[05:47] <blackskad> cjwatson: you're doing mentoring on the ubiquity-slideshow-spec, aren't you?
[05:47] <cjwatson> blackskad: well, I only just pressed the button earlier today, but yes
[05:48] <blackskad> cjawatson: :D
[05:48] <blackskad> can I adopt this spec?
[05:49] <cjwatson> tell me about the sort of experience you have
[05:49] <blackskad> cjwatson: I haven't got that much experience in python, but I'm learning quite fast
[05:49] <blackskad> I'm creating some kind of pane to show a slideshow on it
[05:49] <cjwatson> this spec is part making it work in ubiquity, and part coordinating with the art/marketing teams to get the right kinds of art created

[05:50] <cjwatson> pane?
[05:50] <blackskad> sorry, too much java :)
[05:50] <blackskad> its an extension of HBox
[05:51] <cjwatson> doesn't sound like the right widget to use
[05:51] <cjwatson> it should just be VBox [ Image <progress bar stuff> ] 
[05:51] <blackskad> so it can be included rather easy using glade
[05:51] <cjwatson> a pane isn't appropriate because resizing isn't necessary
[05:53] <cjwatson> here, I forgot to ever push the slideshow branch I had with some initial work on this
[05:53] <blackskad> is it in bzr? i'll check it out :)
[05:53] <cjwatson> it will be once this bzr push happens
[05:53] <cjwatson> the initial glade work I did is still in my working copy though
[05:54] <cjwatson> (as in, not committed - I assume I had some reason, but it was a while back)
[05:55] <blackskad> hehe, I would blame it on too less ram
[05:55] <cjwatson> well, if you mean the sort that lives in my brain, that may be true
[05:56] <cjwatson> the work dates from ubiquity 1.3.13, so it's a bit crusty
[05:57] <cjwatson> IIRC I did it when stuck in an airport for a night and desperately bored
[05:58] <blackskad> yeah, it seems to be one of the less interesting things to do when you already know quite a lot about the installer/python :)
[05:59] <blackskad> but it seems like a perfect task to step in for me
[05:59] <cjwatson> the fiddly bit about it is that it involves restructuring the install-progress step of the UI
[06:00] <cjwatson> if you can tackle that, it's probably not too bad
[06:01] <blackskad> I'll try
[06:01] <blackskad> I love to tackle problems :)
[07:12] <cjwatson> http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kamion/ubiquity/slideshow/
[07:12] <cjwatson> I trust you have enough bzr familiarity to unpick what I did
[07:55] <blackskad> cjwatson: ok, I'll figure out ;)
