[08:37] <lianimator> question: if my wacom is a different aspect ratio from my screen's, is it safe to do artwork with it or should I change my screen to fit my wacom's ratio?
[08:39] <knome> doesn't really matter imho
[08:39] <knome> wysiwyg
[08:40] <knome> if It looks ok, it's ok
[08:41] <lianimator> it could affect my drawing on paper no?
[08:45] <Cimi> lianimator, try to draw a circle on your wacom. if it looks correct then it is ok
[08:45] <knome> drawing with wacom different anyway
[08:45] <lianimator> if I look at the screen and draw, it's okay.
[08:45] <knome> + is
[08:45] <lianimator> but if I look at the wacom and draw a circle. it's a fat oval
[08:47] <Cimi> maybe you have to change your wacom sensivity
[08:47] <Cimi> just like touchpads
[08:47] <lianimator> the thing is, my wacom is 6x8. whereas my screen is wide
[08:48] <lianimator> I usually change my screen to be 1027x768 as to keep the same ratio, but that wastes space
[09:03] <Spear> hey all
[09:03] <Spear> I've been thinking for a while about contributing to Ubuntu but have never had the time before now.
[09:04] <Spear> I was wondering about whether I could be of any use to the Artwork team (and hopefully a few others)
[09:12] <Spear> Do you have to use free tools to contribute to Ubuntu, or doesn't it matter as long as any work done is offered with a free liscence?
[09:23] <Cimi> Spear, it should not matter... but for icons inkscape is good enough
[09:23] <Spear> Hey Cimi, I am a huge fan of your work :)
[09:24] <Cimi> while gimp is a bit different, since if supports 16bit colorspaces just for few gegl operations
[09:24] <Cimi> Spear, thanks :)
[09:24] <Spear> Have been using your themes since 06
[09:24] <Cimi> oh when I started ;)
[09:24] <Spear> Yeah, I found your work though gnome-look
[09:25] <Spear> Thing is, I have a Macbook Pro and an Acer Aspire One
[09:25] <Spear> The Acer is really only for travelling
[09:25] <Cimi> answer: use the macbook pro
[09:25] <Spear> right.
[09:26] <Spear> But, Can I get tools for the mac?
[09:26] <Spear> I have Adobe Photoshop
[09:26] <Cimi> i don't know if inkscape works on osx
[09:26] <Spear> CS3
[09:26] <Cimi> as said
[09:26] <Cimi> inkscape is good enough
[09:26] <Cimi> for icons
[09:27] <Cimi> while gimp suffers of some operations that works just in 8bit mode
[09:27] <Spear> yeah, Inkscape is compiled for OSX
[09:27] <Spear> I can't use Gimp it messes with my mind
[09:27] <Spear> I'm hopelessly addiced to Photoshop, I tried to switch to the Gimp and it didn't work out :(
[09:28] <Cimi> oh no it isn't
[09:28] <Spear> ?
[09:28] <Cimi> I used photoshop when I was 13 till 16
[09:28] <Cimi> but then I switched to gimp
[09:29] <Cimi> yes the first days were hard
[09:29] <Cimi> but it's a great tool
[10:09]  * Spear is back after consuming a bowl of Porridge
[10:10] <Spear> :-)
[10:10] <Spear> so with the artwork team, whats the best way to actually get contribution to ubuntu
[10:11] <Spear> Is it to watch the mailing list?
[12:57]  * _MMA_ waves.
[20:28] <thorwil> _MMA_: hi! say, free culture showcase deadline on friday means until the end of that day, right?
[20:29] <_MMA_> thorwil: Hmm... I'd PM jono and ask.
[20:29] <_MMA_> jono on Freenode. He's on now.
[20:40] <thorwil> so that's a yes
[20:40] <_MMA_> cool
[20:45] <thorwil> good thing that oggenc -q -1 is quite bearable :)
[20:46] <_MMA_> haha
[20:46] <_MMA_> thorwil: You usin' mono and cuttin' the sampling rate down? 22kHz or something?
[20:47] <thorwil> _MMA_: no, this mix needs stereo badly and it looks like i don't have to touch the sampling rate
[20:47] <_MMA_> Ahh nice.
