MCR1JohnLea: Is it allowed to nerve you with 2 other design decisions needed ?12:03
JohnLeaMCR1; I'm just about to go into a meeting, but fire away - if I don't have time to answer them fully now we can come back to them later12:14
MCR1Thanks, 1. bug 101754112:14
MCR1https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/101754112:15
JohnLeaMCR1; that's something we are looking at for 13.0412:15
MCR12. bug 103795912:15
MCR1https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/103795912:15
JohnLeaMCR1; the previews haven't fully landed yet, what you are seeing now is incomplete with missing elements12:16
MCR1About the back button and right click cancel of previews - I did not find the other one related to it12:16
JohnLeaMCR1; hopefully there will be something cooler than a simple 'Back to results' button, but we have such a button reach as a fall back if we can't land plan A on time12:17
MCR1What is plan A ?12:17
JohnLeaMCR1; hopefully a good surprise ;-)  but we need to see if it can land first before announcing.  But you won't have too long to wait, max 2 weeks12:19
MCR1JohnLea: Ok, thanks a lot for your time - I'll let you go now ;)12:19
JohnLeaMCR1; np, thx!12:20
_fluffy_hey, help anyone?20:12
_fluffy_please help me on getting started on contributing to ubuntu UX20:12
_fluffy_atleast a proper how to link would be really helpful20:13
thorwil_fluffy_: outside of developing software that is or ends up in ubuntu and some discussions of very questionable worth on ux matters on the ubuntu-design list, "contributing to ubuntu UX" is an unsloved problem20:23
thorwilunsolved. even20:23
thorwil_fluffy_: i think, if you want to do work with impact, your best bet would be  contributing to a specific piece of software (that could be in the default install or be a common choice in some area). just proposing some changes out of the blue is unlikely to work. you have to get to know the (main) developers, build trust and understanding regarding goals and motivation20:29
thorwilnow how one would go about that without already having training in design/ux ... i don't know20:30
_fluffy_So, what is this channel basically for? What do people do over here? I've been posting this question for last two days and your's was the first reply i got.20:31
thorwil_fluffy_: this channel is a symbol for the health of a open/shared design process for all of ubuntu ;)20:32
thorwilgotta run, bye!20:34
_fluffy_Let me start fresh, i'm a developer and graphic designer. I recently got interested in UX and would like to pursue HCI after graduation. Before that i want to gain some experience on the same, so i think contributing to the open source would be the best way20:34
_fluffy_anyone else out there?20:35
_fluffy_anyone working on gnome usability project?21:43
