[13:19] <qense> hello
[16:47] <newz2000> hi, vbabiy, have you had a chance yet to do the mockup?
[16:49] <vbabiy> Hey newz2000 not yet, been really busy with a project
[16:49] <Diptanu> Going for dinner guys,,
[16:49] <Diptanu> bbye
[16:49] <vbabiy> I think monday
[16:49] <vbabiy> on my day off
[16:56] <newz2000> vbabiy: 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] <vbabiy> newz2000: not at all
[16:56] <newz2000> ok, I think I may do that today then, we need to get moving on the feature tour and the countdown
[16:58] <Volans> newz2000: for the other projects? (in particular the Start Page)
[16:58] <newz2000> I've been told to hold on the startpage
[16:58] <newz2000> for now
[16:58] <newz2000> I'm really serious when I expect that this will drop at the last possible moment
[16:58] <newz2000> :-/
[17:00] <Volans> I 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 proceed
[17:01] <newz2000> getting a status update now
[17:03] <newz2000> ok, 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] <newz2000> Gerry will do some probing next week and give more status
[17:04] <Volans> ok newz2000, work on what of the two "possible solutions"?
[17:04] <Volans> (the new start page or the "automatization" of the actual one)
[17:05] <newz2000> both of those are great areas of action
[17:20] <Volans> ok 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 approved
[17:22] <newz2000> Volans: good plan, thanks a lot for hlpeing out with this, its nice having some experience involved
[17:23] <Volans> :)
[17:24] <newz2000> today 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 again
[18:19] <newz2000> I 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.html
[18:19] <newz2000> From 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 area
[18:29]  * Volans have to go, see you tomorrow
[20:05] <vbabiy> newz2000: Hey you still around?
[20:05] <newz2000> vbabiy: hey, still here
[20:06] <vbabiy> hey newz2000 have you thought about setting up http://laconi.ca/trac/ for ubuntu users?
[20:08] <newz2000> no, I haven't thought about it. I hadn't even heard of it actually.
[20:08] <newz2000> Is this like twitter?
[20:08] <vbabiy> newz2000: but much cooler
[20:09] <newz2000> well, considering my opinion of twitter, that's not too hard. :-)
[20:09] <vbabiy> newz2000: http://twit.tv/floss37 listen to that
[20:10] <newz2000> I'll check it shortly, doing a bandwidth intensive upload at the moment
[20:10] <vbabiy> newz2000: alright
[20:34] <Ekushey> vbabiy, good idea, but everyone is on twitter
[20:35] <Ekushey> i'm on so many micro-blogging sites that i can't even remember all the names
[20:36] <vbabiy> Ekushey: yeah, but I think this will change over time. I think the disturbed model is going to win.
[20:36] <vbabiy> Ekushey: whats you twitter?
[20:36] <Ekushey> vbabiy, it's Ekushey
[20:37] <Ekushey> feel free to follow me :)
[20:37] <vbabiy> Ekushey: adding you now
[20:37] <Ekushey> cool
[20:38] <vbabiy> I think having a way for Ubuntu users and developers to post. That would be awesome.
[20:40] <Ekushey> vbabiy, 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 themselves
[20:40] <vbabiy> Ekushey: I think this is a good idea.
[20:40] <Ekushey> or the similar services like jaiku, identi.ca, plurk... the big names, you know
[20:41] <vbabiy> gwibber is starting to office great integration
[20:41] <Ekushey> btw, have you checked out rejaw?
[20:41] <Ekushey> it is really cool
[20:41] <vbabiy> Ekushey: but none are open. that is the thing with identi.ca
[20:41] <vbabiy> Ekushey: rejaw??
[20:42] <vbabiy> Ekushey: this is like Pownce
[20:43] <Ekushey> vbabiy, yeah... i liked it a lot
[20:44] <Ekushey> oh and her, feel free to follow http://twitter.com/Linux too, that's my other timeline :)
[20:44] <Ekushey> *hey
