qensereally? :P16:28
qenseping newz2000 Who's responsible for this?16:28
newz2000:-) Well, I can fix it, if that's what you mean16:28
qenseok16:29
qensethat would be good16:29
newz2000we leave those typos in there just to keep you guys on your toes16:29
newz2000;-)16:29
newz2000I was wondering how long it would take for someone to spot that one16:29
newz2000oh, mongolito404, you're here already!20:55
mongolito404yep20:55
newz2000thorwil is working on images to go into the carosel20:56
newz2000the js/iframe code you've written is pretty good, the only big work needed is going to be:20:57
newz20001. making the changes happen automatically instead of on-click20:57
newz20002. twiddling with the timing of that20:57
newz20003. adding one frame20:57
newz2000(that's it)20:57
newz2000mongolito404: is that something you think you'd be able to help with at some point?20:58
mongolito404That's not a big work, but has I said in private, I can't really work on this before the 20th as I've to prepare moving out of my appartement20:58
newz2000oh, so you can work now but once the 20th is around you have to be done?20:59
mongolito404No, I've little time right now and cannot work on it before the 23th20:59
newz2000ok, I see21:00
knomewhere can i see the code?21:00
newz2000mongolito404: Do you want to try to help finish this off the first part of next week or do you think you'll have a hard time even then?21:01
newz2000knome: http://code.bearfruit.org/~matt/tmp/PierreCarousel21:01
mongolito404The code is at https://code.launchpad.net/~mongolito404/ubuntu-artwork/JauntyCountdown21:01
mongolito404It's a branch of thorwil's branch21:01
mongolito404Everything but images is in countdown.html (inline CSS and JavaScript)21:02
newz2000mongolito404: Do you want to try to help finish this off the first part of next week (23rd/24th) or do you think you'll have a hard time even then?21:04
mongolito404I can probably get something by the 24th and will do my the meet this deadline.21:05
knomenewz2000, do you still want to allow people navigating by clicks?21:05
newz2000knome: I don't think it's necessary21:05
knomenewz2000, and should the frames wrap or just end to last?21:05
newz2000I think a click should just go to the website21:05
knomeok21:05
newz2000mongolito404: If you think you can be close I'm cool with that. The banners really should go live by the 26th and if we can get it done by then it's worth waiting for21:06
knomenewz2000, let my JS-codemonkey look at it right away. :)21:06
newz2000if we get the graphics uploaded on the 23rd it will make finishing the carousel easier because you'll know the full path to the countdown iamge used in the last frame21:06
mongolito404Ok, I will do my best to be done before the 24th.21:07
knomemongolito404, you don't necessary have to. :)21:08
mongolito404I have to go now.21:08
knomeok see you21:08
newz2000mongolito404: ok. Check back here when you start to work on it, some other people may want to help you out21:08
newz2000thaks for what you've done so far!21:08
mongolito404Ok, I'll try to be here when I work on it.21:09
mongolito404bye21:09
newz2000knome: if you do make some contribution to that please make sure to communicate with him so that you guys don't duplicate each other's work21:09
* newz2000 hates wasted effort21:09
newz2000MadsRH: are you around?21:11
newz2000actually, unping MadsRH, I'm good21:12
knomenewz2000, ok, my js-expert announced he is going to rewrite the code and function as wanted.21:13
* thorwil reads21:14
MadsRHnewz2000 -> Yes21:16
thorwilnewz2000: i should manage to have the slideshow images done until friday. i hope you will like a rather abstract take. if not, you need a plan b :)21:16
thorwilgood night!21:17
newz2000:-)21:18
newz2000MadsRH: I was just checking out your images but all is OK I think21:18
MadsRHOk :)21:18
Ekusheyhi guys21:37
Ekusheyanyone where?21:37
newz2000hi Ekushey21:41
Ekusheyhi newz2000 :)21:41
Ekusheynewz2000, i have a question: will there be any localized versions of the coundown banners? is it possible?21:42
newz2000Ekushey: good question21:43
newz2000my quick answer is "no" but let me ponder for a min.21:43
knomewhy not.21:43
newz2000Translating graphics is hard21:43
knomeif the updating is as simple as it is now...21:43
knomenewz2000, with svg graphics, no21:43
* newz2000 raises eyebrows21:44
knomenewz2000, just write a script to modify the svg files texts and export them21:44
knomenewz2000, i did something like this for the xubuntu jaunty countdown banner already21:44
knomenewz2000, though not localisation but... same idea21:44
newz2000ah, but how do you export a png from the SVG automatically?21:44
Ekusheyafter then banner design is chosen (i've been following on the mailing list) maybe the loco teams could create the localized versions out of it?21:44
knomenewz2000, inkscape --export-png=FILENAME ...21:45
newz2000ah, I did not know you could do that from a script21:45
knomenewz2000, of course you have to export from the *modified* svg but..21:46
Ekusheythe banners can be created manually, making 30-31 wouldn't be a problem21:46
knomeEkushey, there's no reason why you couldn't localise them.21:46
Ekusheyknome, so we need to host them ourselves?21:47
newz2000Ekushey: I can host them i fyou like21:47
newz2000that's no problem21:47
Ekusheynewz2000, oh ok, that would be nice21:47
newz2000I'm going to guess that MadsRH used the GIMP to make the calendar one (based on the font hinting) which might change the effort to localize21:47
knomeright...21:47
knomebut that doesn't have much text, right?21:48
newz2000"days to go"21:48
newz2000Thorwill used blender to render his21:48
knomeright...21:48
knomeright.21:48
knomeso that does change the effort, totally.21:48
newz2000Ekushey: I'd see if Mads can share the source code for his image. If hosting the media is all that is needed I'm happy to do it.21:49
newz2000Thorwill's source is already included but I don't know how he built his. He'd have to explain it. (which would be intresting to know)21:50
knomeyeah, why not.21:50
Ekusheynewz2000, great, i'll share thing with my team mates21:51
Ekusheythere are a lot of bengali sites/blogs/forums who use the banner, and since all the content on their sites are in bengali they want bengali version of the counter too21:53
Ekusheythank you newz2000 and knome21:53
newz2000any time Ekushey21:53
knomeEkushey, no problem. :)21:53
Ekushey:)21:53
MadsRHnewz2000 -> used Photoshop - sorry :-X21:55
newz2000doh!21:56
newz2000:-D21:56
VolansHi all :)22:14
knomenewz2000, you'll have the carousel in a minute.22:26
newz2000knome: ok22:27
knomenewz2000, http://emonk.fi/open/ubuntu/Feature%20Carousel/carousel.html22:36
newz2000knome: something odd with that... it's not as smooth22:37
newz2000kind of jerky22:37
knomereally?22:37
newz2000well, not consistently22:38
knomeoh, i see what you mean22:39
newz2000it switches from teal to magenta instantly and then without delay the blue slides in22:39
knomeyes, you can adjust the time between slides.22:40
knome*per slide*22:40
newz2000I need to call it a day, I will leave it open and check it out more closely tomorrow.22:40
newz2000Thanks for jumping on it. :-)22:40
knomeyeah.22:40
knomewe'll do some improvements for it.22:41
knomewhat's your email?22:41
newz2000matthew.nuzum@canonical.com22:41
knomeok, i'll send you email if we get something miraculous done.22:41
* newz2000 can't wait22:41
newz2000ttyl22:41
knomeyeah. the codemonkey went reading mootools source.. :P22:41
knomesee you!22:41
