[12:29] <coz_> good day
[13:52] <angusfretwell> Hello, I'm looking to volunteer my time as a graphic and UI designer. Am I in the right place? :S
[14:21] <coz_> angusfretwell,   well not sure actually... you may want to speak with thorwil   or kwwii
[14:22] <angusfretwell> OK thanks :)
[15:00] <thorwil> angusfretwell: hi! while wanting to volunteer is great and generous, as things are, you pretty much have to take an active approach
[15:01] <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
[15:02] <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
[15:03] <angusfretwell> what i'm mainly good at is user interface design
[15:03] <angusfretwell> whether it be for the web or otherwise
[15:04] <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
[15:05] <angusfretwell> thorwil: OK, I'll take a look ath that
[15:06] <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
[15:07] <thorwil> to then do mockups, eventually
[15:07] <angusfretwell> thorwil: OK, I'll try that, too.
[15:11] <thorwil> angusfretwell: do you have an online portfolio?
[15:11] <angusfretwell> thorwil: No, not at the moment
[15:15] <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.
[20:35] <coz_> hey guys
[20:37] <BlueBomber7> Hi :)
[20:40] <darkmatter> 'ello coz_
[20:40] <coz_> darkmatter,  hey guy :)
[20:40] <doctormo> ello
[20:41] <coz_> doctormo,  hey guy
[20:41] <darkmatter> hi doctormo
[20:42] <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.
[20:43] <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?
[20:44] <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...
[20:45] <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'
[20:46] <doctormo> 'dude' is also American slang and 'man' is a Saxon word for 'human being'
[20:47] <doctormo> You probably mean wereman as aposed to wifman.
[20:47] <coz_> doctormo,  yeah essentially it does mean bloke :)
[20:48] <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.
[20:50]  * darkmatter gets a wif of doctormo and defends himself with febreeze :P
[20:50] <doctormo> darkmatter: How are you?
[20:51] <thorwil> aha! http://old.theshtick.org/language/woman.html
[20:51] <darkmatter> dunno. alive I suppose *checks for pulse* yup. alive ;)
[20:58] <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 :)
[21:00] <darkmatter> :)
[21:55] <coz_> now i need to find a flickr like place for music
[22:14] <doctormo> coz_: there are a ton of them, and some are even not shit.
[22:14] <doctormo> Unlike flickr, which is evil incarnate.
[22:49] <coz_> doctormo,  oh??  I didnt realize
[22:49] <coz_> doctormo,  why is flicker evil and ubuntu uses it for sumission s o0
[22:50] <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] <coz_> oh!!
[22:50] <doctormo> look up cchost, it was original meant for music sites anyway
