qensehello13:19
newz2000hi, vbabiy, have you had a chance yet to do the mockup?16:47
vbabiyHey newz2000 not yet, been really busy with a project16:49
DiptanuGoing for dinner guys,,16:49
Diptanubbye16:49
vbabiyI think monday16:49
vbabiyon my day off16:49
newz2000vbabiy: would you be offended if I wireframed the idea and posted it to the list with a request for help (like with the js and stuff)?16:56
vbabiynewz2000: not at all16:56
newz2000ok, I think I may do that today then, we need to get moving on the feature tour and the countdown16:56
Volansnewz2000: for the other projects? (in particular the Start Page)16:58
newz2000I've been told to hold on the startpage16:58
newz2000for now16:58
newz2000I'm really serious when I expect that this will drop at the last possible moment16:58
newz2000:-/16:58
VolansI will investigate the possibility to put the actual text on a .po file and to have an automatic script that can create the final html offline/online page, but waiting a decision to proceed17:00
newz2000getting a status update now17:01
newz2000ok, the word is, "go ahead and work on it but just know that we need to get reviews from a few different parties."17:03
newz2000Gerry will do some probing next week and give more status17:03
Volansok newz2000, work on what of the two "possible solutions"?17:04
Volans(the new start page or the "automatization" of the actual one)17:04
newz2000both of those are great areas of action17:05
Volansok newz2000, I think I will work on the automatization first because I think is a quick work and can be useful to have it ready in case the new start page will not be finished or approved17:20
newz2000Volans: good plan, thanks a lot for hlpeing out with this, its nice having some experience involved17:22
Volans:)17:23
newz2000today I will send some emails out about the other two projects, next week when I'm sure of my facts we'll light up the start page again17:24
newz2000I think this may be the most attractively laid out news site I've ever seen: http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2008/08/27/tech-quebec.html18:19
newz2000From the font family, size and leading, to the width of the page and columns to the particularly unique-for-new-sites lack of disrupting ads or insets in the content area18:19
* Volans have to go, see you tomorrow18:29
vbabiynewz2000: Hey you still around?20:05
newz2000vbabiy: hey, still here20:05
vbabiyhey newz2000 have you thought about setting up http://laconi.ca/trac/ for ubuntu users?20:06
newz2000no, I haven't thought about it. I hadn't even heard of it actually.20:08
newz2000Is this like twitter?20:08
vbabiynewz2000: but much cooler20:08
newz2000well, considering my opinion of twitter, that's not too hard. :-)20:09
vbabiynewz2000: http://twit.tv/floss37 listen to that20:09
newz2000I'll check it shortly, doing a bandwidth intensive upload at the moment20:10
vbabiynewz2000: alright20:10
Ekusheyvbabiy, good idea, but everyone is on twitter20:34
Ekusheyi'm on so many micro-blogging sites that i can't even remember all the names20:35
vbabiyEkushey: yeah, but I think this will change over time. I think the disturbed model is going to win.20:36
vbabiyEkushey: whats you twitter?20:36
Ekusheyvbabiy, it's Ekushey20:36
Ekusheyfeel free to follow me :)20:37
vbabiyEkushey: adding you now20:37
Ekusheycool20:37
vbabiyI think having a way for Ubuntu users and developers to post. That would be awesome.20:38
Ekusheyvbabiy, your idea is really cool, even i thought of a specialised micro-blogging portal for linux users and developers, but i backed off because everyone prefer using twitter to broadcast themselves20:40
vbabiyEkushey: I think this is a good idea.20:40
Ekusheyor the similar services like jaiku, identi.ca, plurk... the big names, you know20:40
vbabiygwibber is starting to office great integration20:41
Ekusheybtw, have you checked out rejaw?20:41
Ekusheyit is really cool20:41
vbabiyEkushey: but none are open. that is the thing with identi.ca20:41
vbabiyEkushey: rejaw??20:41
vbabiyEkushey: this is like Pownce20:42
Ekusheyvbabiy, yeah... i liked it a lot20:43
Ekusheyoh and her, feel free to follow http://twitter.com/Linux too, that's my other timeline :)20:44
