OvenWerkszequence: I just checked, setting does not depend on -icon-theme. I think it should. I can fix, but would like to make sure you don't disagree :)03:53

smartboyhwOvenWerks, LOL04:15
zequenceOvenWerks: No, it's fine that it doesn't depend on it08:02
zequenceOvenWerks: We just need to add that as a dependency if we minimize our desktop meta to depend on xubuntu-desktop ubuntustudio-default-settings08:03
zequence..and ubuntustudio-menu (once it's available)08:05
smartboyhwzequence, so, since you made the kernel maintenance page available, can I try Bug 1199252?;P08:16
ubottubug 1199252 in Kernel SRU Workflow "linux-lowlatency: <version to be filled> -proposed tracker" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/119925208:16
zequencesmartboyhw: no, sorry. It requires for you to have a signed gpg key, which UKT can accept08:16
smartboyhwzequence, heh meh08:17
zequencekernels are a little different from other packages :P08:17
smartboyhwzequence, wait, UKT or CKT?08:17
zequenceUbuntu Kernel Team08:17
zequenceah, yeah08:17
zequenceCanonical Kernel Team, or whatever08:17

smartboyhwJesus, I got 8605 karma !!!08:19
* smartboyhw exceeds zequence in karma yay08:19
smartboyhw(LOL)08:19
zequenceit's not a comptetition, and frankly, why are you a member of so many teams? Do you interact with all of them?08:20
smartboyhwzequence, sometimes08:23
smartboyhwzequence, well at least the karma I earned mainly from is good08:26
smartboyhw(a.k.a. packaging)08:26
zequencesmartboyhw: you joined ubuntu-kernel-team manually?08:27
zequencesmartboyhw: that team doesn't have any special privileges, and being a member of it doesn't necessarily mean you are in a "kernel team", as a developer.08:37
zequencesmartboyhw: I can't let you maintain the kernel. It's a long term commitment, and it would require for me to meet you in person so I can sign your gpg key.08:38
zequenceyou are always free to test the process in a PPA, and even do changes to the kernel, if you want to learn more about doing that08:38
smartboyhwzequence, what would have happened if you started maintaining it in saucy and there's no UDS?:P08:39
smartboyhwJust imagining08:39
zequencesmartboyhw: I would have needed to meet someone in Sweden, such as David H08:39
zequence..who works for Canonical08:39
smartboyhwzequence, hell. There's a Hongkonger who works for Canonical, but he's in Beijing now;P08:40
zequenceI'm probably meeting a few people in Switzerland again in August08:41
zequenceduring DebConf1308:42
smartboyhwzequence, you're lucky that you can attend these things08:43
smartboyhwI missed this year's KDE Akademy due to study tour08:43
smartboyhw*will be missing08:43
zequencesmartboyhw: I'm 35, you're 15. You have time, don't worry ;)08:43
smartboyhwzequence, ;) 08:43
smartboyhwzequence, I got my report sheet today08:43
zequencesmartboyhw: is that about your school work?08:44
smartboyhwzequence, yeah08:46
smartboyhwBreak a few self records08:46
smartboyhwRank: 6 in form (out of 187)08:46
smartboyhwConduct Grade: A (FOR THE FIRST TIME)08:46
smartboyhwAnd I got a generally improvement award (LOL)08:46
smartboyhwAnd I got a subject prize for the second term in Computer Literacy (that happens every year)08:47
smartboyhwFIrst;P08:47
zequencethat's good. you have a good brain for school08:48
smartboyhwzequence, 6 is my career high at Secondary school08:49
smartboyhw13 -> 21 -> 36 (career low) -> 19 -> 6 -> 6 (That's why I got *general improvement* LOL)08:50
smartboyhwzequence, and now due to my rank my parents don't need to pay school fees at Form 4!08:50
zequencepaying for school kind of sucks08:54
zequenceglad you're doing so well08:56
smartboyhwzequence, I thought of one thing: Ubuntu contributions increases my rank!:P09:21
zequencewhat rank?09:22
zequencein school?09:23
zequenceIt might be worth something when applying for educations or jobs later on, depending on how the people approving you value work on Ubuntu09:26
zequenceOvenWerks: I'm putting the menu and the icons to our development PPA09:28
zequenceOvenWerks: source for the icon theme?09:29
smartboyhwzequence, yeah09:33
OvenWerkszequence: the -icon-theme src in my PPA is now old. Mish has done more work yet.13:01
OvenWerksI am surprised that settings would not depend on the icon-theme. How can you set a DE to use something (have a setting that points at) you don't depend on? 13:03
OvenWerksHowever, so long as there is something that does depend on it (the xfce desktop does right now).13:04
OvenWerksI guess that would be our desktop.13:04
OvenWerkszequence: So I am guessing the idea is to have a much trimmed down desktop meta/seed that includes the xubuntu desktop?13:14
zequenceOvenWerks: I'm just playing with that idea right now, but if our aim is to keep in sync with Xubuntu, and it's easy enough just to do things this way, then why not16:24
zequenceOvenWerks: I mean like the bzr source for the icons16:24
zequenceyou haven't done any changes to it since January something?16:25
zequenceOvenWerks: Never mind about the icon theme. I'm on top of it now :)18:58
Mishzequence: You're on top of it?18:59
OvenWerkszequence: Mish's changes are all a lot more recent than that, but I have not yet merged any of them in pending revue by art lead and Mish being finished.19:47
=== TheDrums_ is now known as TheDrums
zequenceMish: Just about which source is which. Nothing about the icons themselves20:27
zequenceMish: madeinkobaia may be a bit abscent currently, and so I don't know how much feedback we will get from him. Are you in touch with him about the icons?20:28
Mishin touch other than with mailing list/IRC, no20:28
MishI mean I haven't emailed him personally yet20:29
zequenceMish: What is the origin of these icons? Did you create them from scratch?20:29
MishYes from scratch20:29
zequenceOk, just asking. Some images look classic enough to look like you've seen them before :)20:30
zequenceMish: Would you be interested in making a colored version of them?20:30
MishWell objects depicted are iconic of that particular thing20:31
MishLike Headphones for audio, shutters for photography, paintbrush for graphics etc20:31
zequenceYes, and I think it's a good thing that you can easily identify them.20:32
zequenceIf adding colors, one idea I could bring to the table is using one color for each20:32
MishAbout coloured version, yes I can work on them, but first I'll have to figure out how to adapt to a coloured version20:32
zequenceOr, having one color being the main color of each, if you know what I mean20:33
MishI mean when I initally made them, all I had in my mind was a classic monochrome scheme20:33
MishYes I understand20:33
zequenceSort of like the different slides you see on our website. Each workflow has a different color20:33
zequenceWhen you see them all together, you'll easily be able to identify which is audio, video, graphics, just by the color20:34
MishYes that'd be good20:34
zequenceAnd it might be interesting to think about which colors go best with which workflow too20:34
Mishum where exactly on the website do we have those colours? When yous said slide show, I thought you were talking about the feature tour 20:35
zequenceThe slides on our website could be an inspiration perhaps, but they are not well thought out. I did some of them myself, which you can spot by noticing the bad quality of some of them :) (I used gimp to alter the color of the first slide)20:35
Mishbecause then we could match those colours, to make it consistent20:35
zequenceThey are on the home page. It's the slides where the first one says "Welcome to Ubuntu Studio "20:36
MishAh ok understood20:36
zequenceThey aren't consistent. Both audio and video are blue20:37
zequencePhotography is quite red, and publishing green20:37
MishThat actually looks reallly good20:37
MishI never paid attention before XD20:37
Mishbut then I don't visit the site very often20:38
Mishyes photography red is a bit strong but otherwise it's great20:38
Mishand I like the green one, but may be a little biased20:38
zequenceThe quality is more in how the color is contrasted. If you compare with the first slide, you'll notice a very different quality in contrast20:39
zequenceThis is because the first one is probably made in Inkscape originally, and the red and green I did in Gimp, using the png image20:39
zequenceYou can clearly see lines between lighter green and darker green, for example20:40
MishWhich is not a bad thing :D20:41
zequenceWell, if I had done the green and red with inkskape, using the original project, the contrast would have been smooth20:41
zequenceno lines20:41
Mishbanding gradients are used aesthetically in lots of places20:41
zequenceI could imagine audio being red, like the record button. Also, publishing could be green. There's a bit of room to play around with these colors I think. 20:43
Mishand you can produce smooth gradients in GIMP as well :D20:43
zequenceI mean, publishing could be yellow (like paper or something)20:43
zequenceJust an idea, about the colors. But I think it would be good both aesthetically, as well as functionally20:44
MishOnce we do decide on a colour for each of the five menus, do the submenus in audio have to have something as well?20:44
MishAnd by coloured version do you mean icons maintaining the flat look but having a colour scheme different than plain B?W, or do you mean traditional icons with shading?20:45
zequenceSure. And I don't think you can create a perfect logic for the colors so easily. I think it's enough if some are somehow logical, and the others just fill out the other possible colors20:45
zequenceMish: I think it's hard to say about flat vs shaded. If the icons stand out very much (which they will if the icon theme is very different anyway), that may just enhance the experience of those belonging to Ubuntu Studio, and that doesn't need to be a bad thing20:48
OvenWerks+120:49
zequenceby icon theme, I mean the icon theme chosen by the user, whether it is default or not20:49
zequencebut I think I prefer colored over black and white. That's my position at this time anyway20:50
OvenWerksBut two colour (black and colour or white and colour) is still a similar style.20:51
Mishzequence : So flat icons with different colours?20:53
OvenWerksI was thinking colour with clear, but depending on the BG the Icon could vanish.20:55
OvenWerksHave you seen the libreoffice icons?20:55
zequenceMish: If that is what you'd prefer, I'm willing to see how that works. I can't really tell until I see the result :)20:56
MishOverWerks: The ACYL icon theme has a python script to change the colour of the icons to prevent that thing, and I don't know but other icons sets might also using such scripts20:57
Mishzequence: Alright, I'll prepare some test icons and then post them on the mailing list 20:58
OvenWerkszequence: I would also like to incorperate these icons into the menu package. They would end up in hicolor in case the user chose another icon theme besides ubuntustudio.20:58
OvenWerksThey do not have to be the saem as our icon theme, but nicer than mine would still be nice.20:59
zequenceOvenWerks: Yes, I was under the impression that these icons were specific for the menu, so I suppose that would make sense. Since the ubuntustudio-menu is not a standard one, either the icons need to be fetched from existing standards, or custom made21:00
zequenceand my understanding is that we're working towards custom icons for the custom Ubuntu Studio menu entries21:00
zequenceOvenWerks: the menu is now auto built to this PPA each day https://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev/+archive/devel21:04
zequenceI added a recipe for it earlier today21:04
OvenWerkszequence: Ok, when we have a better idea what ones we will use I will drop them in.21:10
zequenceOvenWerks: I'm behind you on adding icons to it right now, so whenever you want to. We'll wait with uploading until we feel it's ready for public testing, and then of course, we have until feature freeze to decide on the details21:24
OvenWerkszequence: the menu package already has icons in it. But they are mostly my old artwork.21:50
