[08:53] <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?
[09:19] <popey> no idea thorwil :)
[09:22] <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
[09:23] <popey> ok
[10:56] <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.
[11:09] <popey> doctormo: build it and we can point people to it
[11:23] <doctormo> popey: What does it need to do again?
[12:08] <popey> doctormo: show videos?
[12:17] <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
[12:18] <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?
[12:50] <popey> I think there's a danger of overthinking it
[12:51] <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
[13:08] <doctormo> popey: There's a paracticalist for you, always pushing away the marketing in favour of the bland.
[13:09] <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
[13:10] <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.
[13:11]  * popey shurgs
[13:11] <popey> its not my baby
[13:12] <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"?
[13:13] <popey> I can only speculate what I think the channel is for
[13:13] <doctormo> popey: The youtube channel requiring a theme.
[13:14] <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.
[13:15] <doctormo> Maybe I should ask jcastro, *sigh* few seem to ever think about marketing seriously.
[13:16] <popey> :(
[13:16] <popey> all I did was ask for a theme to make the youtube developer channel look 'nicer'
[13:17] <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.
