| thorwil | popey: i guess a youtube skin consists of: square logo (in 2 sizes), one bg color or image, 2 box colors, text and link colors? | 08:53 |
|---|---|---|
| popey | no idea thorwil :) | 09:19 |
| thorwil | popey: should be very straightforward to apply a ubuntu.com alike style, but i'm busy with a mockup and would like to see if someone else picks this up | 09:22 |
| popey | ok | 09:23 |
| doctormo | popey: It's a shame youtube doesn't allow channels to redirect, we'd have a better website showing youtube videos and default them all to html5 for the look of the thing. Although me is biased since I fight the youtube UI all the time for control over what I want to watch. | 10:56 |
| popey | doctormo: build it and we can point people to it | 11:09 |
| doctormo | popey: What does it need to do again? | 11:23 |
| popey | doctormo: show videos? | 12:08 |
| doctormo | popey: That's a vague set of requirements for a whole website. I could knock up a website which shows two fixed videos and fulfil it technically. | 12:17 |
| doctormo | What I mean to ask | 12:17 |
| doctormo | Is where do you want users uploading videos to, how automatic would you like listing of videos and what kind of community participation would be good? | 12:18 |
| popey | I think there's a danger of overthinking it | 12:50 |
| popey | most of the videos we put out there are to attract people, and most of those (mass generalisation) inhabit youtube | 12:51 |
| popey | they also generally have flash etc, so dont care for html5 | 12:51 |
| doctormo | popey: There's a paracticalist for you, always pushing away the marketing in favour of the bland. | 13:08 |
| doctormo | We could link in to what ever community, build a community in that area. | 13:09 |
| doctormo | http://xkcd.com/802/ <- use this as a map if you like | 13:09 |
| doctormo | But there is a difference which I'm trying to assess between servicing the X community that are interested in Ubuntu and serving the Ubuntu community with service X. | 13:10 |
| doctormo | Which is what I think I'm trying to ask you. | 13:10 |
| * popey shurgs | 13:11 | |
| popey | its not my baby | 13:11 |
| doctormo | So you don't know what it's for? | 13:12 |
| popey | "it" being the youtube developer channel? | 13:12 |
| popey | or "it" being "a system of getting video content to people"? | 13:12 |
| popey | I can only speculate what I think the channel is for | 13:13 |
| doctormo | popey: The youtube channel requiring a theme. | 13:13 |
| popey | the request came from jorge | 13:14 |
| doctormo | And "a system of getting video" to which people? | 13:14 |
| doctormo | Youtube people or Planet Ubuntu people. | 13:14 |
| doctormo | Maybe I should ask jcastro, *sigh* few seem to ever think about marketing seriously. | 13:15 |
| popey | :( | 13:16 |
| popey | all I did was ask for a theme to make the youtube developer channel look 'nicer' | 13:16 |
| doctormo | Sorry, just a bedbug that all this theming is burning away people's time without concise direction so logos and styles don't match their target audience. It's not your fault. | 13:17 |
