| YoBoY | hi designers :) | 13:12 |
| yaili | hi | 13:20 |
| YoBoY | there is a release date for the new design website (madebymake.something) ? My locoteam (ubuntu-fr) started to work on a new design and this site can really help us :) | 13:23 |
| yaili | YoBoY: not yet, I'm afraid, but I'm working on the schedule for that this week, as soon as possible, it's very important! :) | 13:26 |
| yaili | YoBoY: also, that won't be the correct url | 13:26 |
| YoBoY | yes sure :) | 13:27 |
| doctormo-other | Have people seen the post on planet from Christian Giordano? | 13:31 |
| YoBoY | there is some rules my team have to follow on top of the guidelines, or are we free to adapt these guidelines with our own ideas ? If I remember well my team was an example for a "type 3" ubuntu websites | 13:31 |
| mhall119 | yaili: is there any help we can offer in getting the new design website out? | 13:31 |
| doctormo-other | wendar: Could I grab your ear for a few minutes? | 13:31 |
| YoBoY | doctormo-other: I have seen it and it was right on time. Our parisian party is over and I finally have more time to work on design | 13:33 |
| yaili | mhall119: sadly, no, it's mainly logistics | 13:34 |
| doctormo-other | nuthinking: ping | 13:35 |

| Andy80 | hi :) | 14:48 |
| wendar | doctormo-other: good morning :) | 14:56 |
| wendar | doctormo-other: have got one meeting in 5mins, but free after that | 14:56 |
| mhall119 | Hi all, I've started a wiki page for the design team: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesignTeam | 15:39 |
| mhall119 | I think we should discuss what the mission for this collaborative team should be, what we would like to see as goals, and where we should limit our scope | 15:39 |

| om26er | I have a question, would the launcher have blur in future? | 16:22 |
| sladen | om26er: I think rosie/chaotic might have tried some experiements with blur in the design process | 17:04 |
| sladen | om26er: jaytaoko would be able to say what the actual situation on the implementation side is | 17:05 |
| om26er | i saw blur in the launcher sometime the Oneiric cycle IIRC | 17:05 |
| om26er | would be good to have the launcher blurred, in some cases the totally transparent panel can be un clear on eyes, especially for BFB | 17:06 |
| sladen | om26er: yes, IIRC in Orlando rosie, Otto, Cimi and MacSlow(?) were looking at possibilities for making the background work a little more effectively | 17:07 |
| om26er | sladen, that's interesting and cool to hear :-) | 17:09 |
| om26er | launcher needs to rock harder :-D | 17:10 |
| sladen | om26er: I think the general idea is to firm up what's there | 17:11 |
| sladen | om26er: eg. the reports of certain colour-combinations causing text<->background constrast issues | 17:11 |
| MacSlow | sladen, I was not directly involved in this particular discussion | 17:25 |
| MacSlow | I talked with Otto about other background-related stuff | 17:26 |
| calcmandan_pre | Hello folks | 18:02 |
| om26er | jaytaoko, continuing here, will the launcher have blur ? | 19:41 |
| jaytaoko | om26er: When the dash opens the launcher background becomes blurred | 19:41 |
| jaytaoko | om26er: same thing for the Dash and the panel. | 19:42 |
| om26er | and when there is not dash i.e. launcher over a maximized window is revealed, blurred launcher would look more attractive wont it? | 19:42 |
| jaytaoko | om26er: you are asking about having the blur be permanent in the launcher? | 19:42 |
| om26er | yes jaytaoko | 19:43 |
| jaytaoko | om26er: it is technically feasible. However there are a many reason why we don't do it at this stage. | 19:43 |
| jaytaoko | om26er: First it has to be part of the design. | 19:44 |
| jaytaoko | om26er: then there is the cost in resource and performance | 19:44 |
| om26er | I'll open a bug for that to see what design thinks about that | 19:44 |
| om26er | oh performance :/ | 19:44 |
| jaytaoko | om26er: The launcher being always visible, having an active blur there is more demanding | 19:45 |
| om26er | jaytaoko, that would be more of a problem on slower GPUs | 19:45 |
| om26er | right? | 19:45 |
| om26er | toggle FTW! :-D | 19:45 |
| jaytaoko | om26er: right! Oneiric was our first release of the active blur. We can still improve on the technique we use | 19:46 |
| jaytaoko | om26er: So it is not excluded that we are going to make the active blur more optimized in the future. | 19:47 |
| om26er | jaytaoko, could I assume "future" to be LTS+1 or that may happen this cycle as well ? | 19:48 |
| jaytaoko | om26er: Not sure; the first requirement is to have design decide on the treatment they have for the launcher | 19:49 |
| om26er | jaytaoko, I will open a bug about that :-) | 19:49 |
| jaytaoko | om26er: in the mean time that doesn't stop us to find new ways to optimize the algorithm for the blur | 19:49 |
| jaytaoko | om26er: no problem! | 19:50 |
| om26er | jaytaoko, thanks for all the info :-) | 19:50 |
| jaytaoko | om26er: you're welcome :) | 19:51 |
| * AlanBell wonders if the London design team folks would like to come out to play | 19:54 | |
| AlanBell | we have a pub meet on the 8th of December in Surbiton | 19:55 |
| AlanBell | and christmas meal on the 9th of december at Dans Le Noir in London | 19:55 |
| AlanBell | http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-uk | 19:55 |
| * AlanBell further wonders if sabdfl is in town for that? | 19:56 | |
| sabdfl | Dans le Noir tried to kill me | 20:01 |
| sabdfl | well | 20:01 |
| sabdfl | mistook 'allergic to shellfish' for 'i'll have extra shrimp, please' | 20:02 |
| sabdfl | it was entertaining :-) | 20:02 |
| sabdfl | great night, otherwise | 20:02 |
| AlanBell | gosh, that isn't so clever | 20:03 |
| AlanBell | nice 'tashe by the way | 20:03 |
| doctormo-other | sabdfl: An attempt on your life! never! | 20:04 |
| doctormo-other | AlanBell: We put in for lil-Violet's passport, I'm hoping I can come to that event still. | 20:04 |
| popey | oh wow, you're coming too? | 20:04 |
| popey | I've convinced Mrs Popey to come along too | 20:05 |
| AlanBell | excellent! | 20:05 |
| popey | I said that even though the place will be full of geeks, she wont be able to see them. | 20:05 |
| doctormo-other | popey: With the wife off on maternity leave and me off forever, the schedule is flexible. Matter of baby's schedule now ;-) | 20:05 |
| AlanBell | doctormo-other: do sign up on the page, we have a hard limit of places and it is first come first serve, you can change your attendance up to 48 hours in advance | 20:06 |
| popey | Do you have someone to look after mini-mo whilst you're eating unknown food product in the dark? | 20:07 |
| doctormo-other | http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-uk/1409/detail/ <- popey like the new design for listing attendees? | 20:09 |
| doctormo-other | AlanBell: Job done. | 20:10 |
| AlanBell | yay \o/ | 20:17 |
| doctormo-other | popey: Probably will be the wife, or my good friends in Surrey. | 20:18 |
| doctormo-other | ...looking after the lil one. | 20:18 |
| pleia2 | doctormo-other: lyz is my lp name, pleia2 won't work (that's why I changed it) | 23:03 |
| doctormo-other | pleia2: I forgot why I needed it. | 23:05 |
| popey | 23:13 | |
| wendar | pleia2: oh, good I just fixed workitem in https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/community-p-ux-participation | 23:46 |
| pleia2 | thanks :) | 23:46 |
