| mac_v | mat_t: hi... just an idea for the gdm > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/Boot#Iteration%202%20[GDM]%20edit%20by%20mac_v | 11:50 |
|---|---|---|
| mac_v | not sure how far it is feasible though ;p | 11:51 |
| mat_t | mac_v: very cool, not really implementable with the current gdm codebase | 11:51 |
| mat_t | exactly :) | 11:51 |
| mat_t | mac_v: for Karmic all we're doing is applying a custom theme to the existing gdm | 11:51 |
| mat_t | and shuffling some buttons around | 11:52 |
| mac_v | mat_t: why did you drop your face browser idea? | 11:52 |
| mat_t | mac_v: we didn't drop it. There was just nobody to implement it yet :) | 11:52 |
| mac_v | mat_t: anyways... something for Karmic+1 , or LTS ;) | 11:53 |
| mat_t | mac_v: definitely! | 11:53 |
| thorwil | you 2 really make for tidy irc logs, with your nicks lining up like that ;) | 11:54 |
| mat_t | mac_v: would be cool if we could start a separate page for the face browser concepts | 11:54 |
| mat_t | thorwil: that's one of our primary goals, to make those logs look semi-decent at last | 11:54 |
| mat_t | ;P) | 11:54 |
| mac_v | mat_t: i thought of some other crazy ideas for gdm , but dropped them due to a11y reasons , but yeah a separate page would be nice | 11:55 |
| mac_v | thorwil: ;p | 11:55 |
| * mac_v breaks the log :( | 11:55 | |
| thorwil | if ideas like mac_v's that can't be implemented, currently, are looked for, an extra page for that should be outside Karmic | 11:56 |
| mat_t | thorwil: correct | 11:56 |
| * mac_v suggests wil_t nic instead of thorwil | 11:58 | |
| thorwil | mac_v: fail! it should be thor_w, then | 11:59 |
| mac_v | no , to match ours | 11:59 |
| thorwil | tho_w, actually | 11:59 |
| thorwil | mac_v: but my marketing department doesn't permit that. they claim any change of nick would diminish brand recognition | 12:00 |
| mac_v | thorwil: yeah :) very true | 12:01 |
| mac_v | thorwil: are you subscribed to wiki trivial edits too! 0.o that should be a lot of spam! | 12:04 |
| thorwil | mac_v: only when John Baer gets to work :) | 12:04 |
| mac_v | hehe... ;) | 12:05 |
| thorwil | mac_v: there are sneaky bastards like ckontros who sometimes try to sneak non-trivial edits by marking them trivial. but not with me, no sire!! | 12:06 |
| thorwil | mwuhahaha! | 12:06 |
| mac_v | hm... 0.o nice idea | 12:07 |
| thorwil | no seriously, you could never successfully monitor wiki changes without being notified for any and all edits | 12:09 |
| thorwil | luckily we have no vandalism. except mine :) | 12:11 |
| mac_v | dont worry , when Ubuntu picks up user volume , you have those too... | 12:12 |
| mac_v | ;) | 12:12 |
| thorwil | good thing ubuntu has no noteworthy user volume, yet, then! ;) | 12:13 |
| mac_v | thorwil: why hasnt someone ,in the community, started a glossy set of icons? | 12:18 |
| mac_v | is it against some rule? | 12:18 |
| thorwil | mac_v: how would i know why others don't do something like that? | 12:20 |
| mac_v | hehe, i was just wondering... | 12:20 |
| thorwil | mac_v: but there have been many glossy icons all over the place and there are not many serious icon efforts | 12:20 |
| mac_v | yeah | 12:21 |
| dashua | bzr branch lp:hanso | 14:46 |
| dashua | Any opinions please let me know ? :) | 14:46 |
| FLOZz | Hello all _o/ | 15:48 |
| mac_v | thorwil: i added the mailing list link for mr.doob , should i remove it? i feel if the link was available permanently we have too much noise on the list from non-contributors ... or is it ok? | 16:42 |
| mac_v | would have* | 16:42 |
| thorwil | mac_v: i don't think such a link will lead to more noise | 16:46 |
| mac_v | ok, i'll leave it :) | 16:47 |
| mac_v | SiDi: heya... whats up? still no network? | 17:04 |
| SiDi | mac_v: no, no internet, thats why i'm here | 17:07 |
| mac_v | SiDi: guessed so , that must be the only reason you've been quiet ;p | 17:08 |
| mac_v | SiDi: hows notify-osd for xfce coming? | 17:09 |
| mac_v | comming along* | 17:09 |
| mac_v | coming* | 17:10 |
| * mac_v should stop correcting own typos , only leads to more typos! | 17:10 | |
| mac_v | thorwil: could you move my gdm submission , to a relevant page, pls ,i want to add a couple of ideas, i usually mess up creating new wiki pages | 17:32 |
| mac_v | or if you created a gdm page , i could add it there. | 17:34 |
| thorwil | mac_v: oh common, creating a page is child's play and the rest just cut-paste | 17:36 |
| thorwil | mac_v: only question is the path for that new page | 17:36 |
| mac_v | wiki page , i usually give stupid labels , and wrong path :( | 17:36 |
| mac_v | cut and paste is not the problem | 17:37 |
| thorwil | mat_t: what do you think where new gdm ideas outside current cycle should end up? | 17:37 |
| thorwil | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Login? | 17:39 |
| thorwil | though i wonder if that really should be handled isolated from boot splash | 17:39 |
| mac_v | i had same confusion while submitting :/ | 17:42 |
| thorwil | hmm? | 17:43 |
| mat_t | thorwil: How about https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/3DFaceBrowd | 17:43 |
| mat_t | bugger | 17:43 |
| * mat_t tries again | 17:43 | |
| mat_t | thorwil: How about https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/3DFaceBrowser | 17:44 |
| mat_t | the idea is to have a custom built 3D accelerated interface | 17:44 |
| thorwil | mat_t: you want it to be all about 3DFaceBrowser, not generally what ever crazy people like mac_v might come up with? ;) | 17:44 |
| mat_t | probably clutter based | 17:44 |
| mac_v | hehe... | 17:45 |
| mat_t | thorwil: absolutely whatever :) What we need is an encouragement to really stretch people's creativity | 17:45 |
| thorwil | mat_t: i suggest "Login" to not even point to specific technology (GDM) | 17:47 |
| mat_t | thorwil: exactly | 17:47 |
| mac_v | thorwil: how about "GDM" ? | 17:47 |
| mac_v | ih crap! | 17:47 |
| thorwil | if the focus should also encompass boot splashes, it should be "Boot" | 17:47 |
| mat_t | thorwil: to me the artwork team should have two paralell tracks > ongoing work (something that can be implemented into the nearest release) and future-oriented, experimental work | 17:48 |
| mat_t | the latter should not be restricted by current implementation issues | 17:48 |
| thorwil | mat_t: the current wiki guidelines state that stuff that isn't targeted at a specific release goes into Incoming directly | 17:49 |
| thorwil | and there's https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Concepts for far out stuff | 17:50 |
| mat_t | cool | 17:50 |
| mat_t | not much there.... | 17:51 |
| thorwil | mat_t: we have been rather discouraging of such efforts | 17:52 |
| mat_t | thorwil: ? | 17:52 |
| thorwil | mat_t: you see it quite often that someone puts quite a lot of work in some concept, ignoring most technical questions | 17:53 |
| thorwil | mat_t: sometimes some fans appear and cheer a bit | 17:53 |
| thorwil | mat_t: but there's never ever someone to implement anything | 17:54 |
| thorwil | mat_t: i do know the value of brainstorming and free creativity | 17:54 |
| thorwil | mat_t: but i'm also vary of wasting time. not only my own time | 17:55 |
| mat_t | thorwil: I see exactly what you mean | 17:55 |
| thorwil | mat_t: so if something is to happen there, it should be given structure from your side ;) | 17:55 |
| thorwil | mat_t: dinner time, bbl | 17:55 |
| mat_t | enjoy! | 17:56 |
| mac_v | thorwil: oops! my network-manager crashed , did you create a link? | 18:04 |
| mat_t | mac_v: how's the battery icon stuff? Did you try some other variants? | 18:04 |
| mac_v | mat_t: i tried to etch it in , but it will look almost the same so , not sure what to do , do you have any ideas? | 18:05 |
| mat_t | mac_v: have you tried with a subtle gradient on the bolt? | 18:06 |
| mac_v | hmm... the prob is the bolt is narrow and any gradient just makes it loose its shape , since we have limited options | 18:07 |
| thorwil | mac_v: no, didn't | 18:23 |
| mac_v | thorwil: no probs , no hurry, someday when you find time you can create it and remind me :) | 18:24 |
| thorwil | mac_v: i talked with mat and had dinner, instead ;) | 18:25 |
| thorwil | mac_v: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Login | 18:26 |
| mac_v | ;) i had back to back crashes of different apps , now i have got some fun backtrace to do ;p | 18:26 |
| mac_v | ah, nice... | 18:26 |
| thorwil | mac_v: it can always be moved/renamed later, if the need arises | 18:27 |
| mac_v | sure , no probs | 18:27 |
| thorwil | mac_v: you should write an introduction to make clear that page is not just for your stuff | 18:27 |
| mac_v | ok | 18:28 |
| thorwil | mac_v: then you might want to talk with mat_t about bringing it up on the mailing list | 18:28 |
| mac_v | hehe, "my stuff" , | 18:29 |
| mac_v | Ah...mat , yeah will do , | 18:29 |
| mac_v | thorwil: for now , i'll just move my stuff here , tomorrow i'll set it up properly , is that ok? | 18:30 |
| mac_v | or shall i do the copy paste tomorrow itself? | 18:31 |
| thorwil | mac_v: yes, ok | 18:32 |
| mac_v | thanks :) | 18:32 |
| thorwil | np | 18:33 |
