| o0Chris0o | Hey Guys what are some projects that need help? I'm new, Id like to help any way I can by giving feedback, artwork..etc. Its going to take me a lil bit to get going in the graphic field again, kinda rusty, and new to gimp and inkspace. Any help is appreciated. I have read the wiki pages and thought it would benefit me if I ask the art members themselves :) | 08:28 |
| o0Chris0o | inkscape* | 08:29 |
| thorwil | hi o0Chris0o | 08:30 |
| o0Chris0o | hi thorwil | 08:30 |
| thorwil | o0Chris0o: you could perhaps help with Breathe | 08:30 |
| ziroday | o0Chris0o: I'm no member, but you probably want to join the mailing list | 08:31 |
| ziroday | if you haven't done so already | 08:31 |
| thorwil | o0Chris0o: for everything else, we are close to a release and you have to set sight on the next, Karmic Koala, already | 08:31 |
| o0Chris0o | thorwil: alright, I take that is the next version after jaunty? | 08:32 |
| thorwil | o0Chris0o: the guys at canonical are working on guidelines, so it's best to wait and see regarding everything. with the excpetion of Breathe, as it's a community effort that is not aligned to the release schedule | 08:32 |
| thorwil | yes | 08:33 |
| o0Chris0o | thorwil: alright thanks for the helpful information :) | 08:33 |
| thorwil | o0Chris0o: being on the mailing list is pretty much a must | 08:33 |
| o0Chris0o | thorwil:I am on it already, I'm quite new so I wouldn't know what to post to the team or what not at this time | 08:34 |
| thorwil | o0Chris0o: you already know the Breath wiki pages? | 08:35 |
| thorwil | breathe, actually | 08:35 |
| o0Chris0o | thorwil: no but I can find them | 08:35 |
| thorwil | o0Chris0o: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/BreatheIconSet | 08:35 |
| o0Chris0o | ahh that will help too :) | 08:36 |
| o0Chris0o | ahh very nice | 08:36 |
| thorwil | o0Chris0o: this effort is headed by Cory K., going as _MMA_ in here. he tends to stay away at weekends | 08:38 |
| o0Chris0o | thorwil: alright, good to know, does ubuntu theme have to be the orange, red, brown theme? | 08:40 |
| thorwil | o0Chris0o: so far it had to, but for Karmic, Mark Shuttleworth mentioned that brown "served us well", but it's time for something new | 08:41 |
| o0Chris0o | Mark Shuttleworth is the founder of of Canonical right? | 08:44 |
| thorwil | yes | 08:44 |
| thorwil | o0Chris0o: do you have examples of the work you did online? | 08:46 |
| o0Chris0o | I'm afraid not, I have been asbent at graphic design for a few years, a little rusty | 08:47 |
| o0Chris0o | I have worked for the local newspaper here where I live as a graphic artist a few years back, doing ad design and layout | 08:47 |
| o0Chris0o | I have a lot of hard copy work I have done over the years , but none on the computer | 08:48 |
| o0Chris0o | I am head to bed, thanks for the info thorwil | 08:55 |
| thorwil | o0Chris0o: np. we are always in need of experienced people :) | 08:56 |

| DanaG | Oh hey, who was it that made the most recent changes to the gdm theme? I actually liked the previous revision better -- the logo was nicely, discreetly nestled in the corner instead of being rather big and in-your-face like the new revision. | 22:11 |
| DanaG | The little login input-box surrounding thing also reminds me a bit much of those old fake-wood station wagons. | 22:11 |
| * SiDi thinks it's kwii | 22:11 | |
| SiDi | ping kwwii | 22:11 |
| DanaG | I do like the style of the logo, though -- the previous revision was perhaps the nicest ubuntu login theme I've seen. Nice and easy on the eyes, and such. | 22:12 |
| SiDi | Sounds like everyone's afk. | 22:14 |
| DanaG | Anyway, I figured such random comments don't quite make an ordinary bug report. =þ | 22:14 |
| SiDi | I didn't see what changed in the gdm, btw | 22:14 |
| DanaG | Compare the old background to the new one. The logo got way bigger, and moved up a lot. | 22:15 |
| DanaG | It's more "in-your-face", as I'd call it. | 22:15 |
| SiDi | I didn't even notice | 22:16 |
| SiDi | did it just happen ? :P | 22:16 |
| DanaG | Yeah, in recent updates as of yesterday. | 22:17 |
| DanaG | I was even using the gdm background as my wallpaper for a while on one of my older systems. | 22:18 |
| DanaG | My current wallpaper on my modern laptop does the day-fade thing: | 22:18 |
| DanaG | http://www.csc.calpoly.edu/~dgoyette/hp-slideshow.tar.lzma | 22:18 |
| DanaG | Has to go in /usr/share/backgrounds, and I haven't set it up for the non-widescreen res. I hacked at Fedora's Solar thingy. | 22:19 |
| SiDi | 14.5mb wallpaper ? | 22:19 |
| DanaG | Er, lemme see if I just post it as a dir instead. | 22:19 |
| SiDi | i'm 12 mins from FINALLY having that OpenSolaris LiveCD | 22:20 |
| * SiDi is excited | 22:20 | |
| DanaG | Oh yeah, I tried the OpenSolaris 2008 LiveCD.... it failed at lots of my hardware. | 22:21 |
| SiDi | I just wanna learn how to compile my meant-to-be-cross-platform-bittorren-client :D | 22:23 |
| DanaG | Intel wifi not work, not new enough radeon driver (thus used vesa), and no working hda audio. | 22:23 |
| DanaG | http://www.csc.calpoly.edu/~dgoyette/hp-slideshow | 22:24 |
| DanaG | wide is the only one I've set up. | 22:26 |
| SiDi | hehehe radeon drivers.. :P | 22:27 |
| DanaG | I'm using the open-source radeon driver from git, on my HD3650. | 22:27 |
| DanaG | fglrx has only ever worked for me for ONE version of fglrx. | 22:27 |
| DanaG | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/314600 | 22:28 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 314600 in fglrx-installer "fglrx versions newer than 8.543 cause system hang and panic" [Undecided,Fix released] | 22:28 |
| DanaG | not fixed. | 22:28 |
| DanaG | I'm not sure what to mark it. | 22:28 |
| SiDi | They must be desperate... and you know, with new xorg and new ati drivers coming, i doubt people will work on old drivers' bugs | 22:28 |
| DanaG | The problem is, the brand new 8.600 is just as broken! | 22:29 |
| DanaG | They marked it fixed without even asking. =þ | 22:29 |
| DanaG | Anyway, sort of off-topic for this channel. | 22:29 |
| DanaG | I do like having my wallpaper change color over the day -- that'd be something cool for the Ubuntu art-workers (yeah, not a great word) to look into. | 22:29 |
| SiDi | there's a script that updates the wallpaper, right ? | 22:30 |
| DanaG | It's an xml file, so libgnome-bg (or something like that) does it automatically. | 22:30 |
| DanaG | It fades over the course of two hours. | 22:31 |
| SiDi | Okies :) | 22:32 |
| SiDi | I need to go, see you | 22:32 |
