| krabador | do you think maverick may change something in artwork, from today's build? | 00:14 |
|---|---|---|
| doctormo | krabador: It's unlikely | 00:48 |
| thorwil | vish: heh, look who commented here: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2010/09/19/ubuntu-artwork-crisis/#comment-3408 | 17:44 |
| thorwil | makes me recall my april fool's mail | 17:46 |
| vish | thorwil: ha nice! | 17:46 |
| vish | thorwil: what mail? | 17:46 |
| thorwil | vish: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2009-April/009615.html | 17:47 |
| vish | ah! | 17:51 |
| vish | thorwil: from what i read, mairin *really* hates mark | 17:52 |
| thorwil | oh. | 17:52 |
| vish | thorwil: i think more so after the unity vs shell thingy.. | 17:54 |
| thorwil | vish: as much as one might disagree on a design, strategic or technical standpoint, such things shouldn't be taken personally | 17:57 |
| vish | yep | 17:57 |
| thorwil | of course hearsay is no basis to know if she actually does ... | 17:57 |
| vish | thorwil: well , she went out-n-out blasting marks comments | 17:58 |
| vish | on some blog.. | 17:58 |
| vish | it was more nasty and kinda odd seeing those comments from mairin | 17:58 |
| vish | thorwil: i'm wonder if that comment was really an invite thinking you dint know about Fedora process or a stab.. | 17:58 |
| thorwil | vish: i see it as a reminder. and a stab :) | 17:59 |
| thorwil | dinner time, bbl | 17:59 |
| vish | ;) | 17:59 |
| thorwil | hmm i guess http://pickpic.parcodiyellowstone.it/ does not not use a vcs, design-hub is intended to use git | 18:58 |
| thorwil | our natural choice would be bzr, but relying on gitorious shouldn't hurt | 18:59 |
| thorwil | vish: do you think the xubuntu and edubuntu people have a good enough idea of what a briefing should look like? | 19:18 |
| vish | thorwil: well , thats a secondary issue .. but we should encourage them to think about a pov too :) | 19:19 |
| vish | … | 19:19 |
| vish | thorwil: IMO, it would be nice if they are involved in the process as well ;) | 19:20 |
| thorwil | vish: nice? a must, almost | 19:20 |
| thorwil | vish: one mail from a representative of each project, with their thoughts on the matter so far would be a good start | 19:21 |
| vish | thorwil: yep.. but saleel's mail started off without any starting point, so twas just a reminder | 19:22 |
| vish | thorwil: charlie is for xubuntu | 19:22 |
| vish | he already replied.. | 19:22 |

| lightgraphite | hi i'm new in irc chat, i'm daniel planas(if anyone knows me) www.lighgraphite.com | 20:57 |
| lightgraphite | i'm doing somthink like that: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Ayatana/Windicators/DanielsWindicators | 20:58 |
| lightgraphite | A few days ago I see much movement in the mailing lists, is going with the theme: What would you like to work on? | 21:00 |
| lightgraphite | can someone tell me? | 21:00 |
| thorwil | lightgraphite: welcome. how could we not know who daniel planas is? ;) | 21:04 |
| thorwil | lightgraphite: tell you what exactly? | 21:04 |
| lightgraphite | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2010-September/012262.html | 21:06 |
| lightgraphite | this is the thread | 21:06 |
| lightgraphite | I have not watched mailing lists lately and I'm not very good at English | 21:06 |
| lightgraphite | but I have the feeling that something important is being discussed | 21:07 |
| lightgraphite | artwork community seems to want to take more strength and go beyond the wiki is not it? | 21:08 |
| thorwil | lightgraphite: the idea was to see how many people are on the list that are actually interested in getting some work done | 21:08 |
| thorwil | lightgraphite: yes | 21:08 |
| lightgraphite | however, it seems as if the contributions of the community artists were never included in the distribution. | 21:09 |
| lightgraphite | which could be done? | 21:09 |
| thorwil | lightgraphite: well, there's the community-themes package | 21:10 |
| thorwil | lightgraphite: and we could do a wallpaper package, perhaps | 21:11 |
| lightgraphite | I always thought it was keeping crux and industrial themes for example, no one uses.! But modern themes as elementary or equinox everyone downloaded, so why not keep a number of good art themes? not much difficulty | 21:12 |
| thorwil | lightgraphite: for xubuntu and edubuntu, we could even do default artwork | 21:12 |
| lightgraphite | the artwork-comunity could be keep | 21:13 |
| thorwil | lightgraphite: sure, collecting and packaging a few selected themes shouldn't be too hard. it's just somebody has to actually do it | 21:14 |
| lightgraphite | could open a new topic in the mailing lists and make a collection of 3 or 4 themes that were included on ubuntu with the official themes and replace the old ones. | 21:17 |
| lightgraphite | the community could give his vote and so everybody's happy. | 21:17 |
| thorwil | vish: what do you think of that? ^ | 21:18 |
| thorwil | i have to run, good night! | 21:18 |
| * vish reads.. | 21:19 | |
| vish | hi dani! | 21:19 |
| lightgraphite | hi | 21:19 |
| lightgraphite | ;) | 21:19 |
| lightgraphite | Vish you have read my conversation with thorwil, you do you think? | 21:19 |
| vish | just reading it now.. | 21:20 |
| lightgraphite | good night thorwil | 21:21 |
| vish | lightgraphite: yes, thats the plan.. we want people to be more active on the mailing list , more chat/discussion about art.. the community has been too silent for too long | 21:22 |
| vish | lightgraphite: did you see my latest reply to the list? | 21:22 |
| vish | about equinox and newer themes? | 21:22 |
| lightgraphite | no, you can post me a link? | 21:23 |
| vish | lightgraphite: are you subscribed to the list? | 21:23 |
| vish | this is the mail i'm referring to : https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2010-September/012330.html | 21:23 |
| vish | equinox uses its own engine , if we are to package such themes then we need to get the engines into Ubuntu as well | 21:25 |
| vish | otherwise they wont work | 21:25 |
| lightgraphite | ok | 21:25 |
| lightgraphite | add new engines also means less space is to need consider | 21:26 |
| lightgraphite | it's true | 21:26 |
| vish | lightgraphite: i would suggest you subscribe to the mailing list too, and reply that you want to take part in artwork.. :) | 21:26 |
| lightgraphite | but even if not add new engines have many themes to be included right before the old gnome themes | 21:26 |
| lightgraphite | ok? i'm subsribe now | 21:27 |
| vish | we need people to say that they are interested in doing work … it would be nice to know there are active people on the list ;) | 21:27 |
| dylan-m | Okay, I need ideas: what's a good fake name for the user in screenshots for the installer slideshow? :) (I'm terrible at both remembering and inventing names) | 21:28 |
| vish | lightgraphite: dont worry about your english though.. I do understand most of what you are saying, your english is good :) | 21:29 |
| lightgraphite | thanks xD i'm studying now | 21:29 |
| vish | well, well , look who is here! if it aint dylan-m himself ;) | 21:29 |
| dylan-m | hello! | 21:30 |
| vish | dylan-m: what installer screenshot? | 21:30 |
| lightgraphite | i'think de user name could be: user | 21:31 |
| lightgraphite | Simple and recognizable | 21:31 |
| dylan-m | all of them! The 8 or so screenshots we have in Maverick's installer slideshow. I'm hoping to avoid that all-too-common situation where we have a generic username and pictures where nothing is happening | 21:31 |
| vish | dylan-m: oh you mean the top right username? | 21:32 |
| dylan-m | Yep, that one. | 21:32 |
| dylan-m | The current stuff (swiped from the web site) does the latter part quite well, but the username (which we see in a few places) is “ubuntu”, which strikes me as odd. | 21:32 |
| vish | yea | 21:33 |
| vish | dylan-m: one way we could do is look for inspiring names.. related to computing.. ex: "ada" | 21:34 |
| vish | thats too short though ;p | 21:34 |
| lightgraphite | john? lol, i think the better solution could be: user name | 21:35 |
| dylan-m | I do like that line of thought. Nice idea :) | 21:35 |
| lightgraphite | because everyone know what is written there | 21:35 |
| vish | lightgraphite: yea, but that becomes impersonal.. having/using a real name makes the screenshots feel like it was taken from a real user | 21:36 |
| lightgraphite | mmm | 21:36 |
| lightgraphite | then we must use a name widely used international | 21:36 |
| lightgraphite | for example, michael? i dont now which are the most common names | 21:37 |
| vish | dylan-m: googling lead to : http://shibuvarkala.blogspot.com/2009/08/famous-personalities-of-computer.html | 21:38 |
| vish | dylan-m: "Claude" ? | 21:38 |
| vish | maybe we could look for more open-sourcy... | 21:39 |
| lightgraphite | richard stallman | 21:40 |
| vish | dylan-m: or " doctormo " ;) | 21:40 |
| doctormo | ? | 21:41 |
| vish | doctormo: just naming a famous person in ope source ;p | 21:41 |
| vish | open* | 21:41 |
| vish | doctormo: <dylan-m> Okay, I need ideas: what's a good fake name for the user in screenshots for the installer slideshow? :) (I'm terrible at both remembering and inventing names) | 21:42 |
| vish | doctormo: i suggested : one way we could do is look for inspiring names.. related to computing.. ex: "ada" … any suggestions? | 21:42 |
| doctormo | vish: Alan Turing, certainly. He needs more bumb. | 21:43 |
| vish | dylan-m: ^ | 21:43 |
| lightgraphite | We could have lots of fun with this, perhaps SteveJ, for people who are fixed, it will be fun. | 21:44 |
| dylan-m | That would work. Alan is longer than three letters :) | 21:44 |
| * dylan-m wonders if this industry could survive another person named Steve | 21:45 | |
| vish | lol! | 21:45 |
| dylan-m | Sorry, I timed out there. The wifi in this building has gone completely downhill :( | 21:52 |
| dylan-m | Err, then the kernel died :/ | 22:00 |
| dylan-m | I think I'll go with Alan. It's a solid name and it looks pretty with the new font. | 22:02 |
| dylan-m | Thanks for the suggestions! | 22:02 |
| * darkmatter throws a hefty blunt object at vish | 22:40 | |
