[12:07] <nysosym> good night fschoep :)
[12:08] <fschoep> nysosym: good nogith :)
[12:08] <fschoep> night*
[12:18] <Burgwork> what is this about new art?
[12:18] <Burgwork> fschoep: why is the artwork changing at this late date?
[12:19] <fschoep> Burgwork: master's orders
[12:19] <Burgwork> fuck
[12:19] <Burgwork> we are lucky I still have two days to change the books screenshots
[12:19] <fschoep> Burgwork: aren't you on the docteam?
[12:19] <Burgwork> yes, I am
[12:20] <fschoep> OK, I sent out a notification to the mailing list warning everyone not to take screenshots until further notice.
[12:20] <fschoep> Someone replied that noone was taking screenshots.
[12:21] <fschoep> I'm really sorry.
[12:21] <Burgwork> replying now
[12:21] <fschoep> OK, thanks.
[12:23] <Burgwork> artwork has missed every deadline it has ever been given, in the history of the Ubuntu project
[12:23] <Burgwork> every time I get a little bit more annoyed
[12:23] <Burgwork> this time, for Dapper, I thought we were good
[12:23] <Burgwork> apparently not
[12:24] <Burgwork> I don't blame the artteam
[12:24] <fschoep> I can understand your frustration.
[12:25] <fschoep> I'm sorry to hear about your problems, unfortunately I can't really help you out at the moment :(
[12:25] <Burgwork> we can revert the change, which is what I would do
[12:26] <fschoep> I'm not sure if Mark would agree with that.
[12:26] <Burgwork> yes
[12:26] <Burgwork> but if *any* other feature fails to make the deadline, it gets cut
[12:26] <Burgwork> artwork does not
[12:27] <fschoep> I see.
[12:28] <fschoep> Tonight, we worked very hard with the team to conform to Mark's latest wishes and I'm sure he wouldn't want us to revert everything at this moment.
[12:29] <Burgwork> it is still up in the air about whether or not I will be in MV
[12:29] <fschoep> I understand the book being high profile as well, but it's not up to me to decide what to prioritize. I'm sorry I can't help you out much more than this.
[12:29] <Burgwork> if I am, I am going to go to bat
[12:31] <Burgwork> it is not just the book
[12:31] <Burgwork> what about other projects?
[12:31] <fschoep> Can you tell me about some of those?
[12:32] <Burgwork> other book projects
[12:32] <Burgwork> that is the biggest one I can see
[12:32] <Burgwork> anybody doing out of tree marketing
[12:32] <Burgwork> etc.
[12:32] <Burgwork> there are a million places screenshots are used
[12:33] <Burgwork> anyway, I need to run
[12:33] <fschoep> OK, I'm sure we'll discuss the matter again. Thanks for dropping by.
[12:33] <fschoep> OK
[12:41] <fschoep> troy_s: ping?
[12:42] <kwwii> hehe, write a book about kubuntu
[12:42] <kwwii> it has been solid for weeks
[12:42] <kwwii> :p
[12:42] <kwwii> sorry
[12:44] <fschoep> kwwii: lol, you show 'em :)
[01:11] <imbrandon> kwwii, pong
[01:20] <kwwii> imbrandon: I made a couple a logos for the website
[01:21] <kwwii> more along the ubuntu lines though
[01:36] <imbrandon> kwwii, sweet
[01:36] <imbrandon> i just woke up, give me a few to get some food in me and stuff then i'll be ready to rock
[01:39] <fschoep> kwwii: shouldn't you be asleep?
[01:40] <imbrandon> heya fschoep
[01:40] <fschoep> Hey imbrandon
[01:40] <fschoep> How do you do?
[01:41] <imbrandon> great, had some time this weekend to get the community artwork site rocking, thats what newz^2000 kwwii and me are pumping out
[01:41] <kwwii> fschoep: yes
[01:41] <fschoep> OK, great
[01:41] <imbrandon> mark really seemed to like it , we just have a few more changes ( mostly cosmetic ) before we go live
[01:41] <fschoep> Fantastic
[01:42] <kwwii> let me post the latest stuff
[01:42] <imbrandon> kwwii, okies
[01:42] <fschoep> It sounds exciting, do you have a preview?
[01:42] <imbrandon> fschoep, ( private-ish url , e.g. no mailing list please ) but a sneak peek at http://art-staging.ubuntu.com
[01:43] <imbrandon> thats what me and kwwii are working from, he is working on a more "ubuntu" theme now ( but not totaly default )
[01:43] <imbrandon> it andhels all the image resizine, sounds, the whole bit
[01:43] <fschoep> Nice design, I think this is a major improvement over the old site
[01:44] <imbrandon> i'm working on better "group" stuff now, and a sound section
[01:44] <imbrandon> thanks
[01:44] <kwwii> http://sinecera.de/pics/1.jpg
[01:44] <imbrandon> rainbow heh
[01:45] <kwwii> you can see that I can do that effect in any color
[01:45] <imbrandon> i like the first one personaly, its close to what i did on buntudot.org before the fridge merge
[01:45] <fschoep> kwwii: lol
[01:46] <kwwii> the question is what do we want
[01:46] <kwwii> I would like it to be cross desktop and there not necessarily orange-red
[01:46] <fschoep> kwwii: should it fit in the preview's design?
[01:47] <imbrandon> i was thinking a little deeper colors , i was going to change the backgrounds to still fade like they are but match the existing site moreso
[01:47] <kwwii> fschoep: not necessarily
[01:47] <imbrandon> yea
[01:47] <imbrandon> ( as in cross -desktop)
[01:47] <kwwii> imbrandon: how did you make the log now? it is part of the bg?
[01:47] <imbrandon> about as long as the letters, photoshop
[01:48] <imbrandon> its really just an illusion , so it would fit all resolutions
[01:48] <imbrandon> its two seperate images
[01:48] <imbrandon> http://art-staging.ubuntu.com/themes/copyleft/images/topleft.jpg
[01:48] <kwwii> so you coud take some transparent logo and put it on top of the bg pic?
[01:49] <imbrandon> yup
[01:49] <kwwii> erm, nope
[01:49] <imbrandon> i have a blank one
[01:49] <imbrandon> that i can on my hdd
[01:49] <kwwii> you have composited them in advance
[01:49] <imbrandon> infact one sec
[01:49] <kwwii> which is not bad
[01:49] <kwwii> but
[01:50] <kwwii> harder to test
[01:50] <imbrandon> yea
[01:50] <kwwii> as you have to do it every time
[01:50] <kwwii> :p
[01:50] <kwwii> I will send you 100 pics now
[01:50] <imbrandon> ow
[01:50] <kwwii> test them all please and show everyone everything :p
[01:50] <kwwii> just kidding
[01:50] <kwwii> don't run away
[01:51] <kwwii> I am a bitch about art
[01:51] <kwwii> :p
[01:51] <imbrandon> hehe
[01:51] <imbrandon> http://federation.imbrandon.com/topleft.jpg

[01:52] <kwwii> about time for bed here
[01:52] <kwwii> might be asleep by that time, who knows
[01:52] <kwwii> :p
[06:30] <msikma> Hmm, the update to 6.10 seems to have changed around some of the graphics used by the "LegacyHuman" theme.
[06:30] <msikma> They look uglier now and broken in some places.
[06:43] <frandavid100> hiya!
[07:11] <PingunZ> Evening all
[07:13] <PingunZ> I made a gdm .. http://pingunz.rockz.be/Dump/screenshot.jpg any comments ? :)
[07:16] <andreasn> star trek?
[07:16] <andreasn> I totally want a star trek theme :)
[07:16] <msikma> Nice background. I'm not that impressed by the design of the middle part, though.
[07:17] <msikma> Mostly, I don't find the internal/external glows to be very attractive.
[07:17] <msikma> I think that keeping the glows either very small (in radius) or making them very transparent (maybe 10% opacity, probably less) is nice. One thing I'm certain of is that a dark outer glow is _not_ a good substitute for a drop shadow.
[07:19] <msikma> I'm irked by whatever logo that is in the middle. It has a shadow that makes no sense and it looks like an unfinished Tango icon resized to way past the scale it should be at.
[07:21] <PingunZ> Ok :)
[07:21] <PingunZ> It's the official archlinux logo btw ;)
[07:22] <PingunZ> The background is the suse default wallpaper ;)
[07:22] <PingunZ> I'll design a total new one, I'll keep you updated :D
