[14:05] <aaron11> Helo, I know there are less people in here but, Does anyone know when the countdown banners are showing up? I REALY cant wait for Karmic Koala to come! :S :S
[14:19] <aaron11> Helo
[14:19] <knome> aaron11, they should be soon enough, but i don't know when. newz2000?
[14:20] <aaron11> i read somewhere it was today>
[14:21] <knome> that's possible
[14:33] <newz2000> hi aaron11. I'll turn them on around the time we do the beta release. It'll be today, probably soon
[14:34] <aaron11> newz2000: you are the one that manages the whole site
[14:34] <newz2000> aaron11: yes
[14:34] <aaron11> newz2000: that is a big responsability
[14:35] <newz2000> Yes, I'm starting to delegate more and more
[14:36] <knome> newz2000, i can handle the part where money is transferred to my.. i mean canonicals bank account
[14:36] <aaron11> newz2000: tell me when you put them on the web
[14:37] <newz2000> aaron11: I will probably start publishing those before the beta is ready since they don't have to happen in sync
[14:37] <newz2000> knome: since you've helped so much, just give me your bank account number and I'll start routing some of the money to you
[14:38] <newz2000> :-D
[14:38] <knome> really?
[14:38] <knome> :P
[14:38] <knome> i was thinking some of marks money
[14:38] <knome> but yours is okay as well
[14:38] <aaron11> newz2000: is there ANOTHER alpha/beta
[14:38] <knome> gaga
[14:38] <knome> ;)
[14:39] <aaron11> newz2000: which banner did you chose
[14:39] <newz2000> today is "the" beta, in a couple weeks we'll have an RC then shortly after a release (Oct 30th I think is the date)
[14:40] <newz2000> we chose Aaron H's spotlight and thorwil's ring (of small stars w/ coloured logo)
[14:40] <knome> newz2000, only one rc?
[14:41] <newz2000> correct. The RC is a, "this is release unless somethign bad happens"
[18:11] <newz2000> countdown is up
[18:11] <newz2000> static one is at least
[18:11] <newz2000> Any news on the animated countdown?
[18:12]  * SiDi wants a countdown announcing his nomination as ad vidam aeternam president of the world.
[18:12] <SiDi> newz2000: i received yesterday a "daily" digest from ubuntu-website containing the last 2 months or so of mails
[18:12] <SiDi> so thats why you didnt see me at all in the meanwhile, i thought everyone had died...
[18:12] <newz2000> SiDi: wow, that's quite a digest
[18:13] <newz2000> That's what I need for sounder
[18:13] <SiDi> same happened for ubuntu-fr.... i had 174 mails in that digest
[18:13] <SiDi> needless to say i read none of those digests... :/
[18:14] <newz2000> I will ask to see if this is normal
[18:15] <newz2000> to be fair, you didn't miss a ton. It's been pretty quiet this time around
[18:26] <SiDi> newz2000: i dont think i'd have been really helpful anyway... I find less and less time for floss...
[19:46] <rime> http://markus.alshain.fi/markus/deve/slider/slider04.html  faster version of the slider
[20:19] <knome> rime, the frames are definitely not aligned to center ;)
[20:19] <knome> newz2000, !!
[20:22] <knome> rime, also, the slider might start with no fade in for the text, just appear
[20:23] <knome> newz2000, what do you think of that ^ ? would make the overall time shorter
[20:24] <newz2000> speed is good. I agree, start w/ text visible
[20:33] <rime> ok
[20:42] <knome> yeah, the quick fade in works
[20:42] <rime> :)
[20:43] <knome> is there still somthing to tweak?
[20:53] <knome> see you later
[22:18] <ryanakca> newz2000: Hi, do you have a link to the JS for the cowntdown banner (switch to the next image every day)?
[22:18] <newz2000> ryanakca: somethign different than what is on www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown ?
[22:20] <ryanakca> newz2000: lovely, thanks
