[16:15] <adamorjames_> Hello?
[16:15] <adamorjames_> I saw a mistake on the website.
[16:16] <adamorjames_> "The Jaunty Jackalope Alpha 6 is the fifth alpha release of Ubuntu 9.04"
[16:16] <adamorjames_> it says fifth
[16:17] <adamorjames_> http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/jaunty/alpha6
[16:28] <qense> really? :P
[16:28] <qense> ping newz2000 Who's responsible for this?
[16:28] <newz2000> :-) Well, I can fix it, if that's what you mean
[16:29] <qense> ok
[16:29] <qense> that would be good
[16:29] <newz2000> we leave those typos in there just to keep you guys on your toes
[16:29] <newz2000> ;-)
[16:29] <newz2000> I was wondering how long it would take for someone to spot that one
[20:55] <newz2000> oh, mongolito404, you're here already!
[20:55] <mongolito404> yep
[20:56] <newz2000> thorwil is working on images to go into the carosel
[20:57] <newz2000> the js/iframe code you've written is pretty good, the only big work needed is going to be:
[20:57] <newz2000> 1. making the changes happen automatically instead of on-click
[20:57] <newz2000> 2. twiddling with the timing of that
[20:57] <newz2000> 3. adding one frame
[20:57] <newz2000> (that's it)
[20:58] <newz2000> mongolito404: is that something you think you'd be able to help with at some point?
[20:58] <mongolito404> That'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 appartement
[20:59] <newz2000> oh, so you can work now but once the 20th is around you have to be done?
[20:59] <mongolito404> No, I've little time right now and cannot work on it before the 23th
[21:00] <newz2000> ok, I see
[21:00] <knome> where can i see the code?
[21:01] <newz2000> mongolito404: 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] <newz2000> knome: http://code.bearfruit.org/~matt/tmp/PierreCarousel
[21:01] <mongolito404> The code is at https://code.launchpad.net/~mongolito404/ubuntu-artwork/JauntyCountdown
[21:01] <mongolito404> It's a branch of thorwil's branch
[21:02] <mongolito404> Everything but images is in countdown.html (inline CSS and JavaScript)
[21:04] <newz2000> mongolito404: 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?
[21:05] <mongolito404> I can probably get something by the 24th and will do my the meet this deadline.
[21:05] <knome> newz2000, do you still want to allow people navigating by clicks?
[21:05] <newz2000> knome: I don't think it's necessary
[21:05] <knome> newz2000, and should the frames wrap or just end to last?
[21:05] <newz2000> I think a click should just go to the website
[21:05] <knome> ok
[21:06] <newz2000> mongolito404: 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 for
[21:06] <knome> newz2000, let my JS-codemonkey look at it right away. :)
[21:06] <newz2000> if 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 frame
[21:07] <mongolito404> Ok, I will do my best to be done before the 24th.
[21:08] <knome> mongolito404, you don't necessary have to. :)
[21:08] <mongolito404> I have to go now.
[21:08] <knome> ok see you
[21:08] <newz2000> mongolito404: ok. Check back here when you start to work on it, some other people may want to help you out
[21:08] <newz2000> thaks for what you've done so far!
[21:09] <mongolito404> Ok, I'll try to be here when I work on it.
[21:09] <mongolito404> bye
[21:09] <newz2000> knome: 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 work
[21:09]  * newz2000 hates wasted effort
[21:11] <newz2000> MadsRH: are you around?
[21:12] <newz2000> actually, unping MadsRH, I'm good
[21:13] <knome> newz2000, ok, my js-expert announced he is going to rewrite the code and function as wanted.
[21:14]  * thorwil reads
[21:16] <MadsRH> newz2000 -> Yes
[21:16] <thorwil> newz2000: 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 :)
[21:17] <thorwil> good night!
[21:18] <newz2000> :-)
[21:18] <newz2000> MadsRH: I was just checking out your images but all is OK I think
[21:18] <MadsRH> Ok :)
[21:37] <Ekushey> hi guys
[21:37] <Ekushey> anyone where?
[21:41] <newz2000> hi Ekushey
[21:41] <Ekushey> hi newz2000 :)
[21:42] <Ekushey> newz2000, i have a question: will there be any localized versions of the coundown banners? is it possible?
[21:43] <newz2000> Ekushey: good question
[21:43] <newz2000> my quick answer is "no" but let me ponder for a min.
[21:43] <knome> why not.
[21:43] <newz2000> Translating graphics is hard
[21:43] <knome> if the updating is as simple as it is now...
[21:43] <knome> newz2000, with svg graphics, no
[21:44]  * newz2000 raises eyebrows
[21:44] <knome> newz2000, just write a script to modify the svg files texts and export them
[21:44] <knome> newz2000, i did something like this for the xubuntu jaunty countdown banner already
[21:44] <knome> newz2000, though not localisation but... same idea
[21:44] <newz2000> ah, but how do you export a png from the SVG automatically?
[21:44] <Ekushey> after 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?
[21:45] <knome> newz2000, inkscape --export-png=FILENAME ...
[21:45] <newz2000> ah, I did not know you could do that from a script
[21:46] <knome> newz2000, of course you have to export from the *modified* svg but..
[21:46] <Ekushey> the banners can be created manually, making 30-31 wouldn't be a problem
[21:46] <knome> Ekushey, there's no reason why you couldn't localise them.
[21:47] <Ekushey> knome, so we need to host them ourselves?
[21:47] <newz2000> Ekushey: I can host them i fyou like
[21:47] <newz2000> that's no problem
[21:47] <Ekushey> newz2000, oh ok, that would be nice
[21:47] <newz2000> I'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 localize
[21:47] <knome> right...
[21:48] <knome> but that doesn't have much text, right?
[21:48] <newz2000> "days to go"
[21:48] <newz2000> Thorwill used blender to render his
[21:48] <knome> right...
[21:48] <knome> right.
[21:48] <knome> so that does change the effort, totally.
[21:49] <newz2000> Ekushey: 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.
[21:50] <newz2000> Thorwill'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] <knome> yeah, why not.
[21:51] <Ekushey> newz2000, great, i'll share thing with my team mates
[21:53] <Ekushey> there 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 too
[21:53] <Ekushey> thank you newz2000 and knome
[21:53] <newz2000> any time Ekushey
[21:53] <knome> Ekushey, no problem. :)
[21:53] <Ekushey> :)
[21:55] <MadsRH> newz2000 -> used Photoshop - sorry :-X
[21:56] <newz2000> doh!
[21:56] <newz2000> :-D
[22:14] <Volans> Hi all :)
[22:26] <knome> newz2000, you'll have the carousel in a minute.
[22:27] <newz2000> knome: ok
[22:36] <knome> newz2000, http://emonk.fi/open/ubuntu/Feature%20Carousel/carousel.html
[22:37] <newz2000> knome: something odd with that... it's not as smooth
[22:37] <newz2000> kind of jerky
[22:37] <knome> really?
[22:38] <newz2000> well, not consistently
[22:39] <knome> oh, i see what you mean
[22:39] <newz2000> it switches from teal to magenta instantly and then without delay the blue slides in
[22:40] <knome> yes, you can adjust the time between slides.
[22:40] <knome> *per slide*
[22:40] <newz2000> I need to call it a day, I will leave it open and check it out more closely tomorrow.
[22:40] <newz2000> Thanks for jumping on it. :-)
[22:40] <knome> yeah.
[22:41] <knome> we'll do some improvements for it.
[22:41] <knome> what's your email?
[22:41] <newz2000> matthew.nuzum@canonical.com
[22:41] <knome> ok, i'll send you email if we get something miraculous done.
[22:41]  * newz2000 can't wait
[22:41] <newz2000> ttyl
[22:41] <knome> yeah. the codemonkey went reading mootools source.. :P
[22:41] <knome> see you!
