| knome | i've written a wordpress-plugin to manage countdown banner settings (we can turn the "release switch" on/off ourself) and rewritten the countdown banner script to accommodate to that | 13:33 |
|---|---|---|
| knome | i'm going to ask IS to create us a subdomain countdown.xubuntu.org, which will simply output you the latest countdown image | 13:34 |
| * smartboyhw likes a countdown:P | 13:34 | |
| knome | now, the question is: do we need a feature to overwrite this image randomly; eg. if beta2 is released, we could temporarily point to another image file | 13:35 |
| knome | (i was thinking that we could try to keep the url online and "alive" all the time, even in the beginning of the cycle. these temporarily images could then be anything; telling people to follow our twitter feed or so | 13:36 |
| knome | anyway, bbl | 13:37 |
| knome | pleia2, ^ comments plz | 13:38 |

| pleia2 | knome: seems like a lot of work maintaining so many banners, not sure it's worth it long term | 15:44 |
| knome | pleia2, i'm not sure if you understood... | 15:48 |
| knome | pleia2, currently, if you use the banner at xubuntu.org/countdown, it says 12.04 is out | 15:48 |
| knome | pleia2, and of course, it should soon start counting down to 12.10 - which we have done previously | 15:48 |
| knome | pleia2, and that will be done, and in the future, we only need IS to upload our image files, like before | 15:48 |
| knome | pleia2, but in addition, the WP plugin could allow us to use temporary images with no IS | 15:48 |
| knome | pleia2, eg. a month after 12.10 release, we can create a single banner that says "give us feedback", and from the web UI make xubuntu.org/countdown serve that instead of "12.10 is out!" | 15:49 |
| knome | pleia2, and when we want, simply remove the link, and it'll say "12.10 is out!" again, as scheduled byt the normal countdown stuff | 15:53 |
| knome | pleia2, we don't NEED to have these "special" banners if we don't want, but i can make it possible to use those if we want to | 15:53 |
| knome | pleia2, otherwise we can only ever have normal countdown banners (which is fine too if you think that's enough) | 15:53 |
| pleia2 | ah, well if we don't need to use them then it's ok :) I was just worried we'd end up with having alpha1 banners sitting around if you got busy and couldn't make another | 15:55 |
| pleia2 | (some weeks it's hard enough to even write our release notes, let alone make new pretty banner) | 15:56 |
| knome | lol, no | 15:56 |
| knome | the thing is | 15:57 |
| knome | we only have the special banner if we set one up | 15:57 |
| knome | and for the normal countdown, we will have had to upload things via IS | 15:57 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 15:57 |
| knome | but i'm not even sure myself if we need this | 15:57 |
| knome | sounds like advertising | 15:57 |
| knome | especially if people use the banner on their website, some self-advertising can be a bit intimidating | 15:58 |
| pleia2 | I've been happy enough with the existing ones | 15:58 |
| knome | ok, good then | 15:58 |
| knome | i'll push what i have now, and we should be flying soon | 16:00 |
| pleia2 | yay :) | 16:00 |
| pleia2 | http://dc.ubuntu-us.org/node/39 :) | 17:57 |
| knome | :) | 17:57 |
| pleia2 | it's actually not very xubuntu after sweets is installed, but still | 17:59 |
| knome | lol | 18:01 |
| knome | more xubuntu than windows | 18:01 |
| knome | again, bbl | 18:01 |
| pleia2 | good enough for me! | 18:04 |
| pleia2 | knome: I vote we do tourist stuff on Friday, and while doing tourist stuff we'll talk about xubuntu too ;) | 19:14 |
| knome | worksforme | 19:17 |
| pleia2 | yay | 19:17 |
| pleia2 | "look, a mermaid! ...yes, I agree that we should continue not to have birds on our background image" | 19:18 |
| knome | :D | 19:18 |
| astraljava | Well, how about mermaids for 13.04? | 19:59 |
| knome | astraljava, only if you'll model | 20:02 |
| astraljava | I'll have to learn how to grow fish scales, first. | 20:03 |
| Sysi | how will that fit "rampant rabbit" | 20:03 |
| knome | i suppose badly without lube | 20:04 |
| * knome hides | 20:04 | |
| Sysi | 10.10 should've been "merry mermaid" | 20:05 |
| SkippersBoss | i do know we re in the 21th century now but i do not think xu needs to be xxx rated | 20:18 |
| SkippersBoss | bad enough that ubuntu is moving into amazon | 20:19 |
| SkippersBoss | dont get me wrong /me loves amazon but uts something i choose myself not have forced upon me | 20:19 |
