* vish facepalms at typo should have been "Misled"08:55
thorwilvish: having mistyped misled is a meager misstep, nothing that should make you feel miserable09:51
vish :)09:52
vishthorwil: i've also noticed john sends his best regards ;p09:53
thorwili still don't know if it's a mental deficiency, or very sophisticated trolling09:54
vishheh, lets go with "mental" for now ;)09:55
thorwilbut interesting that 2 people know to make use of CC and no one else ...09:55
vishleogg is a member of the regional board..09:56
vishi think the americas one09:56
thorwilCC: carbon copy, not community council09:57
vishoh! lol09:57
thorwilhooray for abbrev. overloading. creative commons, too09:57
coz_well the mailing list "stuff" is distressing15:45
coz_vish,   I assume the "member" discussed in the mailing list is  jbaer ?15:49
vishcoz_: afaik, that is whom thorwil , doctormo and I are referring to..15:50
vishheh! the same day, we have two replies, one person saying there is no critique and another saying critique is harsh!15:51
vishplain madness! :/15:51
coz_vish,   absolutely15:51
coz_vish,   harsh critisism I have not witnessed15:52
coz_except maybe from that  "evilvish" guy  lol15:52
vishyea.. :)15:52
coz_:)15:52
vishi have no more patience for jbaer or his sheer stupidity15:53
* darkmatter waves vigorously in the direction of coz_ and vish15:54
coz_darkmatter,  hey guy :)15:54
vishhow very odd that he creates his own teams and expects people to come asking him to stop15:54
vishas if everyone has nothing else to do..15:54
coz_vish,  i understand the desire to contribute... I am not quite sure I understand the move to "fork"  the team... seems a bit over the top15:55
vishyea..15:55
coz_I have non need for control .. h ere... I have been here for years... I have had my run ins with people from ubuntu-forums over "content"  of graphics,, and certainly wanted change,, this year has brought much of that change ... I really dont want anyone to leave..15:59
coz_does this jbear even come here?16:00
vishcoz_: he lives in his own universe16:01
coz_vish,  mm  and yet he has drawn in many people,,, myself included out of ignorance16:02
vishcoz_: he contacts(spams) a lot of people and misleads16:02
coz_vish,   apparenlty16:02
coz_vish,  is there no solution?16:03
vishcoz_: solution for? :)16:03
coz_vish,  well anyone leaving... jbear  stopping or joining in as part of the community?16:03
vishcoz_: i dont know what i can say... someone other than the usual should reply (hint hint) ;)16:04
vishthe usual suspects*16:04
coz_vish,  ah  I completely understand16:04
coz_vish,  I assume attempts have been made to discuss things with jbear  as well ...yes?16:05
vishcoz_: yep, doctormo , thorwil and myself have tried talking to him in private emails, but he does not provide answers about his actions16:05
highvoltagegood mornign rays of sunshine16:05
coz_highvoltage,  hey guy16:06
coz_I assume "guy"16:06
highvoltageyep16:06
vishcoz_: i'm completely flabbergasted! i'm like telling people are not submitting at the right place, the place where judges will look  and he ask what is the harm! o.016:06
vishasks*16:07
vishif noone mentioned it even now, there would have been no submissions in the actual pool and we would not have had any illustrations :/16:08
coz_vish,   understood...  well "if"  his actions were not meant to be " competitive" or done out of malice against this group,,, then at the very least it came at the wrong time...16:09
coz_and either way... the "lack" of discussion  prevents any other conclusion  than  apathy to how things are organized16:10
vishcoz_: that is a big if ;)16:10
vishcoz_: if he has not understood where the submissions need to go, he should have asked iain16:11
coz_damn fingers16:11
vish why create a new team and ask everyone to submit there..16:11
coz_vish,  its clear he understands16:11
vishyea16:12
coz_well let me put my own comments into the mailing list then16:12
vishthanks :)16:12
coz_vish  who here is actually on the "design team" ?16:14
highvoltagejbear lead us (edubuntu) to believe that his effort for a wallpaper was from the ubuntu-art project as a whole. perhaps at the time it was, I still don't know all the details. but I only recently came to realise (after talking to doctormo and some others) that it's definitely not the case now16:15
vishhighvoltage: thats his MO ;)16:15
vishcoz_: i asked iain on tuesday i think, it is logged here16:15
coz_ok16:16
vishcoz_: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/02/15/%23ubuntu-artwork.html16:17
vishcoz_: pls dont quote that on the ML :D16:17
coz_thanks looking16:17
coz_ok :)16:17
thorwilB-)16:35
=== chaotic_ is now known as chaotic
vishbah.. thats the max i can spend talking about john for the day..20:16
vishanymore and i'd get insane (even more than now ;))20:17
thorwilvish: you should drop out, too20:30
vishthorwil: yea, thinking about it as well.. better we just shut the team down20:31
doctormovish: I will go when you go, but you should stay here to talk21:04
vishdoctormo: :)  the only reason i'm staying on(by a thread) right now, is to hope that people do not get misled further21:05
vishseriously i cannot understand why someone would be so stubborn and not sure what he is trying to achieve..21:05
doctormovish: Ah well, I've gone away to do code and I shan't be showing it to anyone or mentioning it until it's basically done.21:06
doctormoBecause I'm sick of trying to get tools off the ground and being shot down.21:06
doctormoCollaboration just means pain.21:06
vishhehe!21:06
vishdoctormo: have you noticed the drop in replies from the design team? they are obviously ignoring john too21:07
doctormoThey're also a busy team21:07
vishyep, that too..21:07
doctormoI don't think we should give up on the core idea of the art team, because we show such a bad face to open organisation to the design team.21:07
vishif we continue on this path, pretty soon the artwork team would be shut or merged into ayatana21:08
doctormoNah, there is a very different aspect between the two.21:08
vishwe seriously cant have one person continuously misrepresenting and spreading false info, just because he has the time to spend on this21:08
vishif this goes on, then design blog alone is enough.. design team can announce info21:10
vishand there need not be any conversations..21:10
vishand no one would be able to call themselves representatives ;)21:10
doctormovish: Who administers the mailing list?21:11
vishdoctormo: kwwii i suppose21:11
doctormothe only way to clear this is to get john banned from the mailing list and kicked from being an Ubuntu member.21:12
vishdoctormo: more than the mailing list. he privately contacts a lot of people21:12
doctormoAnd that would be REALLY hard21:12
vishdoctormo: the contacting privately is the main problem, he has been going around just asking stating that he is the representative for the art team21:13
vishand announcing that there is this competition21:13
doctormoDo we have a launchpad team?21:13
vishdoctormo: yup21:13
doctormokwwii again?21:13
vishhmm, i think so21:13
vishdoctormo: the part where he turns crazy is where he misleads people to his teams instead of the artwork team21:14
visherr, s/teams/groups21:14
doctormoreptilian civil service empire building. bleh21:15
vishdoctormo: he is like a nigerian spam scammer ;p21:15
doctormobut worse, fishing attacks ;-)21:16
vish:D21:16
