| * vish reads.. | 10:11 | |
| thorwil | good morning! | 10:21 |
| vish | ivanka: looks good.. thanks.. | 10:40 |
| coz_ | hey guys..are there any previews of the new ubuntu icons ? | 11:52 |
| thorwil | coz_: last i heard it was all still in planning stages (including a call for input) | 11:55 |
| coz_ | thorwil, ah ok,,, I had seen one of the ubuntu advertisement videos with some interesting icons and was wondering if they were the direction it was headed | 11:56 |
| thorwil | coz_: which video? | 11:59 |
| coz_ | thorwil, hold on ket me get link | 11:59 |
| coz_ | thorwil, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYTJPaM82nQ | 11:59 |
| thorwil | oh how i hate it. "This video contains content from MemphisIndustries. It is not available in your country." | 12:00 |
| coz_ | no way | 12:00 |
| coz_ | thorwil, hold on I can download it and putit on dropbox | 12:00 |
| thorwil | #&! the music industry and my country, too | 12:00 |
| thorwil | most of the time it's Sony. which only would make me feel bad to ever buy anything from them. idiots | 12:02 |
| coz_ | thorwil, yikes I cant believe these things would be ...restricted... like that | 12:02 |
| coz_ | thorwil, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/screencasts/Ubuntu%2010.10%20UDS%2025.10.10%20New%20Ad.mp4.flv | 12:02 |
| thorwil | coz_: thanks | 12:04 |
| coz_ | no problem | 12:04 |
| thorwil | i know that one | 12:04 |
| coz_ | thorwil, yeah I have seen it but until I heard about the new ubuntu icons I had wondered if they were going to be similar to those | 12:05 |
| thorwil | really don't know why youtube doesn't just mute the audio in such cases, if dumb copyright holders must have their way | 12:05 |
| coz_ | :) | 12:05 |
| thorwil | coz_: you already see that style in action on ubuntu.com | 12:05 |
| coz_ | thorwil, ah yes | 12:06 |
| coz_ | thorwil, well I was kind of hoping for a preview of the new icons :) | 12:06 |
| thorwil | i highly doubt it will be applied to a desktop icon theme | 12:06 |
| coz_ | mm hearing shuttleworth's uds speech... it seemed they were going to have specific to ubuntu icons for compiz/unity but i may have heard him wrong | 12:07 |
| coz_ | not 11.04 | 12:07 |
| coz_ | but the next LTS | 12:07 |
| thorwil | coz_: chaotic is the one to talk with regarding this. though i bet for now the answer will be along "have some patience" ;) | 12:07 |
| coz_ | thorwil, now doubt...an entire system icon theme is going to take quite a bit of time | 12:08 |
| coz_ | thorwil, the echo icons theme for fedora..new version has something like 20 icons and the fellow or team has been working on it for 2 years now | 12:08 |
| coz_ | I think they may have given up :) | 12:08 |
| chaotic | hey - yes it will :) I am currently writing the brief - so the gears have started turning... | 12:09 |
| thorwil | :) | 12:09 |
| coz_ | chaotic, cool :) | 12:11 |
| coz_ | chaotic, any time line for just a preview of them?? | 12:11 |
| chaotic | coz_: nope, once the brief is complete, we will be putting it out for submissions to both agencies and individuals to see what talent there is out there | 12:12 |
| coz_ | chaotic, oh very cool...so both canonical team and community people ...yes? | 12:13 |
| chaotic | coz_: we will art direct and I have lots of ideas and research but I'd like it to be driven externally (ideally by the community) | 12:13 |
| coz_ | chaotic, community ie community art people or users in general ? | 12:14 |
| chaotic | coz_: it will be open to all but I'd imagine will require someone with a good undersanding of the subject matter | 12:15 |
| coz_ | "community" often means one thing to me and another to everyone else :) | 12:15 |
| coz_ | cool | 12:15 |
| chaotic | coz_: we'll produce an initial cut down set that covers all bases and documentation/guidelines that 'hopefully' will allow anyone to produce an icon that feels part of the family | 12:15 |
| chaotic | coz_: I read the Android icon guidelines recently and was very impressed with the way the have handled/documented it | 12:16 |
| coz_ | chaotic, i would be very interested in seeing the guidlines once they are well grounded | 12:16 |
| chaotic | http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design.html | 12:16 |
| chaotic | coz_: right, sorry must get back to work now :) We'll be announcing through the design blog as soon as ready... | 12:17 |
| coz_ | chaotic, thanks | 12:18 |
| chaotic | coz_: np | 12:18 |
| coz_ | chaotic, do well make a lot of money :) | 12:18 |
