| daker | hey newz2000 the homepage has a link that point to http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop-archive/why-is-it-free which is 404 | 14:18 |
| mhall119 | daker: I'm looking for someone who can fix that | 14:26 |
| mhall119 | thanks | 14:26 |
| daker | yw | 14:26 |
| mhall119 | daker: fixed now, thanks again | 14:27 |
| daker | ok | 14:28 |
| jbwiv | hi guys. I was wondering whom I should provide feedback to regarding the current ubuntu.com look? | 16:15 |
| newz2000 | jbwiv: there are a few people in here who will hear,also there's the mailing list for more detailed ideas, or the ubuntu-website-content project on launchpad for bugs | 16:16 |
| jbwiv | newz2000, ok, well, I was out yesterday looking at the pre-launch page and found it absolutely beautiful. Nice balance and use of color and contrast. I looked today and actually thought the site was broken...that I was missing a css download because of site load. The overuse of white is just so glaring. White on the sides, white in the middle, etc. It's hard to look at. :-( I really appreciate all the hard work you guys do, but hope you'll consi | 16:27 |
| jbwiv | der creating more of a balance. I really think narwhal is the best ubuntu release ever, and it should have a website that speaks to that ;-) | 16:27 |
| newz2000 | thanks for the feedback jbwiv. | 16:28 |
| newz2000 | We did shave about 1MB off the homepage. :-) | 16:29 |
| newz2000 | and by "we" I mean the team, I just watched it happen. | 16:29 |
| mhall119 | it was quite a spectacle too | 16:29 |
| jbwiv | newz2000, ha...no problem ;) I know everyone has an opinion, but I'd be surprised if I'm not alone in not liking the glaring white. of course, maybe my monitors have the brightness too high ;-) | 16:30 |
| jbwiv | newz2000, that's always a win | 16:30 |
| jbwiv | but surely a bit of color wouldn't add a meg back in | 16:30 |
| jbwiv | the site design looks great | 16:30 |
| jbwiv | just the color that kills me...even darker dots on the site might ease the eye strain | 16:30 |
| jbwiv | oh well, for what it's worth ;) | 16:30 |
| jbwiv | in general, you guys create beautiful pages | 16:31 |
| mhall119 | Ubuntu's so bright you gotta wear shades | 16:31 |
| jbwiv | mhall119, lol...or run f.lux ;-) | 16:31 |
| jbwiv | is the website done mostly by volunteers or hired guns? | 16:32 |
| mhall119 | it's harder to make a bad pun and reference 80's music about f.lux | 16:32 |
| jbwiv | you could say the sight is a bit f.lux'd up... ;-) | 16:33 |
| mhall119 | but without 80's musical reference, it just feels empty | 16:33 |
| jbwiv | mhall119, yeah...I got nothing | 16:38 |
| jbwiv | Super F.lux? | 16:38 |
| jbwiv | althought that may be 70s | 16:38 |
| newz2000 | jbwiv: no, www.ubuntu.com is mostly not managed by volunteers, though a few do make big contributions through QA and the bug tracker. | 16:58 |
| newz2000 | However many of our related sites do get major help from the community. | 16:58 |
| jbwiv | newz2000, ok, cool. do you mind me asking who does the gfx work? my company is in need of a graphic designer and the stuff they put together at ubuntu.com looks great... | 17:00 |
| newz2000 | jbwiv: yaili, who is sometimes here, does that. She's gainfully employed, you can't have her. :-) | 17:01 |
| newz2000 | details at http://design.canonical.com/ | 17:01 |
| jbwiv | newz2000, ok, thx ;-) | 17:44 |
| mhall119 | jbwiv: if you're looking for some custom artwork, I'd recommend http://thinkdualbrain.com/ | 18:15 |
