troy_sbognarandras: There are now six panels.00:07
troy_sbognarandras: They were clipped off00:07

werswhat's the name of the package for the new "light" gtk theme? :)01:55
LLStarkswhat's the difference between a shaded checkbox and a checked checkbox?03:34
LLStarksi see this on the software sources and chmod dialogs.03:34
persiaAnyone good at drawing diagrams and making .png and .pdf output have a few minutes to clean up a documentation bug about getting Ubuntu membership?04:46
troy_sLLStarks: Possible but not all.04:46
troy_spersia: Screenshot.04:46
persiaBasically, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership references a .png and .pdf in the "Procedure for Obtaining Membership", which ought be replaced with ones that remove "MOTU Council" and originate all the stuff previously originated from "MOTU Council" to "Developer Membership Board" (and I'm bad enough with the tools that it will take me hours).04:47
troy_spersia: So s/MOTU Council/Developer Membership Board04:49
troy_spersia: That's it?04:49
persiatroy_s: That's it: just combine the boxes.  MOTU Council looks like it's going away (two of the remaining three members have called for it to end), and DMB is doing that work now.04:50
troy_spersia: Damn you... now you confused me - 'combine'?04:50
troy_spersia: I see the MC box04:51
troy_spersia: But it goes away? I don't see a Dev membership board.04:51
* persia reloads the .png04:52
troy_spersia: I can nuke it relatively quickly.04:53
troy_spersia: But combine, I'd need to know what to combine with.04:53
troy_s;)04:53
persiaOK.  LOoking at the PNG.  On the far right side, near the top, is "Ubuntu Developer Membership Board".04:53
persia"MOTU Council (MC)" appears to the left of that, and slightly below.04:54
persiaDo you see both of those?04:54
troy_sYes... looking04:59
troy_spersia: Sorry you got to ping me.04:59
troy_spersia: Otherwise I am usually busy doing window flipping.04:59
troy_spersia: Both in blue. See them both. What would you prefer sir?05:00
persiaThat all the arrows that come from MC are moved to DMB, and that the MC box goes away.05:01
persiaThanks a lot for fixing this :)05:01
troy_spersia: No problem. Working on it.05:06
troy_sAll of MC and MC goes away totally persia, correcting now.05:06
persiatroy_s: For the purposes of getting membership, yes.05:08
persiaFor this to change in the future, the MC would need to be essentially started from scratch, and be given new rights from the CC all over again (which is unlikely to happen for at least some time)05:08
troy_spersia http://imagebin.ca/view/ok1iE-2Y.html05:37
troy_spersia: That work?05:37
troy_spersia: Or do you require more directionality in the flows?05:41
troy_spersia: Which is an easy fix.05:41
vishtroy_s: pfff... show off ;)05:55
troy_svish: Bah... infographic05:55
troy_spersia: http://imagebin.ca/view/8fYclkUB.html06:07
troy_spersia: I will attach it to the wiki for you in both PNG and SVG formats. Deal?06:07
persiatroy_s: That looks great.  Thanks!  Please do attach to the wiki.06:08
troy_spersia: There you go. Both are there.06:08
persia(not only correct, but much better than the old one)06:09
troy_spersia: It was a bit of a mess before, and considering the audience that likely wants to see it.06:09
troy_spersia: Hopefully that makes it a little clearer.06:09
troy_spersia: I'd include the map inline just for those that want to know.06:09
troy_spersia: As I imagine membership spans a pretty large number of people.06:09
persiaDo you know how to do that?  I'm not that good with the wiki aside from text cahnges.06:10
troy_spersia: Let me scale a version too... hold.06:10
persiaWe're at 584 members today, but we've been up to 900 before, and I suspect there's another 500 that are currently thinking about applying.06:10
troy_spersia: Ugh wiki is getting hammered or something.06:10
troy_spersia: Wow... membership goes down???06:11
vishpersia: does the MOTU lead to the core team?06:11
troy_spersia: Or are you talking strictly MOTU?06:11
troy_svish: I think I may have bogged that.06:11
troy_sGRR06:11
persiatroy_s: Membership.  Not everyone stays a member (they sometimes get distracted by other things).06:12
troy_svish: Yep. Good spot. BOG.06:12
persiaCore leads to MOTU though.06:12
* persia double-checks06:12
vishyay , i found a mistake in troy_s' work.. damn its not in the art though :/06:13
persiaCore Dev is a member of MOTU.  Both Core Dev and MOTU are members of Ubuntu Dev.  MOTU is a member of Universe Contributors06:13
troy_svish: Oh god no. There are plenty of those too.06:13
troy_svish: Believe me, when I say I can see crap it is largely because that is about all I am capable of.06:14
vish;p06:14
troy_spersia: So MOTU can fork to the Ubuntu Development Team, not the Ubuntu Core Development Team.06:14
troy_spersia: I fixed it methinks.06:14
troy_svish: Proof!06:14
persiatroy_s: Right.06:14
persiatroy_s: Well, not fork, but MOTU are implicitly members of Ubuntu Development Team.06:15
persiaCore Developers are implicitly members of *both* MOTU and Ubuntu Development Team.06:15
troy_shttp://imagebin.ca/view/3u7dM2Mu.html06:15
troy_sTHAT is correct correct?06:15
troy_sErk. That might need a back forth arrow then correct?06:16
troy_spersia: the original map needed some more attention then... technically core points to motu and dev team then?06:16
troy_s(wow, this is worse than parliment.)06:16
troy_sCraps...06:17
troy_spersia: So yes?06:17
troy_sCore points at DEV TEAM _and_ MOTU06:17
troy_sCorrect?06:17
vishtroy_s: need to add an arrow from core to motu , that should be it06:17
persiaRIght.06:17
troy_shttp://imagebin.ca/view/19oxYn.html06:19
troy_sProof?06:19
troy_svish: correct?06:19
troy_sPretty funky monkey down there in MOTU ville. Lol.06:19
vishtroy_s: seems good06:19
persiaYeah.  At some point we'll get the development teams sorted :)06:23
persiaBut there's a distinction that's being lost here.06:23
persiaThe "Ubuntu Members", "Kubuntu Members", "Ubuntu Universe Contributors", "Ubuntu Development Team", "Masters of the Universe", and "Ubuntu Core Development Team" are teams.06:24
persia"Kubuntu Council", "Edubuntu Council", "Developer Membership Board", and the regional boards are councils that approve teams.06:25
vishtroy_s: the Ubuntu DM Board needs to have color too06:25
persiaIn the old diagram, the former set were ovals, and the latter set were rectangles.06:25
troy_sBalls.06:25
troy_sOk hold.06:25
persiaAh, the red:/blue distinction.  That makes sense.06:25
troy_sI just noticed that as I am making them the Ubuntu aubergine now.06:25
troy_shttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership06:32
troy_sThat look right?06:32
troy_spersia / vish?06:33
persiaIt looks right to me.06:33
troy_spersia: Ok if there is a wiki admin freakout over the page changes, you can deal with it.06:33
troy_sLOL06:33
troy_spersia: Your cred trumps mine by a major margin.06:33
persiaThe only thing I might do differently is to make the entire team names red or blue, but that's not terribly important.06:33
troy_spersia: Ok hold...06:34
troy_spersia: So What teams?06:34
persiatroy_s: Absolutely.  If you get any complaints, point them at me.06:34
persiaAll of them :)06:34
troy_spersia: Dev Team, Core Team, ???06:34
troy_spersia: No what set should be grouped?06:34
troy_spersia: You want what elements grouped?06:34
persiaNo.  The sets and elements are all correct.06:34
troy_spersia: But you want the Dev team to be different than say Core Development Team color?06:35
persiaAnd the teams are well differentiated from councils/boards.06:35
persiaNo.06:35
troy_spersia: LOL. Ok I'll stop talking.06:35
persiaFor example, "Kubuntu Members" has one colour for "Kubuntu" and another for "Members".06:35
persiaBut like I said, it's very minor.06:35
troy_spersia: Ok so what ones would that apply to?06:35
troy_spersia: Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and???06:35
persiaEvery box :)06:36
vishpersia: troy_s: the K/E/Ubuntu color could remain , but we can add a bit of color to the other MOTU/teams06:36
troy_spersia: Balls. Last time I checked there wasn't a standards guide for MOTU. None of them have palettes :)06:36
persiaEvery box represents a group in launchpad.  The lighter-grey groups have admin rights over the darker-gray groups.06:36
persiatroy_s: Really don't worry about it.06:36
persiaOh, I did notice something (which makes it complicated).06:37
troy_spersia: So MOTU and CORE DEV has admins over Dev and Contrib?06:37
troy_spersia: Ok shoot.06:37
persia"Ubuntu Developer Membership Board" has admin over all four of "Ubuntu Universe Contributors", "Ubuntu Development team", "Masters of the Universe", and "Ubuntu Core Development Team".06:37
persiaNo, MOTU and CoreDev are members of UUC and UbuntuDev06:38
persia(as teams, so members in MOTU are implicit members of UUC, for example).06:38
troy_spersia: Herm... so you want to show admin rights by Dev Membership board over the four under it (in this case above)06:38
persiaPlease :)  And thanks for putting up with my inability to express myself.06:38
troy_spersia: It's ok... might require a little more thought though now adding the extra dimension... Those fricking arrows were uh... not good enuf.06:39
troy_spersia: So Ubuntu Developer membership board technically cascades into MOTU as well even though it only shows as going into Core Dev Team?06:40
persiaRight.  This recently changed (in the past couple months).06:40
persiaThe DMB was given admin rights to MOTU and UUC (which were previously held by MOTU Council), and to Ubuntu-dev and Ubuntu-core-dev (which were previously held by the TB).06:41
troy_spersia: Ok, so apologies to not be too redundant - but DEV BOARD governs ALL FOUR under it. MOTU and CORE DEV govern only Contrib and Dev Team respectively?06:41
persiaAlmost.06:41
troy_spersia: ALMOST?06:41
persiaDEV BOARD governs all four under it.06:41
troy_sYes.06:41
persiaMOTU and CORE DEV don't govern anything.06:41
troy_spersia: MOTU covers Contrib no?06:42
persiaMOTU is a member of Contrib and Development TEam06:42
troy_sas does Core Dev over Dev team?06:42
troy_sWow.06:42
persiaCORE DEV is a member of MOTU and Development team06:42
troy_sOk06:42
persia"Kubuntu Members", "Edubuntu Members", "Ubuntu Universe Contributors", "Ubuntu Development Team" are members of Ubuntu members.06:42
troy_sOK ... I think I got my head around it.06:42
persiaThe Regional boards are admins of Ubuntu Members.06:43
wersis the new theme up for download yet? :)06:43
troy_sWhat a mess. It's worse than a fricking government system in some strange third world nation.06:43
troy_swers: Um... why?06:44
persiatroy_s: Yeah.  Now that you've made me go through all the permutations, I think I'll try to get it sorted.06:44
troy_swers: It really is the weakest link in all of the new identity work.06:44
troy_spersia: LOL06:44
persiaAll the many different development teams should just be members of *one* membership team.06:44
werstroy_s, i wanna try it06:44
troy_spersia: I am trying to visualize it as overlapping bits... arrows indicate flow which isn't quite right really.06:45
troy_spersia: I think I have a handle on it.06:45
persiawers: If you mean "adium-theme-ubuntu", the package just got past NEW in LP, and should show up on mirrors soon.  You can pull it straight from LP if you're in a hurry.06:45
werspersia, cool. is it the package for the "light" theme?06:45
persiaI have no idea.  I just know it's a new theme.  I'm not in a hurry.06:46
persiaI also know it will be installed by default (but I don't know if it will be selected by default)06:46
werspersia, oh. apparently, the theme depends on the adium-theme-ubuntu package06:47
wersi still don't know the package for the light theme, though...06:48
persianeither I.  I'm just guessing based on the metainformation in the ubuntu-artwork package.06:49
wersooh. maybe06:51
werspersia, i think, you're right. http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/all/ubuntu-artwork06:51
vishwers: the adium theme is for empathy iirc06:52
wersvish, yep. and ubuntu-artwork depends on it. without adium-theme, we wont get the package with the "light" theme06:53
persiahttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adium-theme-ubuntu is more interesting06:53
persia(packages.ubuntu.com is often out of date)06:53
werspersia, cool! installing now. let's see :D06:54
wersnow installing ubuntu-artwork from lucid! high five persia !06:55
wersnow, where's the new theme? hmm06:56
vishwers: hehe , no theme , just the logo ;p06:56
wersvish, aw. haha. where can i even see the logo?06:57
vishwers: the theme ,will be in a separate package , if it replaces human06:57
vishwers: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/distributor-logo.png06:58
wersvish, okay... let's wait for the package then. it's probably going to be light-theme-ubuntu06:58
wersvish, yeah, but where will it show? gnome hides icons06:58
werson menus, i mean06:59
vishwers: about ubuntu in the help06:59
vishrather in the documentation06:59
troy_spersia: I need to think on it. NOT an easy infographic to provide a solution for with the double back nature of the dev team in areas.07:00
vishthe font there hasnt changed yet07:00
wershasnt changed here..07:00
vishwers: the logo has07:00
persiatroy_s: No worries.  Thanks a lot for digging into this.  I'll try to fix the dev team stuff, but it will take months to go through all the right approvals.07:01
troy_spersia: Lol. Fix it in the name of infographics. We don't want fish swimming upstream and downstream.07:01
wersi cant see it.. actually, even my distributor-logo hasnt changed. oh well07:01
persiatroy_s: I'd just like something simple enough to fit in one's head :)  The intertwined nature now is just confusing and broken.07:03
troy_spersia: Yes... the overlaps are totally fine until you get into dev team , core dev, motu and contrib07:03
troy_sthe double fork out of motu and core dev really ... make a mess of it.07:04
persiaYeah.  I have to think a bit about the right structure, but I think there's a way it *can* make sense.07:04
persiaBut that page doesn't even have "Ubuntu Desktop Developers", "Kubuntu Developers", "Mythbuntu Developers", "Ububntu Kernel Developers", or "Ubuntu CLI/Mono Developers", which only make things messier.07:05
persiaSo really, what is needed, is some sensible model that doesn't push far too much information at the user.07:06
troy_sAmen persia, amen.07:06
* persia sends mail to various boards and groups responsible for the mess07:07
persiatroy_s: Shall I revert the wiki change pending your deeper thought?07:10
troy_spersia: Well I think it works ok for now... we just need to figure out how the hell to get the additional information in there.07:10
troy_spersia: It's a hack.07:10
persiatroy_s: There are still links to the *old* .png and .pdf files.  Do you want to remove those?07:10
troy_spersia: You could point to the new PNG and remove the PDF. It at least has updated info.07:11
troy_spersia: Generating a PDF isn't terribly difficult, but maybe we leave that until we have a better map.07:11
persiaOK, and I think I'll try to hide the current map behind the graphics link until we fix it.07:11
troy_spersia: Sure.07:12
* persia tries to make the wiki follow instructions07:12
zniavrei can't make tooltips as this new light theme (it uses new-tooltip-style ?)07:48
thorwil"Another point is that purple looks nice, but it is not a professional color at all. Sadly blues and grays are often considered more professional looking."--why do i even bother to check the forum?09:44
knomehehe09:46
Cedric25no new sound theme ?10:38
MenZaAny SVGs out for the new branding yet?10:50
thorwilMenZa: for all i know, no11:29
MenZaright11:29
MenZaI attempted to vectorise them in Inkscape, but I'm going to wait. The product wasn't as shibby as it should have been, even with a bit of tweaking.11:30
thorwileither it has to go on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Official, or that page has to be killed11:30
zniavrewhat is csd ?11:33
sanderqdif anyone sees ivanka majic, could you tell her the link to https://wiki.canonical.com/BrandRefresh/Announce is not public?11:34
iainfarrellhi sanderqd11:34
iainfarrellwhat was she trying to share is this on her blog?11:34
sanderqdiainfarrell: yes, http://www.ivankamajic.com/?p=27111:35
iainfarrellahh I see11:35
iainfarrellwill let her know11:35
iainfarrellthanks for the heads up11:35
sanderqdcool, thanks, also congrats on the release11:35
iainfarrellthanks :)11:35
iainfarrellwe're all very excited11:36
lassegulshi guys whats up. Someone has to fix the screenshots with the close minimize buttons on the wrong side, the internet is spazzing out.11:36
lassegulsgj btw11:36
sanderqdiainfarrell: would be cool to read more about the new branding's background, i hope to learn something fundamental about design in these open source communities ;-)11:36
iainfarrellwell in the meantime if you have any questions ping them our way11:37
iainfarrellwe will respond on blogs or IRC :)11:37
sanderqdwill do, thanks11:37
iainfarrellAlthough it's artwork freeze today11:37
zniavrelasseguls,  :o)11:37
iainfarrellso we might not be quick to come back ;)11:37
lassegulsi am right that this is just kwwii's personal prefrences right?11:38
zniavrealso mine i never seen kwwii desktop11:38
iainfarrellwhat do you mean?11:39
lassegulsthe close minimize maximize buttons on the left hand side11:39
zniavreosx layout of metacity buttons11:39
iainfarrellThat's what we're proposing, it's not the same as OSX though11:39
zniavreor non-windows layout ...11:39
lassegulswow, its not osx layout11:39
lassegulsu are actually proposing that? i thought it was just kenneths desktop, i remember him having it like that11:40
lassegulsthen im wondering, whats the thoughts behind that?11:40
iainfarrellwe're genuinely proposing it, we feel it works11:40
lucazadeand the bottom panel? just wondering?11:40
iainfarrellbottom panel is hidden rather than shown the whole time, with that we're thinking that it removes items that people may not use a lot of the time so it's there when they need it but not when they don't11:41
lucazadeok thanks11:41
zniavreif there is a revolution in this theme its funny it's just the buttons layout11:41
lassegulsi agree with that decision, smart11:42
iainfarrellthese are all things that users can adjust if they don't like it - unlike many other OSes out there ;)11:42
lucazadeyes of course11:42
zniavrethat s true11:42
thorwilnow i'm disappointed11:42
lassegulsiainfarrell: yeah but you still have a huge responsibility of making the default experienced as good as possible11:42
iainfarrellbut we really think this adds and that's why we're including it11:43
iainfarrellwe do11:43
iainfarrelland as good as possible for new users11:43
iainfarrellso we're trying to make it attractive and simplify the desktop a bit11:43
lassegulsbut wont the button placement just confuse both windows, mac and ubutnu users?11:43
iainfarrellWe don't think so but we are user testing so we'll find out11:43
iainfarrellit's clearly labeled though and a different colour so we think pretty obvious11:44
zniavreim using this layout since breezy11:44
lassegulsiainfarrell: cool. reddit, ubuntuforums, and digg doesnt seem to appriciate it though.11:44
lassegulsbut why not the close button in the corner, like osx?11:44
thorwillasseguls: folks at all those places never appreciate what they do not understand. saying this independent of whether this layout is good or not :)11:45
zniavrethink different ...11:45
lassegulsthorwil: yeah, ive been around long enough to get that :)11:46
iainfarrellI don't know, I manage the team rather than work on all the designs and I wasn't sure to start with but I've not experienced any niggles and I like ti11:46
darkmatterclose should be in a corner, or more precisely. the corner opposite the min/max. it prevents accidental closure of a window11:46
thorwiliainfarrell: are you doing any eye and/or pointer tracking?11:46
darkmatterit may involve more mouse travel, but it avoids accidents11:47
lassegulslike the web designers say, the sites the users mostly browse is: not yours. Dont give them something unexpected if you dont have a real good reason for doing that.11:47
iainfarrellit depends where we do the testing11:48
iainfarrellwe have access to that setup11:48
iainfarrellbut we'll be sharing research over time too11:48
iainfarrellwe had the hackfest here last week11:48
lassegulsdarkmatter brings up a good point. the standard placement is usually pretty alone, which prevents accidentally clicking min/max/close.11:48
iainfarrelland we'll be doing a bunch more testing like the empathy testing11:48
lassegulsempathy work <311:49
lassegulsgj11:49
iainfarrellyou think it needs a bit of love? ;)11:49
thorwiliainfarrell: some claim people would look on the left side more, or the cursor would be in that area more often. would be great to have data for all out to see11:49
sanderqdlasseguls: ubuntu is the 3rd most used desktop OS, it can has its own interaction standards, does not have to abide to the same principles as 'small web sites'11:49
lassegulsiainfarrell: no, i mean the user testing u did etc was great!11:49
iainfarrelloh I see11:50
iainfarrellcool11:50
iainfarrellglad you liked it11:50
lassegulssanderqd: the point still stands, if you change something, be sure to have a reason why. this rule also applies to BIG websites like MS etc.11:50
sanderqdthe web is one platform, the ubuntu desktop is another. but sure, i believe there are good reasons for these changes11:51
lassegulssanderqd: i agree that its different. But i still wonder what that reason is.11:51
thorwilsanderqd: wen and desktop being separate platforms sure explains why some users double-click on web links ;)11:52
thorwilweb and desktop, even11:52
darkmatterbrand/marketing. ubuntu want's to feel less like elephant droppings11:52
iainfarrellthe Ayatana mailing list is the place to pose those questions11:53
sanderqdlasseguls: thinking about it, it seems quite logical to have the X next to the window/app title (since that's what you close), and the max/minimize buttons more close to the window corner, like the resize handle is11:53
thorwiliainfarrell: i think by now nobody really knows what does and doesn't belong on the ayatana list11:53
thorwili mean, the purpose and scope doesn't seem clear to me at all11:54
thorwili vaguely recall that Mark proposed having a closed list, the noise settled down ...11:56
iainfarrellthorwil: I think questions about the new desktop should be exactly that place11:56
iainfarrellor come to blogs like Ivanka11:56
iainfarrellor find us on Twitter11:56
iainfarrellor here :)11:56
andreasniainfarrell, does Ivanka do irc? I need to get hold of her11:58
iainfarrellyeah11:58
thorwilIvanka is clever for staying out of here, i suppose11:58
iainfarrelllike I said, we're a bit busy with the artwork freeze11:58
andreasnregarding a hackergotchi11:58
iainfarrellno, want to be signed in but this week has been very very busy :)11:59
andreasnI'll send her a e-mail11:59
iainfarrell:)11:59
lassegulsiainfarrell: but doesnt that mean that the decision of where to place the close min max buttons have to be done before the freeze?12:00
lassegulshi andreasn long time no see.12:00
andreasnheya lasseguls! All well?12:01
iainfarrellyes but you can still discuss it12:01
iainfarrellI would imagine it would stay in given it's easy enough to change12:01
lassegulsiainfarrell: its a gconf key? gconf isnt for human beings ;)12:02
iainfarrellfair enough, although we still think that a lot of users will like it like this12:03
sanderqdit's also easy to write a small program that does the gconf change, there already seem to be tweakUI-like apps12:04
lassegulsyeah, im not saying that power users will have problems getting around it, they probably change themes anyway12:05
sanderqdnon-power users probably don't even bother thinking about it12:05
sanderqd"oh, it's on the other side, that's new, ah well"12:06
lassegulssanderqd: :P thats not my experience of regular users12:06
lasseguls"you are saying that internet is no longer a blue E? WTF has the world become!?"12:07
lassegulsbut one point id like to make is that this is a pretty big change, and can be hard to go back on if it turns out it was a mistake12:07
lassegulsyou cant change the placement of window controls every release.12:08
darkmatter[ x ]<Caption>[ _ ] [ ^ ] <-- that's what I meant by avoiding accidental closure12:10
darkmatterit sensible, it's been used for ages, and it's a *nix tradition12:12
lassegulstoo bad i dont have a virtual machine here, i would like to test it a bit. but from looking at the screenshots i get the feeling that aesthetically it is unbalanced with the buttons on the left side.12:13
sanderqdlasseguls: it isn't available for testing yet anyway12:13
lassegulsand OSX is a different beast entirely when it comes to balance since they dont have the file edit etc. menu.12:13
lassegulssanderqd: yeh, but u can still change the gconf ;)12:14
sanderqdlasseguls: ALT-F2, gconftool-2 -t str -s /apps/metacity/general/button_layout maximize,minimize,close:12:16
sanderqdto revert, gconftool-2 -t str -s /apps/metacity/general/button_layout menu:minimize,maximize,close12:16
darkmatterthe only thing that really 'unbalances' it per se is the title should be more or less centered12:16
lassegulssanderqd: thank you, but alt-f2 doesnt do anything in windows ^^12:17
lassegulsdarkmatter: you are right, the upper left corner is really cluttered, maybe it would help with the window tile centered.12:17
lasseguls*title12:18
darkmatteroverall the theme itself isn't bad. it's a nice refresh, but it could use a little refinement. one sec. I actually found a mockup based on the new metacity12:19
lassegulsthe palette i really like.12:20
darkmatterthis has nothing to do with button layouts nor my personally opinions on the theme itself, just regarding 'refinement': http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/062/f/a/Ubuntu_lucid_theme_improvement_by_Scnd101.png12:22
lassegulsthat was quick12:23
darkmatteras if you look at the official state of the theme, the gradients in the button are + the lighting is kinda harsh/unfinished feeling12:23
darkmatterlasseguls: it's not mine. I just thought it was a nice 'update' to the overall look12:24
lassegulsdarkmatter: i agree. this one is softer, yeat clearer.12:24
lasseguls*yet12:24
lassegulsthat guy is good. lots of nice mockups12:27
darkmatterlasseguls: yeah. I'm not saying 'copy his work'. I'm just using it as a visual comparison as to how the official feels a bit harsh/rushed. like I said. overall its a decent theme. it just needs refining12:27
Cedric25no new sound theme ?12:28
* darkmatter proposes a 451 CobraJet being throttled as the new login sound :O12:31
lassegulsjust saw that the rounded corners look pixellated. i think ive seen lots of metacity-themes doing that correctly, among them homosapien12:31
zniavrewich is the panel icons theme in those new themes ?12:57
lassegulszniavre: i would guess humanity?12:58
zniavrevolume and messaging menu are not like that12:59

AgafonovHi! Can you tell me what font is used in new ubuntu logo? I found Sone very similar but not exactly :(14:19
persiaI believe it to be a special font, based on traffic in -motu from about 18 hous ago.14:23
Agafonovwill it be free for use?14:25
knomeit will have the same license as the current one14:25
knomeit's not released yet14:25
knomeand will not be released in th following days, at least completely, since it's not ready14:26
Agafonovcan we contact our russian designers (if we found one) to contribute cyrillic support as soon as possible?14:27
knomeAgafonov, you should be in touch with iainfarrell about that14:27
Agafonoviainfarrell: what can you say?14:29
knomebbl14:30
iainfarrellhi there14:30
iainfarrellsorry14:30
iainfarrellhaven't been watching the conversation14:30
thorwiliainfarrell: question was about the logo font14:31
Agafonoviainfarrell: can we contact our russian designers (if we found one) to contribute cyrillic support to the new ubuntu font as soon as possible?14:31
iainfarrellwe're actually developing cyrillic as part of the font development14:32
iainfarrellso it is coming14:32
Agafonovgreat!14:32
iainfarrellwe'll have a full roman, greek and cyrillic by around October14:32
Agafonov:)14:32
iainfarrellwatch this space :)_14:33
thorwiliainfarrell: buiding an entire font to match the logo-type seems odd to me, as i would think it should remain special. will there be a different weight, accompanying italic, narrow, etc.?14:33
persiaiainfarrell: How about support for more complex characters (mostly east & south asian)?14:35
iainfarrellthe idea with more complex characters and languages14:35
iainfarrellis that we will work with community designers/ young designers who are interested14:35
iainfarrelland try and get them to work with our design agency14:35
persiaMakes sense.14:35
islingtonI see no mention of kubuntu on the wiki page?14:37
iainfarrellwe're working with Jonathan Riddell and the Kubuntu council on updating the logo for them14:37
iainfarrellbut we're encouraging them to retain their distintivness14:37
iainfarrellthe themes for KDE are so different to ours14:38
iainfarrelland people choose a different window manager for a reason14:38
iainfarrellso we're not going to try and impose our vision on Xubuntu/ Kubuntu14:38
iainfarrellEdubuntu uses a lot of the main Ubuntu assets anyway so will remain largely the same14:38
Agafonoviainfarrell: so, you will prpbably deny help offers for cyrillic font part? Just looking for a way to speedup the process...14:39
iainfarrellAgafonov: thanks for the offer but for now as we're engaged with people and they're not set up to work with a community we'll probably wait14:40
iainfarrellit's a very expensive and lengthy process14:40
iainfarrelland to introduce extra people now14:40
iainfarrellwould slow it down in the long term14:40
iainfarrellalthough I should stress14:40
iainfarrellwe don't want to rush the font development14:40
iainfarrellwe want a type face we can be proud of and love looking at for years to come14:41
islingtonthats good, personally I think kubuntu should develop a branding like opensuse did.14:41
Agafonoviainfarrell: anyway, thanks for information. we will wait for it ;)14:42
iainfarrellAgafonov: my pleasure14:42
lassegulsiainfarrell: whats the plan with the icons? From the screenshot, the icons are really the only part of the desktop that is orange. Is this the look you are going for, or just a remenant of the old?14:45
knomebtw iainfarrell, sent you email earlier today. have you had a chance to read it?14:49
islingtonlol posted that to flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/47414073@N07/4405828245/in/pool-ubuntu-artwork14:50
iainfarrellhey knome I've not had a chance yet, I'll come back to you :)14:50
iainfarrelllasseguls: We're keeping the icons for now, keep an eye on the panel though ;)14:51
lassegulsiainfarrell: i wont look away14:52
lassegulsever14:52
iainfarrellLOL14:53
iainfarrellknome: Thanks for the mail, I'll need to review with the guys and come back to you but it's artwork freeze day today14:53
iainfarrellso everyone's pretty stacked14:53
iainfarrellcan I get back to you tomorrow?14:53

troy_sthorwil: HILARIOUS20:55
troy_sthorwil: Someone posted a thing about audience on Marks blog20:55
troy_sthorwil: And guess what? It got removed.20:55
thorwiltroy_s: what did that "thing" say?20:55
troy_sthorwil: It was a polite question. Can't remember exactly.20:55
troy_sthorwil: Pertaining to the ignorance factor... and poof.20:56
troy_slol20:56
thorwiltroy_s: "... to a design sprint, to test that the concept had the legs to work with the full range of ..."21:00
troy_sthorwil: ?21:00
thorwiltroy_s: from monday to wednesday, it would clearly have been an option to find that it had no legs21:00
troy_sWell I applaud the fact that there is a willingness to at least try things.21:01
thorwiltroy_s: "testing" under conditions that do not allow it to be found lacking21:01
thorwili love that21:01
thorwilthe dimensions concept ain't bad21:06
troy_sthorwil: The net sum effort, whatever the opinion, could be justifiably be called 'better' if you do a before and after comparison. I just worry a little that people have equated with the walking away from brown as being the lynch pin as to why Ubuntu was stinky.21:06
thorwilyeah21:06
troy_sthorwil: When, in truth, we don't exactly see much different landing where it counts - on the desktop. Is that a lens flare? Not quite. What exactly is that?21:06
troy_slol21:06
troy_sthorwil: That's about my only sort of alarm issue - the core issues that led up to the culmination of what we saw before are similar.21:07
troy_sthorwil: I mean it is also grossly unfair to lump developer / user on a polarized scale (how many contributors are uptakers as well?)21:07
troy_sthorwil: Or for that matter, jamming all Enterprise under one roof. There has got to be a huge diverse breadth of enterprise there, no?21:08
thorwiltroy_s: a single font for the logos and use in the interface?21:08
troy_sthorwil: Yeah that screams nightmare.21:08
troy_slol21:08
thorwiltroy_s: i was hoping it would a logo-type and a font that works well with it, but is not identical21:09
thorwilkwwii: ^21:10
troy_sthorwil: Inexperience? I mean it isn't like there is anyone around here that has built huge brands, but even a dimwit with a book knows that.21:10
thorwiltroy_s: inexperience is ok. ignorance not21:11
troy_sthorwil: It's like suggesting that Apple smatter Chicago all over.21:11
troy_sthorwil: Which didn't happen.21:11
thorwiltroy_s: have to go, cya!21:12
kwwiithere is going to be a font family, not just a font: so one for the desktop, a related yet different one(s) for other uses21:14
kwwiinaturally ;)21:14
kwwiihi psyke8321:14
troy_skwwii: So Ubuntu Sans, Ubuntu Serif, Ubuntu Title Case etc?21:14
kwwiithanks for the tip ;)21:14

psyke83nice21:16
kwwiioh, and the themes are named Ambiance and Radiance21:16
troy_skwwii: Default chosen yet?21:30
kwwiitroy_s: Ambiance (the one with the dark top is currently marks favorite)21:31
troy_skwwii: Thank god.21:31
troy_skwwii: *cough* windeco21:32
troy_skwwii: The new logotype is pretty lovely.21:32
kwwiithe curving of the N and A is simply amazing21:32
troy_skwwii: If I had to pick one thing that is most impressive, its that type.21:32
kwwiinaturally, the desktop font doesn't have much of that21:33
troy_skwwii: No. Have you seen it?21:33
