thorwilheh17:32
kwwiito be honest, I am not that impressed by the look of things17:32
kwwiiseems like they add a few new intersting ideas and people are amazed17:33
thorwilwindows never impressed me by look17:33
thorwiladding stuff to "libraries" is surely much better than tagging/grouping ;)17:33
kwwiiyeah, it seems like they learned from photo software17:35
* thorwil -> dinner17:41
ubenduso what OS do you guys all use to do art work?17:53
kwwiiubendu: lol, linux, of course18:16
ubendukwwii:    what distro?18:17
kwwiiubendu: guess, it shouldn't be hard18:20
ubenduthe obvious would be ubuntu, but i don't see why you would have to be using ubuntu to create artwork for it.18:21
ubendui would be interested in getting involved in the art team though :>18:22

kwwiiubendu: I work for canonical, so it is kinda my job to use ubuntu ;_)18:25
ubendukwwii:    :)18:26
thorwilubendu: you don't have to be using ubuntu. some people actually contributed work done in photoshop on windows (or perhaps via wine)18:47
ubenduthorwil:  okay that's great. i'm an OS X user (Photoshop CS4).18:47
thorwilubendu: using free/open-source tools is of course preferred. especially when it comes to providing the "source"18:47
ubenduthorwil:  i'm guessing that the people who use ubuntu to contribute are using gimp though.18:48
thorwilyes18:48
thorwilgimp and inkscape18:48
thorwilubendu: if you do vector work, SVG is pretty much a must18:48
ubenduthorwil:  okay.18:49
thorwilubendu: do you have something specific in mind, that you would like to work on?18:50
ubenduno not as such.18:50
thorwilubendu: what's your background, do you have examples of your work online?18:50
ubenduthorwil:  no, i've done a bit of work for some on-line networking web sites.18:51
ubenduwho runs the team here?18:51
thorwilubendu: it's ... kinda headless18:52
ubenduthorwil:  ok18:52
thorwilubendu: kwwii is employed by canonical as art director. there have been so called theme teams, small groupd os people working on themes18:53
