27
kwwiiwe are having a party in the house I live in...time to go get a beer...be back later :-)09:27
fschoepkwwii: got news on California already?09:27
kwwiifschoep: nope, you?09:27
fschoepkwwii: go and get your beer, cheers!09:27
fschoepkwwii: me neither09:27
fschoepkwwii: see you later this week probably09:27
fschoepkwwii: be good :009:27
kwwiihehe, from what I have heard, we are both still on the internal list, so we'll see what happens09:27
kwwiisee you later09:28
Zoohousenysosym: right, also the help icon and such were inconsistent. I had plans of changing them in the near future.09:28
fschoepkwwii: cu09:28
nysosymfschoep: on which section do you work at moment? :)09:30
ZoohouseSo how does the group function? Is all the communication done via the mailing list?09:30
fschoepnysosym: integrating Theme Team themes to Edgy09:30
fschoepZoohouse: a lot is ML and a lot via the Wiki09:30
fschoepnysosym: so you can enjoy Blubuntu, Peace and Tropic pretty soon I guess09:31
ZoohouseWhat type of projects have you guys worked on?09:31
fschoepZoohouse: mainly core distro artwork09:31
fschoepZoohouse: but there's a lot more done during Edgy09:31
nysosymfschoep: oohh very nice i like blubuntu :)09:32
fschoepZoohouse: Human theme, three side themes, new sounds, Firefox themes, Human iconset expansion, HighCon iconset work09:32
fschoepnysosym: Blubuntu is an awesome theme, I've been using it for a large part of the evening since I just packaged it :)09:32
ZoohouseHow do you guys provide the art work? Do you provide it to the ubuntu team  or do you offer it to the end users as a DL?09:33
nysosymfschoep: shure, but i think that would never be a default "ubuntu" color, because "kubuntu" is blue.. :-/09:33
fschoepZoohouse: we're doing distro work mainly09:33
fschoepZoohouse: I'm in close contact with Daniel Holbach for packaging and uploading our work09:33
fschoepnysosym: indeed, but it's good to have Blubuntu added to the mix now09:34
nysosymfschoep: yes :))) , back to usplash, any chance to get a "ubuntu" version of the "kubuntu" style? :)09:35
fschoepMaybe, can you make one?09:35
fschoep;)09:35
nysosymhmm, i dont know, but i will try it :)09:36
fschoephttp://thingmajig.org/tmp/usplash_plus/radial-light_overlay.gif09:36
nysosym5.Oct is feature freaze :(((09:36
fschoepThat's what I'm trying to get in there09:36
fschoep7 september was feature freeze09:36
nysosymfschoep: O.o a LOT nicer than the kubuntu one :))))09:37
fschoep;)09:37
fschoepI need to see it working first though09:37
nysosymi think this should be possible :)09:38
fschoepIndeed, but someone's gotta step up and do it.09:38
fschoepmsikma did the graphics, I cropped them and Seveas should now implement it09:38
fschoepNot sure where we stand though09:38
nysosymwow, i could watch these "artwork" every hour a day :D09:39
fschoepHehe09:39
nysosymhour=time09:39
msikmaThat's not the one.09:39
Zoohousewow.. I'm a little confused though... See, when I created the team in 2005, I stepped away from the team (I was alone at the time) since launchpad was still in beta. Then I started school and what not and lost interest since no one seemed to join and help out, not to mention that the folks at #launchpad were not too friendly. How/why did people join a inactive team instead of building a new one?09:39
msikmaThat's an old version.09:39
fschoepmsikma: I know, but it comes close right?09:39
msikmahttp://thingmajig.org/tmp/usplash_plus/final/usplash_rlsl_7.gif09:39
fschoepOK, you win - I didn't have the link ready09:39
msikmaI also made a Kubuntu one, but I'm not sure if anyone ever looked at it. http://thingmajig.org/tmp/usplash_plus/final/kubuntu_rlsl_6.gif09:40
msikmaProbably doesn't fit in with their style, anyway.09:40
fschoepmsikma: I saw the Kubuntu one and it's almost as good as the Ubuntu one except for the logo :)09:40
msikmaDid I use a bad version of the logo?09:40
fschoepmsikma: did you ever hear something from Seveas? Should I try to get in touch with him again?09:40
msikmaI just pulled whichever one I could find.09:40
nysosymmsikma: although a very very good work, but i prefer the "light" effect of the old one, but the logo placement is much better in the new one :)09:41
fschoepmsikma: No, it's the Kubuntu logo, it was a joke.09:41
msikmaActually, no. I've been pretty busy, so I haven't really paid attention.09:41
fschoepmsikma: No problem, I'll try to sort it out.09:41
msikmaAh, hehe09:41
fschoepmsikma: You were going to California, right / wrong?09:41
msikmaI'm sorry that I'm a little, er, unwilling to handle that side of Ubuntu Art.09:41
msikmaNot me.09:41
msikmaI'm staying in Rotterdam.09:41
fschoepFunny thing is we're all (you, Dennis and I) from NL and we're talking English almost all of the time.09:42
msikmaI feel so out of touch.09:42
msikmaI don't even know where we stand at Ubuntu Art.09:42
fschoepOh, no problem. Do you want an update?09:42
nysosymyes :D09:43
msikmaThen I got a message from Troy about the fact some of the art won't be accepted (which, arguably, might also be a very good thing; I simply don't know since I haven't been around to check the integrity of all submitted art).09:43

msikmaI'm a little lost. But you don't need to update me right now; I'm working on something. I'll be sure to listen to an explanation later, though.09:43
fschoepOK, great.09:43
fschoepnysosym: sorry ;)09:43
msikma(And this is supposed to be done yesterday.) :)09:43
fschoepmsikma: We're getting on the right track though, so we'll probably have acceptable artwork for release.09:44
msikmaI can tell... I wrote this ActionScript... a year ago? It's terrible.09:44
nysosymfschoep: hmm okay, i like it to try ^^09:44
msikmaI was planning on just ignoring most of the process, coming up with my own theme, and somehow submitting it, whether for main artwork or as a separate package. Either way, I'd just like to show how I would do it.09:44
fschoepmsikma: I know, that's the easiest way to get something in :)09:45
fschoepmsikma: I'm packaging the Theme Team stuff right now09:45
msikmaI wish I knew how to GDM/Metacity.09:45
nysosym*looks very happy* :D09:46
fschoepYou rip an existing one, modify some gfx and give it to me :)09:46
msikmanysosym: hi there :)09:46
fschoepThat's what the others did09:46
nysosymhi msikma :)09:47
msikmafschoep: I perhaps could do that. I wonder how long it'll take. I usually end up too tired after work to do serious stuff except when it's business.09:47
msikmaMy GDM is pretty complicated, though.09:47
msikmaI think.09:47
fschoepmsikma: I understand, and indeed GDM and GTK/Metacity is nuts09:47
ZoohouseI see that Troy James Sobotka is now the team owner09:47
nysosymwhere can i watch them msikma (the GDM theme) :)09:47
fschoepZoohouse: indeed09:47

fschoepWell I'm listening to Lyla by Oasis on iTunes, drinking nothing.09:57
nysosymThe Killers - Sam's Town and a lot of coffee :D09:57
msikmaNah, it's more like an IRC/blog thing.09:57
msikmaI used to drink a lot of coffee. But not anymore. I think it's because I became more picky.09:58
fschoepI ordered an Apple USB keyboard so I can use my Macbook in clamshell mode on my big screen09:58
fschoepWish me luck09:59
msikmaGood luck :)09:59
nysosym*wish luck*09:59
CadetG'nite.09:59
fschoepThanks09:59
fschoepHe Cadet09:59
fschoepYou've only just joined us09:59
msikmaI'm getting tired of this Apple keyboard. I'm getting a different one.09:59
nysosym*although use a macbook* :)))09:59
fschoepEver since I started working on Edgy I've used a Macbook with OS X. Feels a bit weird :)10:00
nysosymsure, OSX is very nice edgy although i think10:00
Zoohousefschoep: When users create the art, how do they send it in for review? Do they just place it in the wiki?10:00
msikmaI used to always work on Windows due to the cost of an Apple. Now I'm running an Intel iMac 20" inch and happily dual booting with Ubuntu.10:00
fschoepZoohouse: yes, and post to the ML10:00
fschoepmsikma: Ubuntu boots natively on those machines?10:01
msikmaCool, downloading a vital file for this project I'm working on at a _stunning_ 500 bytes/s.10:01
nysosymfschoep: bash me but i preffer OSX a little bit *duck and run*10:01
fschoepI can't get mine to boot graphically10:01
msikmafschoep: sure, but you need to fix it up after you get it.10:01
msikmaI hope that Edgy will fix that.10:01
fschoepmsikma: I see10:01
msikmaIt's terrible.10:01
msikmaI remember Warty making me do that. I didn't expect Dapper to.10:01
fschoepmsikma: Indeed10:01
fschoepmsikma: I could stand Ubuntu on my MB, but Windows is a no-go10:02
nysosymhmm edgy works fine on mine macbook :)10:02
msikmaI still have Windows, but on an emulator.10:02
fschoepmsikma: like, Parallels?10:02
msikmanysosym: glad to hear that :)10:02
fschoepor VMware on Ubuntu?10:02
msikmafschoep: I experimented with Parallels, and it's brilliant, but I felt bad about using it so I'm now using Q (with Qemu frontend).10:02
fschoepWhy feel bad using Parallels?10:03
msikmaBecause I never paid for it.10:03
fschoepMe neither, I've got zillions of trial codes though10:03
fschoepI was considering purchasing it10:03
fschoepBecause it's a very useful tool for development10:03
msikmaBah, even 500 bytes/s wasn't good enough. The download got interrupted.10:03
msikmaQemu works excellently. It's a free and open source emulator. It's slower than Parallels, but it works.10:04
fschoepmsikma: right, maybe I'll try that one in the future10:04
fschoepRight now, I only have and need OS X on my MB10:04
msikmahttp://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/10:04
msikmaSomething to check out if you have the time. If you have Parallels, it's not necessary.10:04
fschoepI know QEMU, been using it for ages on Linux before VMware player went free10:04
msikmaUnless you want to run it on Ubuntu.10:04
msikmaAh :)10:04
fschoepVMware player > Parallels10:05
msikmaI was kind of surprised that such a major emulator was around.10:05
fschoepBut they're making progress10:05
nysosymwhy u didn use bootcamp fschoep?10:05
fschoepBecause I didn't get Ubuntu booting natively without hassles10:05
msikmaI feel your pain.10:06
fschoepAnd I don't want to futz around too much, if it doesn't work I choose something else10:06
msikmaIt's terrible to have to mess with that.10:06
fschoepAnd on top of that, OS X is all I need for work10:06
fschoepI can run Edgy on my workstation10:06
nysosymhmm strange, edgy works well here10:06
fschoepOS X is leaps ahead on many fronts10:06
fschoepBut that's another discussion10:06
nysosymsure i love osx ^^10:06
fschoepI use my Macbook live on stage for DSP processing10:07
fschoepSomehow I don't see Ubuntu doing that anytime soon10:07
msikmaNot until the art team is given more freedom, anyway.10:08
nysosymlinux is very very good, no question. But OSX is better i think10:08
fschoepWell, it depends10:08
fschoepOS X has a good commercial software selection10:08
fschoepApple makes some nice software like iLife and iWork10:09
msikmaIf the artwork team is granted freedom, we will be able to actually position Ubuntu on the market in a different way than "linux distro".10:09
fschoepBut the Linux kernel is probably better than Darwin10:09
msikmaThat should bootstrap it in the consumer market.10:09
fschoepmsikma: I see, tell Mark that :)10:09
msikmaIt's very easy to say that in two sentences on IRC.10:09
msikmaI've been meaning to write it down in detail. The sole reason why I haven't done that is because I think it will be dismissed.10:10
fschoepRight, I feel your pain10:10
fschoep"Fix Edgy kthxbye"10:10
msikmaI think you do.10:10
fschoepNo, that's just kidding10:10
msikmaUnfortunately, I don't have any marketing credentials, but I've at least had one year of a marketing education, and a general interest in it in general (I quit because I wanted to design.)10:11
msikmageneral in genera10:11
msikmahmm10:11
fschoepMaybe you could try talking to Corey?10:11
msikmaDoes he do marketing?10:11
fschoepHe's in the martketing team.10:11
fschoepYes, Burgundavia on IRC.10:11
msikmaWell then I should kick his ass.10:11
fschoepLiked by some, despised by others :)10:11
msikmaHe hasn't done a good job in convincing Mark that design is the absolute most important aspect of a product's marketing strategy by far.10:12
nysosymhehe ^^10:12
fschoep:)10:12
msikmaI'm not kidding or trying to help out my team.10:12
msikmaThis is truth.10:12
fschoepI see, you should talk to troy_s about him :)10:13
fschoepI'm just trying to do what I think needs doing and sometimes it goes well and other times it goes a bit awry.10:14
fschoepWhen I uploaded Troy's design (current) the Canonical Deathstar fired at me :)10:14
fschoepWell, we're fixing it for now10:14
nysosymOhhh10:15

msikmaWe haven't hit the polish phase yet, have we?10:15
fschoepmsikma: we did10:15
msikmaFor now, regarding artwork, that's really all I would like to know.10:15
msikmashucks10:15
nysosymfired at me << NEVER!!!! :)))10:15
fschoepmsikma: but ...10:15
fschoepmsikma: polish isn't actually polishing10:16
msikmaThat means I'll actually need to start working soon.10:16
fschoepmsikma: we're creating new designs that fit in with Mark's directions10:16
msikmaAre we behind on schedule like schoolboys?10:16
msikma:)10:16
fschoepmsikma: depends10:16
fschoepmsikma: safe answer: yes10:16
msikma"This week's the week in which we're wrapping up our essay, so let's get started with writing it."10:16
fschoepmsikma: it isn't funny because it's true :)10:16
fschoepI'm going to write to Daniel now, brb10:17
nysosym:)10:17
msikmaThat's okay. From here on, I'd rate a GDM, a usplash, a wallpaper and a suggestion to ditch the stupid Human icon theme at about 8 hours.10:17
nysosymhmm i like the human icon theme *shame*10:18
msikmaFor me personally anyway. I no longer have to research what I need to design and how it should be done.10:18
msikmaThere are a number of reasons why I don't think it's viable. Some of them are simply design mistakes that should have been avoided very early on in the process, but haven't because whoever made it didn't plan it out well enough.10:18
msikmaWell, I'm all out of tea.10:19
nysosymsure10:19
nysosymi will agree with u10:19
nysosymhave fun, i will make me an another cup of coffee :D10:20

fschoepnysosym: Hi, my MB went to sleep and disconnected :)10:37
nysosymno problem :)10:37
nysosymfschoep: short question, how can i make backgrounds in xara transparent?10:37
fschoepOh dear10:37
fschoepUse RGB+Alpha?10:38
fschoepDuring export?10:38
fschoepOr during design?10:38
nysosymexport :)10:38
nysosymexport to *svg doesn't really work10:38
fschoepRight, I'm not sure if it supports that yet I think I read about it on the forums10:38
Viper550So basically, he needs the text enabled10:38
fschoepHey Viper550 how are you doing?10:39
Zoohousefschoep: Who/How is items in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Marketing used? Is it for clubs or is it used by the company? I'm a tad interested in that section10:39
Viper550Good, I'm doing a little "project" for AnAnt, porting Dapper's splash theme to Edgy10:39
fschoepViper550: right, you're always full of energy it seems :)10:39
fschoepZoohouse: I have no idea10:39
Viper550yep, I'm just eager to get stuff done!10:39

fschoepHi lapo10:46
nysosymnothing can open these files...10:46
nysosymhi lapo :)10:46
AnAntViper550: is the result going to be a deb file or what ?10:49
Viper550I'm not quite sure at the moment10:49
AnAntk10:50
Viper550fschoep, is it easier just to replace the graphics, and recode it to use text or use the aptly titled testcard.c file instead?10:50
fschoepI think reusing testcard is simpler, but I'm not really sure.10:51
Viper550I still want the nice progress bar display, but he wanted text10:51
fschoepI see10:51
fschoepThen I'd definitely use testcard and try to copy the progress bar code10:51
fschoepThe text stuff is more complex I think10:51
Viper550He wanted text, and he doesn't like the current default (but it's good he doesn't like it, I don't like it either!)10:52
fschoep:)10:52

Viper550Brand new features, 256 colors, high-resolution, custom progress bars, interchangable fonts, the works!10:53
nysosymre, a little system crash ^^10:53
fschoepnysosym: your MB?10:54
nysosymno, my workstation :D10:54
fschoepOK10:54
Viper550Even better, it doesn't just use one resolution, it works at many different definable resolutions now!10:54
nysosymhmm xara has much more performance, but inkscape works better with svgs :D10:56
