| MTecknology | Is the new theme going to be opened up to the public? | 14:45 |
|---|---|---|
| cjohnston | eventually | 14:48 |
| cjohnston | they wont tell us when | 14:48 |
| MTecknology | oh | 14:49 |
| MTecknology | will this still be for Drupal 5 or are they moving up to Drupal 6 or 7? | 14:50 |
| MTecknology | I'm just curious because I know for me to keep the ubuntu-drupal project going whether I get teh source or not, I'll have to tear it apart so I can chunk it into little modules and everything. For Drupal 6; I think I'm pretty much done developing new stuff, I've been gearing up for the change to D7 | 14:52 |
| cjohnston | I couldn't tell you.. I don't get any answers.. lol | 15:02 |
| cjohnston | newz2000: you around yet? | 15:02 |
| newz2000 | cjohnston: kind of | 15:03 |
| cjohnston | Can you answer MTecknology's questions? | 15:03 |
| newz2000 | hey MTecknology: You're going to get some kind of help but I don't think the plan is to have dozen's of ubuntu.com clone sites. This is still in discussion | 15:04 |
| newz2000 | If nothing else we'll push to have a community theme building project here in the web-team | 15:05 |
| MTecknology | newz2000: My goal of it is for loco sites, I already do that for the current theme. http://ubuntu-il.com/site/ | 15:06 |
| newz2000 | Yeah, that would be an example of a "clone site" that I don't think we want to encourage. Instead, | 15:07 |
| newz2000 | what is better is to have a theme that shows a relationship without being a duplicate | 15:07 |
| newz2000 | So that the sites feel unified and connected w/out leading people to think they're still on the same site | 15:07 |
| MTecknology | oh, i didn't realized I made it mimic that closely :P | 15:08 |
| newz2000 | I know it's exciting to see the chagnes - think about it but hold tight | 15:09 |
| MTecknology | I'm only thinking now, I've been getting a lot of questions about it already | 15:10 |
| newz2000 | I've got about three emails drafted to the web team to help answer questions and provide guidance for upcoming projects | 15:13 |
| newz2000 | but there's so much happening that every time I draft it gets out-dated | 15:13 |
| MTecknology | newz2000: so if we make a new theme that's kind of close to what you guys come up with but very noticably different, not just enough for legal distinction, that's ok? | 15:13 |
| MTecknology | or still not what you're thinking? | 15:14 |
| newz2000 | I im talks with the project manager in antoher IRC channel to hopefully have some more details ironed out | 15:14 |
| newz2000 | MTecknology: yeah, I think that's ideal | 15:14 |
| newz2000 | alejandraobregon has put some great thought and effort into the current design so we should get a little more details about that public so that we can apply the best parts of her work (as they pertain to community sites) to the new themes | 15:16 |
| newz2000 | She's really thinking deeply about navigation and I think this will be key to get right in the new theme | 15:17 |
| newz2000 | (as you remember, it was a major shortcoming of the existing theme) | 15:17 |
| MTecknology | ok; When you guys roll out the new theme I'll have to rip it apart anyway I'm sure. I make sure it works for RTL languages and varying widths like 80% or 900px. I'll keep thinking about ways to offer a distinction. | 15:18 |
| newz2000 | MTecknology: another good thing to think about is how the different kinds of information that are shown on community sites | 15:21 |
| newz2000 | and how that differs from ubuntu.com. | 15:22 |
| newz2000 | ubuntu.com, even though it's a free product, is really about selling Ubuntu | 15:22 |
| newz2000 | and community sites kind of have a different purpose | 15:22 |
| MTecknology | good point; I'll try to talk to some people about how they would like to see content moved around | 15:23 |
| newz2000 | that would be a very useful place to start | 15:26 |
| newz2000 | Also, your rtl stuff will be helpful too. We don't have a lot of in-house rtl users | 15:26 |
| cjohnston | uh oh.. newz2000 is on skype.. i might have to figure out what he looks like :-P | 16:25 |
| MTecknology | cjohnston: I know what doctormo and pleia2 look like - that's it | 16:39 |
| MTecknology | oh - I think I saw sabdfl once upon a time too.. | 16:40 |
| cjohnston | MTecknology: ill show you my picture | 16:41 |
| cjohnston | althought it may scare you | 16:41 |
| MTecknology | :P | 16:42 |
| MTecknology | ok | 16:42 |
| MTecknology | wow, that's a short hostmask | 17:01 |
| cjohnston | lol | 17:01 |
| cjohnston | MTecknology: you on facebook? | 17:02 |
| MTecknology | ya | 17:02 |
| MTecknology | @canonical/mpt vs. @kalliki/admin/pdpc.supporter.mtecknology | 17:02 |
| cjohnston | http://www.facebook.com/FFEMTcJ | 17:02 |
| MTecknology | where's the scary? | 17:03 |
| mpt | MTecknology, I used to be canonical/launchpad/mpt, then I left the Launchpad team, so I asked to be canonical/ubuntu/mpt, but apparently canonical/ubuntu doesn't exist, so... | 17:03 |
| MTecknology | oh | 17:03 |
| cjohnston | MTecknology: seeing my picture | 17:57 |
| MTecknology | cjohnston: 11:03 < MTecknology> where's the scary? <- I was referring to the pic | 18:56 |
| cjohnston | me | 18:57 |

| cjohnston | newz2000: you still around? | 20:28 |
| newz2000 | Si! | 20:28 |
| cjohnston | You don't by chance have, or can get the svgs for the new logos can you? | 20:29 |
| cjohnston | Need it for a logo we are going to make | 20:29 |
| thorwil | cjohnston: rather unlikely, as the whole artwork community is waiting for those | 21:12 |
