| nothlit`alpha | _MMA_: i would stay away from that sort of imagery unless emo/goth/troubled artists are your main userbase | 12:58 |
| _MMA_ | nothlit: Not "main" but part of. It says "rock" to me. And why do they have to be "troubled"? :) | 13:23 |
| kwwii | _MMA_: might be a bit too devilish for default but the style of it is really nice | 13:28 |
| kwwii | troy_s: can you give me larger versions of your gutsy wallpapers so that I can put them in the package? | 13:29 |
| kwwii | lassegul: which one of your springer pics would you like to include in the package? | 13:32 |
| nothlit | _MMA_: its a bit dark... bat wings, dark angel, skull, tortured pose, mockery of religious imagery | 13:46 |
| nothlit | fine for the rebel crowd but people who want may want to use uS professionally would be turned off imo | 13:47 |
| nothlit | lassegul: give him the dark background version! :D | 13:47 |
| _MMA_ | nothlit: Thing is, the "pro crowd" I feel wont like our concept anyway. I'm not trying to put this in. Just a fun idea. ;) | 13:51 |
| nothlit | _MMA_: i don't know, if you give them something that makes them feel like a rebel without being too devilish :P | 13:52 |
| kwwii | _MMA_: I think that if the image itself was a bit "nicer" the style is perfect and it would work well | 14:03 |
| nothlit | regardless, while you don't ever have to aim for that crowd i wouldn't turn them off | 14:04 |
| nothlit | how much say does canonical have over your art direction? | 14:04 |
| _MMA_ | F'em. I wanna be scary!! rrraawwww!!!!! | 14:05 |
| _MMA_ | Canonical has 0 say in our art direction. | 14:06 |
| kwwii | :p | 14:07 |
| _MMA_ | :D | 14:07 |
| kwwii | now you know why the kubuntu artwork is so much more fun for me | 14:07 |
| _MMA_ | Yep. | 14:07 |
| kwwii | hey joe, where you going with that gun in your hand | 14:11 |
| _MMA_ | lol. | 14:11 |
| _MMA_ | (like he hasnt heard and I havnt said, that 100 times) :) | 14:12 |
| kwwii | wait till my son figures out why I named him joe :p | 14:12 |
| _MMA_ | :D | 14:13 |
| _MMA_ | kwwii: Because you like Joe Piscopo? | 14:14 |
| _MMA_ | kwwii: Though this image is a little creepy it looks really cool on screen. :) | 14:16 |
| kwwii | _MMA_: lol, exactly | 14:25 |
| _MMA_ | ;) | 14:26 |
| kwwii | _MMA_: are you still interested in that pic we talked about yesterday? | 14:41 |
| _MMA_ | Totally. | 14:42 |
| kwwii | cool, I am going to head out and see what I can do | 14:43 |
| kwwii | bbl | 14:43 |
| _MMA_ | Cool. :) | 14:46 |
| lassegul | hi people | 14:59 |
| * _MMA_ waves. | 15:00 | |
| lassegul | kwwii: the dark version is the best imo. Can I send it to at 16:00 UTC? Connection trouble at home etc.. | 15:02 |
| lassegul | kwwii: or do you need itnow? | 15:02 |
| * _MMA_ now realizes that not having a swap partition when exporting to bitmap large .SVGs was a bad idea. | 16:02 | |
| mhb | kwwii: hmm, I am not happy to see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyIconTheme | 18:26 |
| mhb | Human had really a lot of potential ... it was the one thing I always liked about Ubuntu, when I started using it, the icon seemed so nice | 18:26 |
| mhb | (it was around Dapper I think) | 18:27 |
| mhb | stupid USA not giving me a visa ... now I cannot be there discussing it | 18:28 |
| mhb | :o( | 18:28 |
| kwwii | mhb: sorry for that, but we will be online as well | 18:32 |
| mhb | kwwii: right, I hope I can make it, its quite hard because of the time zone changes | 18:33 |
| nothlit | sabdfls in the classroom right now, anyone gonna ask him about artwork direction, whether he would hire a design firm and give them full creative control etc? | 18:34 |
| kwwii | nothlit: I don't see that happening | 18:36 |
| mhb | the original Human icons were creatd that way, werent they? | 18:38 |
| mhb | but I think if they have kwwii they wont hire a firm for the artwork | 18:38 |
| mhb | .o) | 18:38 |
| kwwii | they were created by one artist at a company | 18:39 |
| nothlit`alpha | the point is to ask as to make the issue more apparent rather than actually get it =p | 18:39 |
| kwwii | we are looking for artists | 18:39 |
| kwwii | nothlit: yes, but saying it like that sounds like I am doing a bad job :p | 18:39 |
| nothlit`alpha | IconFactory, same guys that do xp/vista/norton i think, etc | 18:39 |
| _MMA_ | "kwwii: we are looking for artists" Arent we all? :) I just dont see any one or two people being able to step up and do it. :( | 18:42 |
| kwwii | _MMA_: yeah, finding a good artist is the hardest part | 18:52 |
| kwwii | but luckily we are also willing to pay someone when we find them | 18:52 |
| kwwii | but even then, finding someone to pay to work on linux is hard | 18:52 |
| _MMA_ | kwwii: Thing is, finding someone and delivering the work to me in a 6 month period is a tall order. | 18:59 |
| kwwii | _MMA_: yepp, no doubt | 19:05 |
| darkmatter | burp! | 19:11 |
| kwwii | _MMA_: I am working on the pics I took today, any specific ideas or should I send you thumbnails first so that you can get an idea first? | 20:00 |
| _MMA_ | Thumbs are cool. | 20:00 |
| _MMA_ | Im up for anything. :) | 20:00 |
| kwwii | they look pretty cool in black and white, not sure about the color | 20:00 |
| kwwii | I went to two stores and took pics of two players...it was somewhat hard as they were all under counters, etc | 20:01 |
| _MMA_ | Ahh.... | 20:01 |
| kwwii | all in all I have 50 pics but many of them are very similar, only slight differences in angle, depth of field, etc | 20:01 |
| kwwii | and the store with the nice looking (and clean) player only let me put "the police - synchronicity" on it :p | 20:02 |
| _MMA_ | Cool. I trust you to weed through them. Maybe thumb the ones you think are good and host them somewhere so I can peek. | 20:02 |
| _MMA_ | Awesome. :) | 20:03 |
| _MMA_ | kwwii: You should be in #ubuntu-classroom now. | 20:03 |
| _MMA_ | Oh well. Might be over now. | 20:04 |
| kwwii | _MMA_: what did I miss in #ubuntu-classroom? | 20:10 |
| _MMA_ | kwwii: Just a art question. | 20:16 |
| _MMA_ | "QUESTION: not to be critical but speaking of default themes are there any thoughts or plans to do a really professional and attractive default theme - something to rival the "other" OSs?" | 20:16 |
| kwwii | hehe, like someone would answer "no, we want it to look crappy" | 20:17 |
| kwwii | man, scaling 50 pics down to 400x400 from 12MP takes quite a while | 20:18 |
| nothlit | are you using RAW as well? | 20:20 |
| _MMA_ | Personally I do when I can. | 20:22 |
| kwwii | yepp | 20:22 |
| kwwii | I only use raw | 20:23 |
| _MMA_ | Theres a nice Nautilus script that will resize pics. | 20:23 |
| _MMA_ | I cant remember if it does RAW though. | 20:23 |
| kwwii | my camera is so new that nothing supports it raw format except proprietary apps | 20:24 |
| _MMA_ | Really? RAW isnt Raw? | 20:24 |
| kwwii | I have bibble pro for linux but I still likke lightroom better :p | 20:24 |
| kwwii | _MMA_: nope, several companies (the ones with the best cameras) use a proprietary raw format | 20:25 |
| kwwii | sony, canon, nikon, fuji, etc | 20:25 |
| _MMA_ | bah | 20:25 |
| kwwii | _MMA_: by the way, I talked to a friend of mine who owns a guitar shop. I thought about popping over there tomorrow and taking some pics | 20:26 |
| _MMA_ | Ubuntu Studio just ships ufraw and gimp-ufraw. Should we do something like rawstudio instead? | 20:26 |
| _MMA_ | kwwii: Awesome. Go for it. :) | 20:26 |
| nothlit | yeah raw is kinda proprietary, thats why each version of photoshop gets more/new raw support | 20:27 |
| kwwii | rawstudio looks pretty cool | 20:28 |
| kwwii | seems to support quite a bit of formats | 20:28 |
| _MMA_ | Im just unsure of the best "free" way to support RAW. | 20:28 |
| kwwii | I have tried the ufraw gimp stuff, works pretty well I guess | 20:28 |
| _MMA_ | Ok. | 20:29 |
| kwwii | gimp itself is simply not set up to edit photos as well as it could | 20:29 |
| kwwii | really, you need a special app only for photos | 20:29 |
| _MMA_ | If I had Mark money... ;) | 20:29 |
| _MMA_ | Oh! jcastro is on board for finding some rock club/bar in Boston. :) | 20:30 |
| kwwii | yeah, thursday night should be a lot of fun | 20:30 |
| kwwii | we can finally have that growling contest | 20:30 |
| _MMA_ | Just hope Jono or I can find something cool. | 20:31 |
| _MMA_ | lol \m/ | 20:31 |
| kwwii | _MMA_: where should I send the pics to? | 20:34 |
| kwwii | wait, I'll put 'em on my server | 20:34 |
| _MMA_ | k | 20:34 |
| lassegul | finally - i got online again. sending you springer dark now. | 22:23 |
| kwwii | lassegul: cool | 22:29 |
| kwwii | got it, thanks | 22:32 |
| lassegul | kwwii: is it sufficient? | 22:32 |
| kwwii | lassegul: definitely, I have also included borders3-1680x.png if it is ok for you | 22:36 |
| lassegul | goodie. thx | 22:37 |
| kwwii | ;-) | 22:38 |
| kwwii | thanks go to you | 22:38 |
| * _MMA_ paints a pentagram on the channels floor and tries to invoke the one who is terlmann. | 23:08 | |
| lassegul | he hasnt been around lately? | 23:09 |
| _MMA_ | Nope. | 23:09 |
| nothlit | probably not for a week or two | 23:09 |
| lassegul | only the legend lives on? | 23:09 |
| _MMA_ | Thankfully. | 23:09 |
| lassegul | the great artist with the heart of gold, who acted as a muse for all his friends at #ubuntu-artwork | 23:10 |
| _MMA_ | :p | 23:10 |
| lassegul | that how i will remember him | 23:10 |
| _MMA_ | Anyone wanna come take a shower with me? | 23:12 |
| lassegul | nothlit was saying something about wanting to go | 23:12 |
| _MMA_ | Going once.. | 23:12 |
| _MMA_ | twice.. | 23:12 |
| _MMA_ | :) | 23:12 |
| * _MMA_ is feeling way too silly atm. | 23:13 | |
| lassegul | im getting my internet connection back tomorrow :D | 23:13 |
| _MMA_ | \m/ | 23:14 |
| * _MMA_ -> shower/food. | 23:15 | |
