| mikebeecham | ok knome | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| mikebeecham | cheers | 00:00 |
| knome | contributing to ubuntu is possible, but as thorwil said, canonical is putting a lot of money in design, so they'll probably want to use what they pay for ;) | 00:00 |
| knome | of course, there are open positions now and then... | 00:00 |
| mikebeecham | sure, I guess if they're pouring money into it then they will want to get thier money's worth | 00:02 |

| kklimonda | hey, can circle of friends in logo be in any way modified? for example adding a national flag into it? | 14:14 |
| vish | kklimonda: if its not meant for 'Ubuntu' , but rather for a LoCo , yes.. | 14:19 |
| kklimonda | vish: hmm.. how to distinct one from the other? | 14:24 |
| kklimonda | vish: by LoCo you mean all sites that are related to our local community and by Ubuntu... sites not related to the community? ;) | 14:25 |
| kklimonda | vish: so for http://www.dell.com/ubuntu you can't modify logo in any way but in the LoCo case you can.. add some local flavour? :) | 14:26 |
| kklimonda | vish: do the rest of guidelines are still in effect? | 14:26 |
| vish | kklimonda: well , does the symbol refer to the Ubuntu OS , then guidelines apply , if not.. we can go crazy as we please ;) | 14:28 |
| vish | kklimonda: yeah , like the dell example they have to use the Ubuntu logo as prescribed :) | 14:29 |

| mikebeecham | was thinking about incorporating Ubuntu somehow into my artpiece: http://img683.imageshack.us/f/lostw.png/ | 17:20 |
| darkmatter | vish: thorwil: how does the tip of a paint brush (just the bristles/small part of the handle showing) blending through like, maybe 2 or 3 different colors of paint splatters sound for a new gimp app watermark? in color for the toolbox, greyscale (so its recolorable) in the image windows. instead of googley eyes that have shit to do with image editing/composition | 17:20 |
| vish | hrm! | 17:23 |
| * vish tries to comprehend that^ | 17:23 | |
| * darkmatter is working on a gimp theme (icons and gtkrc) along with some new defaults, mainly for personal use, but thought I'd drop it off in a few suggestion boxes for kicks | 17:25 | |
| darkmatter | gonna keep the utility windows separate but de-wharf them (they are huge by default after all). turn the toolbox into an actual toolbox (have only the most essential tools shown by default) blah blah | 17:27 |
| darkmatter | something more beginner friendly and polished feeling | 17:28 |
| vish | darkmatter: how about first changing the name? :) | 17:28 |
| darkmatter | I've seen users (mostly clients) almost shit a brick the first time they crack the beast open | 17:28 |
| darkmatter | vish: that too :P | 17:28 |
| darkmatter | fun name or elegant name? we could just rebrand it as Pixel Pusher :P | 17:30 |
| vish | hehe! | 17:30 |
| darkmatter | fork/branch it in a non retarded way with gimp proper and be nice and friendly and sharing with the gimp devs. you know. since it takes them 10+ years to implement interface bugs and the like :D | 17:31 |
| darkmatter | still compatible way* | 17:32 |
| darkmatter | vish: I actual kinda think Pixel Pusher _would_ be fitting (reasoning(s) are obvious enough). but anything is more fitting than The GIMP | 17:37 |
| vish | yeah , the Double P ! | 17:38 |
| thorwil | it think it should be renamed into something less plurivalent. like Rubbersuit or Limp :) | 17:45 |
| thorwil | darkmatter: you could as well dance to describe music. gotta see that | 17:46 |
| darkmatter | thorwil: bah. | 17:54 |
| darkmatter | how about a branch/fork name "Inosukliekdad" then? :P | 17:58 |
| troy_s | thorwil: How goes it thor? Greets to the rest of the droogs. | 17:59 |
| thorwil | troy_s: heh, excellent timing, as i'm gone for dinner now :) | 18:00 |
| troy_s | thorwil: It's YOUR timezone | 18:02 |
| troy_s | thorwil: NOT MINE | 18:03 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Got it pal? | 18:03 |
| darkmatter | vish: the actual root of my reasoning is thus. I have some design ideas for a graphics editor and would actually like to test them out (as many as I can at least, some will have to remain conceptual for the time being). the easiest way to do that in a reasonable fashion is to reconfigure an existing app, and the only one flexible enough in terms of ui setting we have is the gimp. that can be either a bane or a boon, depending on how y | 18:48 |
| darkmatter | I mean. I _could_ just do some .ui files, but you can't actually interact with those | 18:49 |
| thorwil | troy_s: actually no | 19:49 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Lol. | 19:51 |
| troy_s | thorwil: How are things? | 19:51 |
| thorwil | troy_s: fine. payed project running well, will have some time during the weekend to take on other stuff. and you? | 19:52 |
| thorwil | nice to have online translation: http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fubuntulife.wordpress.com%2F2010%2F08%2F02%2Fnuevo-logo-para-full-circle%2F&sl=es&tl=en | 19:58 |
| troy_s | thorwil: That's one of the reasons I use Chrome. It integrates into translate. | 20:37 |
| troy_s | thorwil: I wish cm would get solved. | 20:37 |
| thorwil | cm? | 20:38 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Color management | 20:38 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Sadly lacking in it currently (in Linux and suffers with various pipeline design mistakes on other platforms) | 20:38 |
| troy_s | thorwil: What face is that full circle? | 20:39 |
| troy_s | (5/6) | 20:39 |
| troy_s | your creation? | 20:40 |
| thorwil | troy_s: custom, yes. i had to see once again how geometric constructions tend to end up somewhat brutal :) | 20:41 |
| thorwil | the new Full Circle logo will be based on the middle one on http://thorwil.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/full_circle_magazine_set_03.png | 20:43 |
| thorwil | ready, but under wraps until then | 20:43 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Brutal is probably an execution thing. The first e in your samples for example, isn't necessarily brutal or otherwise. | 20:44 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Which leads me to the idea that it is probably the collection as a whole and less the individual parts. Might have gotten somewhere just focusing on the type... | 20:44 |
| troy_s | thorwil: The 'safe' choice isn't really an awful one anyways. | 20:45 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Although that tagline is more of a bookline. | 20:45 |
| thorwil | i shortened it later on, but don't know if the magazine will follow there | 20:46 |
| troy_s | thorwil: There is likely a better phrasing that turns it into a proper tag. Two lines is hardly a tagline. | 20:47 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Have you seen the new alternate wallpaper selections (contest driven rubbish aside - another topic worth looking at)? | 20:59 |
| thorwil | troy_s: yes. i also saw and still try to forget the new default (hoping it's temporary) | 21:00 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Oh it's just a 'test' I'm sure ;) | 21:02 |
| troy_s | thorwil: I'm very impressed with the selection. Whoever did it deserves kudos. | 21:02 |
| thorwil | troy_s: yes, at least 2 steps up from last time | 21:03 |
| troy_s | thorwil: It is the most cohesive set I have seen yet in Ubuntu proper. Solid photography and a very well planned mixture of tone / subject. | 21:03 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Very impressed. | 21:03 |
| thorwil | though this one would drive me insane on my desktop: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_FJH0hYZmVtc/THbTNrSvERI/AAAAAAAAJaY/4x3nHIE4fTk/s1600-h/Blue_box_number_2_by_orb9220%5B3%5D.jpg | 21:04 |
| thorwil | http://lh3.ggpht.com/_FJH0hYZmVtc/THbTdUGPaFI/AAAAAAAAJbk/5veZoNIyrl4/s1600-h/Primer_Amanecer_2010_by_letoloke%5B3%5D.jpg makes me wonder if the bend shouldn't be in the other direction or be eliminated to have a flat line | 21:05 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Maybe. I find the second rather... meh, but it has a pretty solid purpose in the set. | 21:07 |
| troy_s | thorwil: I tend to view those as a mise-en-scene - a contextual set. | 21:08 |
| troy_s | thorwil: And in that light, it has a pretty darn compelling reason to be there. It is a variant on subject _and_ fills a tonal need (to break up the monotony) | 21:08 |
| troy_s | thorwil: I suppose there is a question 'how to improve the set' which is a cool question to ask. | 21:08 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Because it isn't an easy answer. Do you try to hint at an overarching thematic (and yeah, the vast bulk of the contribution would be probably hammer-over-head heavy)? Or is there something more clever to play with there? | 21:09 |
| thorwil | well, one could add race stripes and a spoiler to http://lh6.ggpht.com/_FJH0hYZmVtc/THbTMCUzGGI/AAAAAAAAJaQ/ROgmSmbAzsQ/s1600-h/Aeg_by_Tauno_Erik%5B2%5D.jpg | 21:09 |
| troy_s | thorwil: It would be a lovely thing to actually _discuss_ with a group of clever minds really. | 21:09 |
| troy_s | LOL | 21:09 |
| troy_s | thorwil: He's cute enough without racing stripes. | 21:09 |
| troy_s | thorwil: It's a great set. I applaud whoever issued the selections. | 21:10 |
| troy_s | thorwil: No complaints there. The default wallpaper on the other hand... | 21:10 |
| thorwil | i have to make such a comment right before you mention "to actually discuss" and "group of clever minds"! | 21:10 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Nothing short of a monumental misstep and ridiculous design context. I can't exactly fault someone for sad execution as there isn't anything being executed. Well... maybe the person that uttered the mandate to deliver that piece of work. | 21:11 |
| troy_s | lol | 21:11 |
| thorwil | good night! :) | 21:14 |
