[14:18] <daker> hey newz2000 the homepage has a link  that point to http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop-archive/why-is-it-free which is 404
[14:26] <mhall119> daker: I'm looking for someone who can fix that
[14:26] <mhall119> thanks
[14:26] <daker> yw
[14:27] <mhall119> daker: fixed now, thanks again
[14:28] <daker> ok
[16:15] <jbwiv> hi guys. I was wondering whom I should provide feedback to regarding the current ubuntu.com look?
[16:16] <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
[16:27] <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 ;-)
[16:28] <newz2000> thanks for the feedback jbwiv.
[16:29] <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
[16:30] <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 ;)
[16:31] <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 ;-)
[16:32] <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
[16:33] <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
[16:38] <jbwiv> mhall119, yeah...I got nothing
[16:38] <jbwiv> Super F.lux?
[16:38] <jbwiv> althought that may be 70s
[16:58] <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.
[17:00] <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...
[17:01] <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/
[17:44] <jbwiv> newz2000, ok, thx ;-)
[18:15] <mhall119> jbwiv: if you're looking for some custom artwork, I'd recommend http://thinkdualbrain.com/
