| ubendu | hello! :) | 17:20 |
|---|---|---|
| thorwil | hi ubendu | 17:20 |
| thorwil | kwwii: http://www.heise.de/bilderstrecke/510/nt51ccfe | 17:31 |
| kwwii | thorwil: yeah, I was just reading http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20081028-first-look-at-windows-7.html | 17:32 |
| thorwil | heh | 17:32 |
| kwwii | to be honest, I am not that impressed by the look of things | 17:32 |
| kwwii | seems like they add a few new intersting ideas and people are amazed | 17:33 |
| thorwil | windows never impressed me by look | 17:33 |
| thorwil | adding stuff to "libraries" is surely much better than tagging/grouping ;) | 17:33 |
| kwwii | yeah, it seems like they learned from photo software | 17:35 |
| * thorwil -> dinner | 17:41 | |
| ubendu | so what OS do you guys all use to do art work? | 17:53 |
| kwwii | ubendu: lol, linux, of course | 18:16 |
| ubendu | kwwii: what distro? | 18:17 |
| kwwii | ubendu: guess, it shouldn't be hard | 18:20 |
| ubendu | the obvious would be ubuntu, but i don't see why you would have to be using ubuntu to create artwork for it. | 18:21 |
| ubendu | i would be interested in getting involved in the art team though :> | 18:22 |

| kwwii | ubendu: I work for canonical, so it is kinda my job to use ubuntu ;_) | 18:25 |
| ubendu | kwwii: :) | 18:26 |
| thorwil | ubendu: you don't have to be using ubuntu. some people actually contributed work done in photoshop on windows (or perhaps via wine) | 18:47 |
| ubendu | thorwil: okay that's great. i'm an OS X user (Photoshop CS4). | 18:47 |
| thorwil | ubendu: using free/open-source tools is of course preferred. especially when it comes to providing the "source" | 18:47 |
| ubendu | thorwil: i'm guessing that the people who use ubuntu to contribute are using gimp though. | 18:48 |
| thorwil | yes | 18:48 |
| thorwil | gimp and inkscape | 18:48 |
| thorwil | ubendu: if you do vector work, SVG is pretty much a must | 18:48 |
| ubendu | thorwil: okay. | 18:49 |
| thorwil | ubendu: do you have something specific in mind, that you would like to work on? | 18:50 |
| ubendu | no not as such. | 18:50 |
| thorwil | ubendu: what's your background, do you have examples of your work online? | 18:50 |
| ubendu | thorwil: no, i've done a bit of work for some on-line networking web sites. | 18:51 |
| ubendu | who runs the team here? | 18:51 |
| thorwil | ubendu: it's ... kinda headless | 18:52 |
| ubendu | thorwil: ok | 18:52 |
| thorwil | ubendu: kwwii is employed by canonical as art director. there have been so called theme teams, small groupd os people working on themes | 18:53 |
| thorwil | ubendu: with the release coming on the 30th, not much is going on right now, i think | 18:54 |
| ubendu | thorwil: okay | 18:54 |
| kwwii | thorwil: my title is "platform art lead" | 18:54 |
| ubendu | thorwil: i've subscribed to the mailing list. | 18:54 |
| kwwii | I wrote my job description a couple of days ago :p | 18:54 |
| thorwil | kwwii: gosh, i though that was still in future | 18:54 |
| thorwil | ubendu: then there's the Breathe icon effort, led by _MMA_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/BreatheIconSet/ | 18:56 |
| ubendu | thorwil: ok. | 18:56 |
| ubendu | thorwil: i think i would be best suited doing wallpapers etc. | 18:56 |
| thorwil | ubendu: and an ambitious project trying to build a solid base for a theme: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/KyudoGuidelines. led by me | 18:57 |
| ubendu | thorwil: that looks good. | 18:58 |
| ubendu | thorwil: i've just been reading http://thorwil.wordpress.com/, do you do icons for free? | 18:58 |
| thorwil | ubendu: yes | 18:59 |
| ubendu | thorwil: okay :) | 18:59 |
| * kwwii heads off to band practice | 19:04 | |
| thorwil | kwwii: have a good time! | 19:04 |
| kwwii | thorwil: thanks, I'll try...bit of a cold atm, not sure how that'll affect my voice | 19:07 |
