| TuxCrafter | hello everybody | 08:20 |
| TuxCrafter | is the fluxbuntu artwork creator in this channel? | 08:20 |
| nothlit | troy_s: ^ | 10:07 |
| troy_s | nothlit: ? | 10:07 |
| kwwii_ | ok, so apparently my packaging skills suck | 10:08 |
| kwwii_ | anyone here want to fix up the wallpaper package? | 10:08 |
| troy_s | kwwii_: What is there to fix? Makefile hell? | 10:08 |
| kwwii_ | troy_s: no, just some funky changelog stuff I don't get | 10:09 |
| troy_s | ? | 10:10 |
| nothlit | troy_s: someone asked for you earlier (flux art) :) | 10:10 |
| troy_s | nothlit: Oh missed it. | 10:10 |
| kwwii_ | apparently the last version was wrong and now my version is wrong as well | 10:10 |
| kwwii_ | I'll figure it out | 10:11 |
| kwwii_ | personally, I find that having artists do packaging is silly | 10:11 |
| nothlit | isn't there a whole desktop team of developers who can package? | 10:12 |
| kwwii_ | nothlit: well, nobody is interested | 10:17 |
| kwwii_ | it took me two days to get one of them to even look at the source packages I made | 10:17 |

| xivulon | kwwii: added a few basic icons yesterday, in effect was quite trivial! | 11:48 |
| xivulon | I had been looking for some "tools" to generate icons within inkscape the day before did not occur to me to try save as in gimp... | 11:49 |
| xivulon | I must say they look far worse than the ubuntu one though... | 11:50 |
| xivulon | all these to say that I still need (proper) icons, but not that urgently... :P | 11:52 |
| kwwii | xivulon: cool, I'll add that to our team meeting and maybe we can find someone to help | 11:54 |
| xivulon | thx | 12:09 |
| Toma- | im looking for an article or guide on creating kde themes... anyone? | 14:32 |
| kwwii | Toma-: there is no general article on such stuff | 14:40 |
| kwwii | Toma-: but I am pretty good at it :-) | 14:40 |
| Toma- | what did you do to find out how stuff works? | 14:40 |
| Toma- | is it all plain text stuff? | 14:40 |
| kwwii | well, I have quite a few years experience (did all the suse artwork for 7 years) | 14:45 |
| kwwii | gotta head out now for a bit, bbl | 14:45 |
| Toma- | hmm ok thanks anyway | 14:46 |
| thorwil | i just learned that the artwork for the annoying bugs and brainstorm sites have to be modified, to not contain any hint of the ubuntu logo | 15:15 |
| andreasn | thorwil: hey! | 15:15 |
| andreasn | thorwil: thanks for your e-mail with the gtk logo | 15:15 |
| thorwil | that all because people on different levels have different ideas how official or "community-driven" the sites shall be | 15:16 |
| thorwil | andreasn: hi. np | 15:16 |
| andreasn | I think it looks great, we should probably add the thinner "inside" lines so it looks transparent | 15:17 |
| thorwil | so this is what you get for investing days. upper management kills it and never talks to you | 15:17 |
| thorwil | andreasn: bbiab | 15:18 |
| thorwil | andreasn: rl interruption, sorry | 15:42 |
| andreasn | np | 15:42 |
| thorwil | inside lines? | 15:42 |
| andreasn | http://live.gnome.org/GTKLogo?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=gtk-logo.png | 15:42 |
| andreasn | the "inner" dudes are slimmer | 15:43 |
| thorwil | aha! | 15:43 |
| andreasn | I can add that to your version, if you dont want to do it yourself | 15:44 |
| thorwil | andreasn: cool, it's your logo ;) | 15:44 |
| andreasn | Im really glad that someone with real perspective drawing knowledge took a look at this :) | 15:44 |
| andreasn | I kind of slept through those classes... | 15:44 |
| thorwil | andreasn: that someone is called Blender ;) | 15:44 |
| andreasn | aha! | 15:45 |
| andreasn | :D | 15:45 |
| thorwil | while i can do that manually, i took blender to have it absolutely perfect | 15:45 |
| thorwil | and for being able to fine tune the proportions by moving the camera | 15:45 |
| thorwil | kwwii: do you see a conflict between my annoying_bugs and brainstorm logos and the ubuntu logo trademark policy? | 15:50 |
| _MMA_ | thorwil: Can you link us to something saying there was a conflict? | 15:51 |
| thorwil | _MMA_: private mail from henrik, so no | 15:52 |
| thorwil | i'm only disclosing this since the decision will be out for everyone to see and maybe i can get some argumentative help | 15:54 |
| _MMA_ | Well if this was private, I dont think it should be brought up here. But generally speaking, I can see why people would want the logo gone. At least for the Launchpad bugs one. | 15:56 |
| kwwii | thorwil: well, good brand policy says that one never changes a logo but I am not sure how well that fits in this case | 16:56 |
| kwwii | thorwil: who told you this? | 16:56 |
| thorwil | kwwii: henrik told me. he said that the company actively works to avoid abuse of the logo and he implies its somehow in the trademark policy | 17:00 |
| thorwil | would anyone say google has a bad brand policy? | 17:01 |
| kwwii | thorwil: hrm, I'll ask him about whether this is his opinion or whether he got that from someone else | 17:01 |
| thorwil | kwwii: no need, i guess | 17:01 |
| kwwii | google is a special case as those changes are part of there short term branding | 17:01 |
| kwwii | s/there/their | 17:02 |
| thorwil | kwwii: this _might_ come from the global head of oerations | 17:02 |
| kwwii | are those logos for official sites? | 17:02 |
| kwwii | thorwil: I doubt that it came from anyone like that :p | 17:02 |
| thorwil | +p | 17:03 |
| kwwii | I know that we allow people to change the logo for non-official sites | 17:03 |
| thorwil | kwwii: seems it has just now been decided to treat the sites more like community projects and less official-canonicalesc | 17:03 |
| kwwii | hrm, then it should not be a problem I think | 17:04 |
| kwwii | I will check into this...the work you did was really nice I would hate to see that go to waste | 17:04 |
| thorwil | kwwii: thank you, this is what i was hoping for! :) | 17:04 |
| thorwil | maybe i should have PMed you, but earlier today i was a bit angry and thought everyone should know about these communication issues :/ | 17:05 |
| kwwii | hehe, no worries, I can understand your frustration | 17:07 |
| thorwil | phew :) | 17:07 |
| kwwii | well, I am off for the evening, bbl | 17:15 |
| kwwii | thorwil: got a quick response from Henrick...it was a pretty official decision but I am discussing it with those who made it, I'll let you know what happens | 17:28 |
| thorwil | kwwii: ok | 17:28 |
