[12:29] good day [13:52] Hello, I'm looking to volunteer my time as a graphic and UI designer. Am I in the right place? :S [14:21] angusfretwell, well not sure actually... you may want to speak with thorwil or kwwii [14:22] OK thanks :) [15:00] angusfretwell: hi! while wanting to volunteer is great and generous, as things are, you pretty much have to take an active approach [15:01] OK, so just jump in and do some stuff, you mean? [15:01] 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] Ah, OK [15:02] Is there a better place? [15:02] angusfretwell: almost. even better if there's an actual need you can fill [15:02] angusfretwell: depends on what you want to do [15:02] there are quite a number of options for what approach you could try [15:03] what i'm mainly good at is user interface design [15:03] whether it be for the web or otherwise [15:04] 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 [15:05] thorwil: OK, I'll take a look ath that [15:06] angusfretwell: you could perhaps look for an application you care for, where you see room for improvement [15:06] angusfretwell: and then get into contact with the developers to get an idea if they would agree and for what would be feasible [15:07] to then do mockups, eventually [15:07] thorwil: OK, I'll try that, too. [15:11] angusfretwell: do you have an online portfolio? [15:11] thorwil: No, not at the moment [15:15] 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] OK thanks for all your help :) [15:15] Later. [20:35] hey guys [20:37] Hi :) [20:40] 'ello coz_ [20:40] darkmatter, hey guy :) [20:40] ello [20:41] doctormo, hey guy [20:41] hi doctormo [20:42] coz_: I'm not a guy, I'm a bloke. [20:42] Unless you think I should be shoved onto a bonfire and burned. [20:43] doctormo, whoa you must be a foeigner :) [20:43] foreigner [20:43] damn spelling [20:43] damn fingers [20:43] coz_: I must. British. [20:43] :) [20:43] doctormo, and what does "guy" mean in the british isles linguistics? [20:44] And as we all know, the internet was invented by Al Gore and therefor is American soil ;-) [20:44] lol [20:44] guy is a name, i.e. Guy Falks, remember, remember, the 5th of Novemeber... [20:45] 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] 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] coz_: You mean it means 'bloke' [20:46] 'dude' is also American slang and 'man' is a Saxon word for 'human being' [20:47] You probably mean wereman as aposed to wifman. [20:47] doctormo, yeah essentially it does mean bloke :) [20:48] 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. [20:50] * darkmatter gets a wif of doctormo and defends himself with febreeze :P [20:50] darkmatter: How are you? [20:51] aha! http://old.theshtick.org/language/woman.html [20:51] dunno. alive I suppose *checks for pulse* yup. alive ;) [20:58] i have gotten many hits on my flickr thingy ,, I have no idea why I didnt do this sooner [20:58] although I would prefer money to hits but hey :) [21:00] :) [21:55] now i need to find a flickr like place for music [22:14] coz_: there are a ton of them, and some are even not shit. [22:14] Unlike flickr, which is evil incarnate. [22:49] doctormo, oh?? I didnt realize [22:49] doctormo, why is flicker evil and ubuntu uses it for sumission s o0 [22:50] coz_: Because we have nothing better, even though me and thorwil have issues with it (i.e. I think it's evil) [22:50] etc [22:50] ah ok [22:50] doctormo, so there are sites for music also? [22:50] oh yes [22:50] open source ones too [22:50] oh!! [22:50] look up cchost, it was original meant for music sites anyway [22:51] looking how [22:51] now
