| coz_ | good day | 12:29 |
|---|---|---|
| angusfretwell | Hello, I'm looking to volunteer my time as a graphic and UI designer. Am I in the right place? :S | 13:52 |
| coz_ | angusfretwell, well not sure actually... you may want to speak with thorwil or kwwii | 14:21 |
| angusfretwell | OK thanks :) | 14:22 |
| thorwil | angusfretwell: hi! while wanting to volunteer is great and generous, as things are, you pretty much have to take an active approach | 15:00 |
| angusfretwell | OK, so just jump in and do some stuff, you mean? | 15:01 |
| thorwil | angusfretwell: if wallpapers don't happen to be of central interest for you, ubuntu-artwork is not quite the right place (i wish it was) | 15:01 |
| angusfretwell | Ah, OK | 15:01 |
| angusfretwell | Is there a better place? | 15:02 |
| thorwil | angusfretwell: almost. even better if there's an actual need you can fill | 15:02 |
| thorwil | angusfretwell: depends on what you want to do | 15:02 |
| thorwil | there are quite a number of options for what approach you could try | 15:02 |
| angusfretwell | what i'm mainly good at is user interface design | 15:03 |
| angusfretwell | whether it be for the web or otherwise | 15:03 |
| thorwil | angusfretwell: UX for ubuntu/unity is hard to get in, because a lot is happening in teams of full time employees. meanwhile, the ayatana list as point of entry for the community is just very noisy | 15:04 |
| angusfretwell | thorwil: OK, I'll take a look ath that | 15:05 |
| thorwil | angusfretwell: you could perhaps look for an application you care for, where you see room for improvement | 15:06 |
| thorwil | angusfretwell: and then get into contact with the developers to get an idea if they would agree and for what would be feasible | 15:06 |
| thorwil | to then do mockups, eventually | 15:07 |
| angusfretwell | thorwil: OK, I'll try that, too. | 15:07 |
| thorwil | angusfretwell: do you have an online portfolio? | 15:11 |
| angusfretwell | thorwil: No, not at the moment | 15:11 |
| thorwil | angusfretwell: the people in #gnome-design on irc.gnome.org _might_ have one or the other idea on what else you could work on. though i think asking during weekdays might lead to better results | 15:15 |
| angusfretwell | OK thanks for all your help :) | 15:15 |
| angusfretwell | Later. | 15:15 |
| coz_ | hey guys | 20:35 |
| BlueBomber7 | Hi :) | 20:37 |
| darkmatter | 'ello coz_ | 20:40 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, hey guy :) | 20:40 |
| doctormo | ello | 20:40 |
| coz_ | doctormo, hey guy | 20:41 |
| darkmatter | hi doctormo | 20:41 |
| doctormo | coz_: I'm not a guy, I'm a bloke. | 20:42 |
| doctormo | Unless you think I should be shoved onto a bonfire and burned. | 20:42 |
| coz_ | doctormo, whoa you must be a foeigner :) | 20:43 |
| coz_ | foreigner | 20:43 |
| coz_ | damn spelling | 20:43 |
| coz_ | damn fingers | 20:43 |
| doctormo | coz_: I must. British. | 20:43 |
| coz_ | :) | 20:43 |
| coz_ | doctormo, and what does "guy" mean in the british isles linguistics? | 20:43 |
| doctormo | And as we all know, the internet was invented by Al Gore and therefor is American soil ;-) | 20:44 |
| coz_ | lol | 20:44 |
| doctormo | guy is a name, i.e. Guy Falks, remember, remember, the 5th of Novemeber... | 20:44 |
| doctormo | We go around as kids with a straw man asking for 'penny for the guy' before putting him on the bonfire on the 5th. | 20:45 |
| coz_ | doctormo, mm yes it is also a name here in the US but for us it also means " man" "dude" person of the male gender | 20:45 |
| doctormo | coz_: You mean it means 'bloke' | 20:45 |
| doctormo | 'dude' is also American slang and 'man' is a Saxon word for 'human being' | 20:46 |
| doctormo | You probably mean wereman as aposed to wifman. | 20:47 |
| coz_ | doctormo, yeah essentially it does mean bloke :) | 20:47 |
| doctormo | coz_: You know, talking of wif, I'd love to see a wifwolf movie. I think it would make for an excellent twist to the standard plot. | 20:48 |
| * darkmatter gets a wif of doctormo and defends himself with febreeze :P | 20:50 | |
| doctormo | darkmatter: How are you? | 20:50 |
| thorwil | aha! http://old.theshtick.org/language/woman.html | 20:51 |
| darkmatter | dunno. alive I suppose *checks for pulse* yup. alive ;) | 20:51 |
| coz_ | i have gotten many hits on my flickr thingy ,, I have no idea why I didnt do this sooner | 20:58 |
| coz_ | although I would prefer money to hits but hey :) | 20:58 |
| darkmatter | :) | 21:00 |
| coz_ | now i need to find a flickr like place for music | 21:55 |
| doctormo | coz_: there are a ton of them, and some are even not shit. | 22:14 |
| doctormo | Unlike flickr, which is evil incarnate. | 22:14 |
| coz_ | doctormo, oh?? I didnt realize | 22:49 |
| coz_ | doctormo, why is flicker evil and ubuntu uses it for sumission s o0 | 22:49 |
| doctormo | coz_: Because we have nothing better, even though me and thorwil have issues with it (i.e. I think it's evil) | 22:50 |
| doctormo | etc | 22:50 |
| coz_ | ah ok | 22:50 |
| coz_ | doctormo, so there are sites for music also? | 22:50 |
| doctormo | oh yes | 22:50 |
| doctormo | open source ones too | 22:50 |
