knomeochosi, mr_pouit: would you be able to join us if we did an informal meeting earlier or later?06:39
knomei hope our scheduled time slot is fine for micah.06:40
knomei would be okay with setting up an informal meeting at 10 CET06:44
ochosiknome: yes, that would work for me. later wouldn't08:38
knomepleia2, you have a session for the next time slot?08:39
pleia2knome: no, but I need to spend at least half of it prepping for my lightning talk08:39
knomepleia2, maybe you could use the other half for discussing the artwork/marketingish stuff08:39
pleia2sure, meet somewhere at 10:30?08:40
knomeat the tables we were hacking on the plenary talk?08:40
knomei think i'm just going to skip the next sessions so i'll just sit around there08:40
pleia2sure08:41
knomei need something to make me less dehydrated08:41
ochosiok, so 10.30 - 11.00?08:42
knomeochosi, yeah08:42
ochosik, worksforme08:42
knomeochosi, i'll be around from 10 in irc too08:42
knomei'm not sure if a google hangout is doable, but maybe we can just chat in irc08:42
ochosithunar1.5.1 and xfsettings4.11.0 are ready in mr_pouit's ppa08:42
knomeaha, great08:43
ochosiyou should test it08:44
ochosithunar is lightning fast again08:44
ochosii mean really: like it was before the port to gio :}08:44
knomei think i'll leave that for home08:44
ochosi /begin-unofficial-meeting09:34
knomelol09:34
knomeso, is there something specific you want to discuss?09:34
ochosiyeah, in fact the disc-size problem09:35
knomeyep09:35
ochosibecause it affects much of what we wanna do with artwork09:35
knomemicah would be useful here09:35
ochosiyeah, true09:35
ochosibut you can later argue that with him :)09:35
knomelol09:36
ochosiso, point is09:36
micahg_mobileWell,I was thinking to look and see of we can port to python309:36
ochosinice09:36
ochosiif we want new/more artwork (dark themes, wallpapers), we need more space on the disc09:37
knomethat would definitely be nice09:37
ochosiin fact our icon-theme will most likely need more space in 13.0409:37
ochosibecause we'll implement a script by NSchermer to convert it to png09:37
satya164themes are in kbs09:37
ochosiwhich makes it faster09:37
satya164wallpapers need a lot of space09:37
ochosisatya164: for dark themes, we need icon-themes that work with them09:37
satya164and we need wallpapers in different resolutions too09:38
zequenceHow about a post install task, to add stuff that was not absolutely needed for a networkless install, but would be nice to have?09:38
ochosiso that's something that goes hand-in-hand for me09:38
zequence..at first login09:38
satya164ochosi: rigt!09:38
ochosizequence: yeah, that's one option09:38
satya164right09:38
ochosibut doing post-install scripts is a nice source for bugs09:38
knomeyeah09:38
zequenceI've seen Ubuntu sometimes does that to add some language files09:38
knomesatya164, we don't need wallpaper for different sizes09:39
knomesatya164, just shipping one big one is good09:39
satya164there are monitors of diff sizes, so...09:39
ochosiyeah, but ideally xfdesktop will take care of that09:39
knomeyes.09:39
satya164yeah right, only if it is a simple one09:39
ochosiwe can test how they look in diff res before09:39
micahg_mobileWe can also evaluate the default list of Xfce components to see if we want to ship them all09:39
ochosiso it's not that problematic09:39
satya164wallpapers will text will look odd if scaled09:39
satya164ok09:40
ochosimicahg_mobile: is there anything you're thinking of right now?09:40
knomei would like to do a complete check of the xubuntu ISO  seed this cycle09:40
micahg_mobileNo09:40
ochosihmm09:40
ochosii can only think of panel-plugins09:40
ochosibut those are too small to matter09:40
knomei mean, just go through it item by item and see if we need those09:40
micahg_mobileYes09:40
ochosiwhat would be nice:09:40
ochosia list of our core components incl size on disc09:41
knomeright09:41
ochosijust for everyone to be able to discuss on the same basis09:41
knomewith all dependencies or by package?09:41
ochosiotherwise it's random finger-pointing at components that are supposedly heavy09:41
knomei mean, when dependencies overlap...09:41
ochosiyeah, that's hard to say09:42
ochosilooking at you, mozilla09:42
pleia2hehe09:42
ochosiprolly ff and tb should be treated as one09:42
ochosigetting rid of just one of them doesn't make too much sense anyway09:42
knomeunless somebody wants to do something like a virtual ISO size calculator09:42
knomebluesabre, just sayin'!09:42
knomeit shouldn't be that hard09:42
ochosihow much do we save by dropping python209:43
knomea few whales09:43
satya164whales?09:44
knomej/k09:44
ochosiok, that's what i meant by: we need numbers! :)09:44
pleia2I asked how big a whale was, knome motioned "big" with his hands09:44
ochosihaha09:44
knomewell the problem in Q was gtk2/3 and python 2/3, so it can't be like 2MB only09:45
ochosialso09:45
knomehave fun calculating the dependencies :]09:45
ochosiwhat about the apps we dropped this time?09:45
ochosigimp, ...09:45
pleia2yay, micahg is here09:45
ochosiare we going to bring them back immediately?09:45
ochosianyway, for me it's important to know so that i know what to invest my time in, artwork-wise09:45
satya164so there is not a page containing all specifications for ringtail?09:46
ochosii can also try to come up with numbers on my end, btw09:46
bluesabreI think it's time to pick up shotwell and replace gthumb and ristretto09:46
bluesabre;)09:46
pleia2satya164: the specs are what we're defining right now :)09:46
ochosibluesabre: isn't shotwell a bit heavy for simple viewing? (agreed that for browsing/organising it's great)09:46
bluesabreit has a lightweight viewer that comes with it09:47
pleia2it's not even good for simple viewing09:47
ochosia-ha09:47
ochosididnt know there was a simple viewer09:47
satya164pleia2: I mean we need to have an index in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Raring/09:48
pleia2micahg says shotwell is too heavy, that's why ubuntu kept eog09:48
knomewe should keep ristretto09:48
knomesatya164, that's why we are here, to build the roadmap09:49
satya164knome: ok09:49
smartboyhwHi knome pleia2 09:49
bluesabreok, no shotwell, but here is that viewer :) http://imagebin.org/23415409:50
* smartboyhw thinks he can remotely come to the Xubuntu planning session now:P09:50
ochosihm, so a quick question round for you guys:09:50
pleia2bluesabre: how is that launched?09:50
ochosi1) is everyone happy with our default icon theme? (looking at faenza mostly as alternative)09:51
bluesabrepleia2: It can be set as the default viewer, and it's available from the right-click menu on an image09:51
ochosi2) do we want to have more gtk-themes installed by default?09:51
pleia2I think images need to be added to the shotwell album and all that, shotwell is crazy slow on my netbook so I can't really use it for quick opening of images09:51
knomeochosi, we just dropped some!09:51
bluesabreah09:51
ochosiknome: yes, because they were unmaintained09:51
satya164ochosi: the current one matches more with Greybird09:52
ochosii'm talking about getting ones that are maintained and have perfect gtk2/309:52
bluesabreI've had issues in the past with ristretto failing out on some images (especially svg)09:52
knomeare there such?09:52
ochosiyes09:52
ochosieven satya has a few we might think about09:52
bluesabreand gthumb is just an image browser, not really a image library manager09:52
ochosibluesabre: yes, that's a known issue09:52
knomebluesabre, report a bug09:53
ochosigthumb is mainly there for browsing camera's that use libgphoto (or what it's called)09:53
pleia2micahg says we should fix ristretto to support svg :)09:53
astraljavaDo we need to _have_ an image library manager by default?09:53
ochosiactually i think we don't09:53
ochosibut as i said09:53
bluesabreno, not really09:53
ochosithe reason isn't image-library management09:53
ochosiit's support for cameras09:53
pleia2I don't use it09:53
ochosiso if we can all agree that's not functionality that we need _by default_, it'll be easy to drop it09:54
ochosi(i also don't use it, i don't even know anyone who has a camera that needs that)09:54
astraljavaHmm... I always rather copy the images from the mem cards to HDD before looking at them, so I guess this discussion isn't what I'm looking for (/me makes jedi gestures)09:55
satya164knome: I propose to include http://satya164.deviantart.com/art/Evolve-GTK3-Theme-264780816 and http://satya164.deviantart.com/art/Cream-GTK3-Theme-33400670109:55
satya164though http://satya164.deviantart.com/art/Cream-GTK3-Theme-334006701 is a work in progress09:55
ochosiastraljava: even browsing them on sd cards works with ristretto. it's just about importing fotos via some canon-format or smthg like that09:55
satya164ochosi: even if I had a camera, i will just copy the iimages to hdd09:56
ochosiyes, but for copying you need something that supports libgphoto!!! :)09:56
satya164may be professional photographers need that09:56
bluesabreochosi: for anything like that, you'd need ufraw09:56
ochosithat's what gthumb is good for09:56
astraljavaochosi: You do? Aren't the SD cards just some vfat filesystem?09:57
ochosiarrrr, it's for cameras that don't get mounted as mass-storage device and that for ppl who at the same time don't have a cardreader09:57
astraljavaRight.09:57
satya164ochosi: oh... didn't know09:57
astraljavaWell, they can always install additional apps, IMNSHO. :)09:57
ochosibut i'm all for dropping gthumb, it just has to be for the right reasons09:57
satya164ochosi: we cannot support evrything!09:58
ochosiyeah, i agree! :)09:58
ochosiand as i said, let's drop it09:58
ochosiok, so any more voices on the themes satya164 proposed?`(i'm for them btw)09:58
ochosiand general opinions about getting more themes that work?09:59
ochosi(currently: blackbird, bluebird, greybird, albatross)09:59
ochosinote: they're all blue09:59
bluesabreevolve looks really similar to greybird09:59
ochosithat's true10:00
ochosisatya164: what about orion btw?10:00
bluesabregotta go, bbl :)10:00
ochosibluesabre: hf!10:00
satya164bluesabre: tru10:01
satya164ochosi: haven't updated Orion10:01
satya164ochosi: will try to do it within a week10:01
satya164ochosi: Orion already has a xfwm theme10:01
ochosiyeah, no rush10:01
ochositarget is 13.04 ;)10:01
ochosido you have a link to orion?10:02
satya164ochosi: yeah, but I'm already flooded with comments and emails asking about update10:02
ochosik10:03
satya164http://satya164.deviantart.com/gallery/3338741510:03
satya164ochosi: my ppa status says, Orion is the most popular theme by me10:03
satya164http://satya164.deviantart.com/art/Orion-GTK3-Theme-281431756?q=gallery%3Asatya164%2F33387415&qo=610:03
ochosimhm10:04
ochosii mean the colorscheme is again very close to greybird10:04
satya164ochosi: it's a lot lighter10:04
ochosiyeah, that's true10:04
satya164ochosi: I can change it if you prefer10:05
ochosiyeah we can discuss it during the cycle10:05
satya164ochosi: I'll do it while porting10:05
ochosiit's just about the highlight.color10:05
ochosithe rest isn't too similar10:05
satya164ochosi: yeah. we can perhaps use purple?10:06
Unit193Heh, you like "action" buttons (title buttons) on the left.10:06
satya164Unit193: I'm accustomed to it10:06
ochosiyeah, purple would work well i guess10:07
satya164as menus and most thing are in left, I don't have to travel to far right10:07
ochosii don't use window-buttons very much10:07
ochosii'm more a kb-guy10:07
satya164:)10:07
ochosianyway, ppl can easily change the layout of that in xfce10:07
satya164ok. I'm gotta go10:07
ochosiyeah, in fact me too10:08
satya164have to go to arrange sponsorship for my college seminar10:08
ochosihave fun you UDS people, even though you're all zoned-out now it seems!10:08
ochosisatya164: ok good luck!10:08
satya164:)10:08
satya164bye10:08
satya164thanks10:08
knomeheh yeah10:08
knomesorry10:08
Unit193ochosi: I think they are generally zoned out.10:09
knometrue.10:11
* astraljava doesn't like zones10:13
ochosiok, i'm off10:14
ochosihave fun everyone and talk to you later10:14
