[09:05] <nothlit> wow the ds can do this http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1481248&postcount=4296 (scroll down)
[09:09] <lassegul> nothlit: :) throw your tablet away and get a DS.
[09:16] <nothlit> i have a bigger version of that anyways =p
[09:16] <nothlit> and i have a ds, just no homebrew
[09:17] <lassegul> ok. so, did anything new happen over the weekend?
[09:18] <lassegul> I see people are using the wiki.
[09:24] <nothlit> lassegul: test the montage maker again for me :) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Wiki_Scripts
[09:24] <nothlit> and check if the label is using a nice font rather than a pixelated one
[09:24] <lassegul> nothlit: im on work computer with windows and restrictions, sorry
[09:25] <nothlit> lassegul: oh ok, thats fine
[09:45] <nothlit> lassegul: can you tell me if you installed imagemagick yourself first?
[09:58] <lassegul> I already had imagemagic before i run your script.
[10:04] <nothlit> did you install it yourself, or did it come with the system
[10:24] <lassegul> i dont remember.
[10:25] <nothlit> kk
[10:25] <nothlit> lassegul: like my example montage? :D https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Wiki_Scripts?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=montage.png
[10:30] <lassegul> nothlit: I do.
[10:31] <lassegul> nothlit: but maybe there is too much padding? Its space consuming.
[10:35] <nothlit> lassegul: if the pictures were more regular aspect ratios it looks better
[11:15] <coastGNU> kwwii: Hi, you got the mail sabdfl forwarded to you?
[11:16] <coastGNU> kwwii: s/the/my/
[11:18] <kwwii> coastGNU: hi, yes I got read that this morning and sent an email to the person at Canonical who has the artwork
[11:19] <kwwii> coastGNU: Did you get my mail earlier?
[11:19] <coastGNU> kwwii: I didn#t get a mail from you till now, yust a sec I'll have a look...
[11:20] <coastGNU> kwwii: BTW you are Nr 5 I'm told of to be responsible for artwork. :-))
[11:21] <kwwii> lol
[11:21] <kwwii> I asked to person at C
[11:21] <kwwii> erm,
[11:22] <coastGNU> kwwii: Due to the need for cd-artwork I noticed that there is no image to print on a cd in the examples folder.
[11:22] <kwwii> ...at Canonical (who is responsible for the CD artwork) concerning this. I will foward you the artwork as soon as I have it
[11:22] <kwwii> coastGNU: we cannot give out this stuff with the distro
[11:22] <coastGNU> kwwii: cause of itelectual property or why?
[11:23] <coastGNU> s/itelectual/intelectual/
[11:23] <kwwii> well, it is a) a huge file, b) it is often not done until a week or two before release
[11:24] <kwwii> and c) it is not editable by anything on linux..the point of the examples dir is to provide examples for files you can edit/make in linux
[11:25] <coastGNU> kwwii: size also was my first idea why it isn't on the cd.
[11:26] <coastGNU> kwwii: the ubuntu leaflet is a pdf, I really don't think anybody will use this as a source for a localized leaflet
[11:27] <coastGNU> kwwii: but nevermind. I will wait for a note from you...
[12:06] <nothlit`alpha> kwwii: does the orange and black fall anywhere along this line? https://people.fluxbuntu.org/~nothlit/communitytheme/hardy/thumbnails/
[12:09] <kwwii> nothlit`alpha: the colors are very similar I think
[01:10] <hellraiser_rob> did anyone see that pdf sent around on the email list today?
[01:18] <lassegul> hellraiser_rob: yes ive seen it.
[01:19] <hellraiser_rob> I wouldn't want to rubbish it without providing something alternative, but i don't think it's of a good enough quality compared with the rest of the distro
[01:21] <lassegul> hellraiser_rob: you mean the poster right?
[01:21] <hellraiser_rob> yeah
[01:21] <lassegul> hellraiser_rob: the one with too much text and a bad ubuntu-logo?
[01:21] <lassegul> :P
[01:22] <hellraiser_rob> Yeah thats right, the aweful one
[01:22] <lassegul> =) i dont think its official.
[01:23] <hellraiser_rob> i'm new to the community, so was unsure where to comment, and what etiquette is for criticism
[01:24] <lassegul> hellraiser_rob: i think you can answer him on the mailing list, give constructive and polite criticism.
[01:25] <hellraiser_rob> i think i'll take a back-seat for a while and see how everything works for a while :)
[01:26] <hellraiser_rob> So what kind of stuff do you do?
[01:26] <lassegul> hellraiser_rob: im certainly no veteran, but im pretty sure that only good can come out of you answering his mail, and politely telling him what could be done better with the poster.
[01:29] <hellraiser_rob> lassegul: thanks for the advice
[01:39] <lassegul> hellraiser_rob: i do mostly flyers, stickers and posters. Springer and Border here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Gutsy are mine.
[01:40] <lassegul> hellraiser_rob: what do you do?
[01:42] <hellraiser_rob> nice
[01:42] <hellraiser_rob> well as i've just joined nothing yet, i'm waiting for the wiki to get updated to see what i can contribute.
[01:42] <hellraiser_rob> I can generally do all sorts, but am web designer by trade
[01:43] <hellraiser_rob> http://www.robertjamesphillips.com/ - basic portfolio
[02:03] <lassegul> oh ive seen it before. nice work. i like the laptop illustration you did.
[02:03] <lassegul> was it a toshiba?
[02:04] <nothlit> the poster was made in openoffice, only so much you can expect lol
[02:05] <lassegul> :)
[02:24] <hellraiser_rob> ;)
[02:25] <hellraiser_rob> So are most people home workers, or do they contribute evenings and weekends?
[11:58] <TheRepacker> Hi, anybody here?
[12:04] <TheRepacker> Anybody know where I might be able to find a lightscribe disk image to print/burn for Gutsy?
[12:08] <troy_s> TheRepacker: Shouldn't be too difficult to generate one.
[12:08] <troy_s> TheRepacker: What formats does lightscribe like?
[12:11] <TheRepacker> I have done the default ones I was just looking to see if anyone has done anything special
[12:14] <TheRepacker> I am terrible with artwork, don't have the patient, I usually use just a jpeg, reallly kust has to be a bisk size usally I just set it to 75 dpi
[12:17] <TheRepacker> I and "donating" diskes to friends to try and get them away from M$, They love what they see but without a "professional" disk they think it is kinda kludgy. I have ordered diskes but they will take a couple of weeks to arrive.
