[09:43] <ivanka> vish: morning
[09:44] <ivanka> vish: I just posted that blog - have a read and let me know if you want me to tweak it in any way
[10:11]  * vish reads..
[10:21] <thorwil> good morning!
[10:40] <vish> ivanka: looks good.. thanks..
[11:52] <coz_> hey guys..are there any previews  of the new ubuntu icons ?
[11:55] <thorwil> coz_: last i heard it was all still in planning stages (including a call for input)
[11:56] <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
[11:59] <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
[12:00] <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
[12:02] <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
[12:04] <thorwil> coz_: thanks
[12:04] <coz_> no problem
[12:04] <thorwil> i know that one
[12:05] <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
[12:06] <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
[12:07] <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" ;)
[12:08] <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 :)
[12:09] <chaotic> hey - yes it will :) I am currently writing the brief - so the gears have started turning...
[12:09] <thorwil> :)
[12:11] <coz_> chaotic,   cool :)
[12:11] <coz_> chaotic,   any time line for just a preview of them??
[12:12] <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
[12:13] <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)
[12:14] <coz_> chaotic,  community ie  community art people or users in general ?
[12:15] <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
[12:16] <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
[12:17] <chaotic> coz_: right, sorry must get back to work now :) We'll be announcing through the design blog as soon as ready...
[12:18] <coz_> chaotic,  thanks
[12:18] <chaotic> coz_: np
[12:18] <coz_> chaotic,  do well make  a lot of money :)
