| dholbach | good morning | 08:01 |
| AlanBell | morning dholbach | 08:19 |
| dholbach | hi AlanBell | 08:20 |
| AlanBell | do we know how the core design team like to collaborate? | 08:29 |
| doctormon | AlanBell: google docs | 08:45 |
| thorwil | well, i guess being in one place rather often and using white-boards could also be mentioned | 08:48 |
| AlanBell | sabdfl reeled off a list of irc nicks in the last CC meeting, but I don't think there has been any comment from any of them | 09:37 |
| AlanBell | just wondering if they would prefer mailing lists to IRC or something else? | 09:37 |
| AlanBell | google hangouts perhaps? | 09:37 |
| AlanBell | "<sabdfl> it feels weird to me that the ubuntu design team doesn't include johnlea, mika, oren, calum, christian, mpt..." | 09:38 |
| AlanBell | mpt is here, the rest don't appear to be on freenode | 09:39 |
| mainerror | sladen is here as well. | 09:41 |
| sladen | AlanBell: FWIW, I can only see mika on the Canonical internal IRC | 09:54 |
| sladen | AlanBell: I will poke people a little later | 09:55 |
| AlanBell | great | 09:57 |
| mpt | AlanBell, "oren" is oreneeshy, "calum" is ckpringle | 10:10 |
| mpt | AlanBell, what's the "CC"? | 10:11 |
| AlanBell | the community council | 10:11 |
| AlanBell | http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/11/17/%23ubuntu-meeting.html#t17:04 | 10:12 |

| shnatsel | Hi everyone! I came here following doctormon's invitation in Ubuntu Artwork mailing list. | 20:21 |
| thorwil | hi shnatsel | 20:24 |
| shnatsel | hi thorwil | 20:25 |
| shnatsel | glad to meet you! | 20:25 |
| shnatsel | oh btw, Ubuntu Studio needs some love | 20:25 |
| shnatsel | Boot screen and login screen background, to be exact | 20:25 |
| shnatsel | the mockups, to be even more exact | 20:26 |
| shnatsel | I can code the plymouth myself, I already have some experience in that, e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75_qyL7U2ME | 20:26 |
| mainerror | Hello shnatsel. | 20:26 |
| shnatsel | hello mainerror | 20:27 |
| shnatsel | (that thing on youtube is very old though; I've learned a lot since then) | 20:27 |
| shnatsel | thorwil: UbuntuStudio devs humbly hope that you'll come up with something for their boot and login screens | 20:34 |
| thorwil | shnatsel: oh, will not happen. | 20:35 |
| shnatsel | that's a pity | 20:36 |
| shnatsel | they seem to be in the poorest state of all official derivatives :( | 20:37 |
| shnatsel | I have to help them from time to time apart from my usual work for elementary project | 20:37 |
| thorwil | shnatsel: because i have several things on my list that are more pressing and/or interesting. tbh i don't think this derivative should exist. not as more than a collection of (meta-) packages | 20:39 |
| shnatsel | thorwil: they do an amazing job shipping an OOTB environment for professional sound processing | 20:40 |
| shnatsel | thorwil: regular Ubuntu is hardly suitable for that | 20:40 |
| doctormon | shnatsel: Do you have a good definition of what UBS needs? | 20:40 |
| shnatsel | doctormon: I think I do. You can ask ScottL in #ubuntustudio-devel for details right now if you wish. | 20:41 |
| doctormon | shnatsel: You should make sure you communicate with Scott how important it is to write down everythign you need in a blueprint or similar | 20:41 |
| shnatsel | doctormon: last time I checked they needed a boot screen mockup and a background image for login screen | 20:42 |
| doctormon | Think about a design breif. | 20:42 |
| shnatsel | doctormon: yeah, I've already converted them to blueprints | 20:42 |
| shnatsel | :) | 20:42 |
| doctormon | It's no good asking designers to boldly seek out the very busy ScottL for information in his head ;-) | 20:42 |
| shnatsel | doctormon: last time I checked they needed a boot screen mockup and a background for LightDM greeter. But yeah, good point. | 20:44 |
| shnatsel | doctormon: thanks! | 20:44 |
| doctormon | shnatsel: So 1 wallpaper and 1 plymouth? Do you have a link to the briefs for each of those? | 20:48 |
| shnatsel | doctormon: for Plymouth - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Plymouth | 20:51 |
| shnatsel | doctormon: and examples at http://brej.org/blog/?p=238 | 20:51 |
| shnatsel | doctormon: and LightDM is expected to look similar to GDM, but nobody really knows that yet :( | 20:53 |
| shnatsel | doctormon: like this: http://iloveubuntu.net/pictures_me/lightDM%200.9.2%20Oneiric.png | 20:54 |
| doctormon | thorwil: This is why we need a website to host designs and projects. :-) | 21:00 |
| thorwil | doctormon: did i miss something? i'm debugging some realtime audio software. how matching, since u-studio is the topic :} | 21:01 |
| doctormon | thorwil: Indeed. Although I think the branding for ubuntu studio is more important that you expressed above. | 21:02 |
| shnatsel | MediaGoblin, anyone> | 21:13 |
| shnatsel | ? | 21:13 |
| thorwil | shnatsel: guess who did a logo and mentioned it here? ;) | 21:15 |
| shnatsel | thorwil: yeah, saw that on your blog :) | 21:15 |
| shnatsel | thorwil: nice one btw | 21:15 |
| thorwil | ty | 21:16 |
| thorwil | gotta run, good night! | 21:16 |
| mmiicc | AlanBell: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/11/28/ubuntu_tv/ | 21:21 |
| AlanBell | O.M.G. | 21:21 |
| AlanBell | /o\ | 21:21 |
| mainerror | hehe | 21:21 |
| mainerror | The internet is serious business. :D | 21:22 |
| shnatsel | ScottL says that he would write the exact requirements this weekend | 21:41 |
| mainerror | doctormon: What is the status of the design team website? Do you want to wait with it until after the meeting? | 21:46 |
| doctormon | mainerror: I want to wait until the meeting, consensus needs to be reached. | 21:47 |
| mainerror | I see. | 21:47 |
| doctormon | shnatsel: That sounds great, make sure he'll be specifying tone, logos and a list of don'ts. | 21:48 |
| mainerror | I will propose the use of Trello for the design team at the meeting. I feel this could really help. | 21:48 |
| doctormon | mainerror: Trello? | 21:49 |
| mainerror | https://trello.com/board/general/4ec98e1965baaac84a1359e9 | 21:49 |
| mainerror | It is like a todo list but a lot better. | 21:51 |
| mainerror | doctormon: If you give me your email address I can invite you to the design team on Trello and you can play around with it. | 21:53 |
| doctormon | mainerror: Everyon should know my email: doctormo@ubuntu.com | 21:54 |
| mainerror | Sent. :) | 21:55 |
| mainerror | One day I'll get such a fancy forward email address as well. :) | 21:56 |
| AlanBell | the ubuntu-tv mailing list is going wild | 21:57 |
| doctormon | AlanBell: lol, WHAT DID YOU DO! ;-) | 23:23 |
| AlanBell | it is all a bit mad | 23:28 |
| AlanBell | however, there are lots of great ideas floating about and people are doing designs and storyboards | 23:28 |
| doctormon | AlanBell: That's great, using Pencil or some other method? | 23:33 |
| AlanBell | at least three are trying pencil, I think some others are doing other things | 23:34 |
| doctormon | mainerror: Trying to use Trello, it's _really_ slow. Far too slow to actually use any of the functionality. | 23:36 |
| doctormon | AlanBell: As you run through the ideas and methods, can you report back on your perception on whether we need a formal website or not? | 23:37 |
| AlanBell | will do | 23:37 |
| AlanBell | I can see a need for a few bits and bobs | 23:38 |
