|---|---|---|
| vish | considerably better than what breathe has right now ;p | 10:17 |
| thorwil | vish: you think so? both are terrible in my eyes now | 10:18 |
| vish | thorwil: well , i said better.. dint say it was good ;p | 10:18 |
| thorwil | folder icons are dumb anyway, would much prefer to have something along the lines of http://thorwil.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/infolders_01.png | 10:19 |
| vish | thorwil: hmm , not /like/ those , but i get the point.. make *folders* an abstract concept | 10:20 |
| vish | holy! there are 1050+ members subscribed to the mailing list! | 10:21 |
| darkmatter | just remove folders entirely instead of trying to abstract broken junk | 10:22 |
| vish | thorwil: looks like the list is quite rotten ;p | 10:22 |
| vish | we have a lot of flies \o/ | 10:23 |
| thorwil | darkmatter: doesn't matter much for that concept if it represents folders are any kind of grouping | 10:23 |
| vish | hehe! what is lapo doing there ! | 10:24 |
| thorwil | vish: what did you say how many subscribers the list has? | 15:36 |
| vish | thorwil: 1050+ | 15:43 |
| thorwil | vish: i think we will reach the point where we must avoid running around in circles, soon now | 16:07 |
| thorwil | vish: so i just send a "what would you like to work on" mail. trying saleel's idea is better than wondering if it would work ... :) | 16:08 |
| vish | thorwil: well.. lets see.. how it goes.. | 16:10 |
| vish | hmm , are we thrusting too much at the same time! | 17:19 |
| vish | doctormo: why are you reluctant to make the dA group part of the artwork team? | 17:21 |
| vish | doctormo: you did push for having free culture showcase being merged into the dA group right? | 17:21 |
| doctormo | Of course | 17:22 |
| doctormo | But we haven't talked much about the dA group and how its run. Only about using deviantArt as a technical base. | 17:22 |
| vish | doctormo: ah the technicalities k.. | 17:22 |
| doctormo | I have no problem with the dA group being linked in as part of the greater art team, but dA is a poor collaboration platform IMO. | 17:23 |
| vish | doctormo: yeah , but how do we get the cchost site to be more permanant? | 17:23 |
| vish | i can get coders to work on setting up a site though.. we need the server :) | 17:24 |
| doctormo | vish: It has a server, unless pleia2 objects but I don't think she will. | 17:32 |
| doctormo | vish: I'm actually sorting out the codebase now so people can work on fixes for the cchost site. | 17:32 |
| thorwil | if i only knew how to discourage those useless single sentence messages (without that tuning into a meta-discussion, again) | 17:41 |
| thorwil | well, at least there's enthusiasm :) | 17:41 |
| vish | hehe! | 17:41 |
| vish | one thing I'm not very crazy about it the art-*owl* name.. | 17:42 |
| vish | it doesnt sound very official ;) | 17:42 |
| thorwil | currently it isn't | 17:42 |
| thorwil | but something non-obvious can add some charm, in any case | 17:43 |
| doctormo | vish: The owl site is the place for learning materials, the dns can be changed. | 17:45 |
| doctormo | vish: for the art site | 17:45 |
| doctormo | vish: I'd like to see more activity and maybe some fixes though, much more important than dns name. | 17:46 |
| vish | yep, very true. | 17:46 |
| vish | but i'm just concerned a bit now , since we are just jumping with _no_ organization in place :s | 17:46 |
| vish | but lets see at the end of the week how things are.. we are only at day 2 ;) | 17:48 |
| thorwil | vish: sure, but you can't have it all at once. i mean, both activity and organization? outrageous! | 17:48 |
| thorwil | i guess a hold-your-horses message might do more harm than good | 17:49 |
| vish | yea.. i dint mean hold your horses.. | 17:49 |
| vish | but if there is no organization , we might just fizz out.. | 17:49 |
| vish | so, i think someone needs to keep that in mind as well | 17:50 |
| thorwil | vish: i'm not at all willing to play a team leader solo ... | 17:52 |
| vish | thorwil: well , who crowned you king of the jungle ? ;p | 17:53 |
| vish | thorwil: its nice to see that people are trying to be pro-active atleast :) | 17:53 |
| thorwil | vish: nobody did. but who keeps referencing me and who used to ask me for feedback many times? ;) | 17:54 |
| thorwil | vish: and "someone" is a warning sign, if it appears in talk regarding leadership and responsibility ;) | 17:54 |
| vish | thorwil: must be an idiot! why would someone ask *you* for feedback! ;) | 17:54 |
| thorwil | lol, yeah | 17:54 |
| * thorwil -> dinner | 17:57 | |
| === snobby is now known as snubby | ||
| doctormo | vish: It's not no organisation, it's emergent and it's simple, but it's not missing. | 18:22 |
| vish | yea.. i think I'm going to go ahead and add Xubuntu and Edubuntu to the main wiki | 18:22 |
| doctormo | thorwil: heh, we could have an art-council quango | 18:23 |
| vish | spoke to highvoltage too , he wants help with edubuntu as well | 18:23 |
| thorwil | back | 18:38 |
| vish | thorwil: lol! a few members unsubscribed since yesterday ;p | 18:53 |
| thorwil | *shrug* | 18:54 |
| vish | when i saw it first it was 1058 , now its 1054 | 18:56 |
| thorwil | 3 down from what i saw | 19:07 |
| vish | thorwil: maybe setting up a short wiki of why using wiki is bad? :p | 19:19 |
| thorwil | heh | 19:20 |
| vish | rather than having to explain to everyone every time.. would be much easier? | 19:20 |
| thorwil | vish: we have to forgive j_baer, for he must have edited the wiki so much, he doesn't realize how hard it is, anymore ;) | 19:22 |
| vish | thorwil: lol! i must have mentioned that too! "a huge problem is trivial edits" ;p | 19:22 |
| thorwil | vish: i just send a mail also linking to that design-hub post, before i got yours ... | 19:22 |
| vish | haha! thorwil must be silly minds think alike too! ;p | 19:23 |
| thorwil | heh | 19:23 |
| thorwil | vish: now how to best answer Kofi? | 19:24 |
| vish | thorwil: i suggest we wait a bit and see all the fishes that bite :) | 19:24 |
| vish | its not that if we have to answer within a couple of days and everything gets done.. | 19:25 |
| vish | right now , i'm mainly counting how many people even raise their hands :) | 19:26 |
| thorwil | hmm, right | 19:30 |
| thorwil | maybe i should check that out, sometime: http://github.com/rclements/Fedora-Design-Collab | 19:33 |
| vish | Kofi done has quite some interesting work | 19:34 |
| thorwil | mailed highvoltage, encouraging him to advertise for edubuntu a bit, maybe come up with a briefing for a wallpaper | 19:45 |
| rrrmanion | hello | 19:47 |
| vish | rrrmanion: hi | 19:50 |
| rrrmanion | i want to know how i can apply to contribute towards ubuntu? i want to be involved in the reation of some wallpapers. | 19:51 |
| vish | rrrmanion: sure, any particular derivate in mind? xubuntu or edubuntu? | 19:52 |
| rrrmanion | no, i am just happy to help | 19:53 |
| vish | rrrmanion: awesome! hang tight , we are just beginning to see some voices | 19:54 |
| vish | rrrmanion: in a few days lets get the main teams involved too , and have a theme/direction to work on for the wallppaer | 19:55 |
| vish | rrrmanion: did you see the meerkat request on the mailing list? | 19:57 |
| rrrmanion | no, only just subscribed, | 19:58 |
| vish | rrrmanion: ah , no probs. this is the mail I was referring to: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2010-September/012294.html | 19:59 |
| rrrmanion | i mainly wish to base my contributions on photos if that's ok? | 20:01 |
| vish | rrrmanion: well , are the photos from your collection? | 20:02 |
| thorwil | rrrmanion: sure (as long as it are your photos, or ones with permissive licenses) | 20:02 |
| thorwil | rrrmanion: do you know about http://www.flickr.com/groups/ubuntu-artwork/ ? | 20:03 |
| thorwil | rrrmanion: for each release cycle, a few images from that pool are selected, like it happened here: http://design.canonical.com/2010/08/this-week-in-design-27-august-2010/ | 20:05 |
| rrrmanion | no, not aware of that, will take a look in a moment, will take a look in a moment, all the photos i'd like to use are my own | 20:05 |
| thorwil | though this flickr thing is pretty much independent of what we are trying to organize on the list, currently | 20:06 |
| rrrmanion | ok, that sounds good though, i thought i might do a series of photos from the UK, for uk users, obviously all landscapes, what do you think | 20:10 |
| vish | rrrmanion: of specific famous buildings? or something more abstract? | 20:12 |
| vish | or places | 20:12 |
| rrrmanion | places, for example i already have some of the famous white cliffs of dover, but buidings could be done too | 20:13 |
| thorwil | rrrmanion: do/try whatever seems fun and worthwhile. though if you specifically have users from the uk in mind, you should perhaps contact LoCos ... i mean, don't rely on people finding your work in that huge pool ... unless it will be outstanding ;) | 20:14 |
| rrrmanion | "LoCos"? | 20:16 |
| vish | rrrmanion: the issue with choosing a popular place would mean very specific to that locale.. so something like that would/might be more appropriate for the local UK team posters | 20:16 |
| thorwil | rrrmanion: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams | 20:16 |
| rrrmanion | thanks | 20:20 |
| thorwil | np | 20:21 |
| rrrmanion | just waiting for a reply now, seems a bit slower for responses than this channel. | 20:25 |
| thorwil | rrrmanion: response time can easily vary between seconds and hours in one and the same channel | 20:27 |
| thorwil | good night! | 21:09 |
| rrrmanion | night people | 23:00 |
