knomei have idea for the "desktop" slide00:00
knomei'll make the slide emulate... the desktop!00:00
slickymasterthat's sweet00:00
knomeif we want to go *really* adventurous, i can even add some hover effects (like a menu opening), but don't hold your breath; we probably don't have space to do too much00:01
knomeor time, in terms of how long the slide is shown00:01
slickymasterand that will also hav an impact in the package size, no?00:02
slickymasterhave*00:02
knomenot considerable00:02
slickymasterknome: for wiskermenu, two sentences00:07

slickymasterwhat do you think?00:09
knomei think your message is cut00:09
knomeuse a pastebin ;)00:09
slickymasteryeah, I've past it fom Geany00:10
slickymasterfrom00:10
slickymasterpastebin isn'r working00:11

knomehttp://temp.knome.fi/xubuntu/trusty_slideshow/defaultapps3.png00:13
slickymasterit's coming together nicelly00:14
slickymasterregarding whislermenu I think that I should add the ability to search for applications from within the menu00:14
knomemhm00:15
knomere: email; yep, not bad.00:15
slickymasterlol, when you get to mhm, there's something coming my way00:15
knomehah! :)00:15
slickymasterid you saw what I said ^^Â00:16
slickymasterabout the ability to search for applications from within the menu.00:16
knomeyep00:16
knomethat's a good addition00:16
slickymasterso, now my question is, will it replace an existing slide or it would be an addittion?00:17
knomedepends00:17
knomethe default apps slide replaces quite many00:17
slickymasteryes00:17
slickymasterand jjfrv8 at least two00:17
knomewhat was the other slide?00:18
knomeactually00:18
slickymastersecond please00:18
knomei think it's time to stop playing around00:18
knomelet me push a new version in a branch soon.00:18
knomecurrently, we're down to 5 slides00:19
knome+ one for "help"00:19
knome+ one for whiskermenu00:19
slickymasterthe other slide you were asking is the 05_desktop.html00:20
knomehmm, not really00:20
knomewell00:20
slickymasterit refers, at least 2/3 of it, to what jjfrv8 is elaborating in his00:20
knomethat's replaced by the panel layout slide00:20
slickymasteryou're right, and actually some of it will be replaced by the potential wiskermenu slide00:22
slickymasterthe "The launcher panel gives you quick access to your most important applications. It is set to ...." sentence00:23
knomepushin00:26
knomeg00:26
slickymaster"Master the ability to search for applications from within the menu."00:26
knomehttps://code.launchpad.net/~knome/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/xubuntu-1404-planning00:27
knomelook at that.00:27
slickymasterwhat do you think, too much, isn't it?00:27
slickymastergoing to pull it00:27
knomesmells a bit like marketing ;)00:27
slickymastera lot like :P00:28
slickymastermy connection is lousy tonight00:29
knomebzr branch --lightweight lp:~knome/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/xubuntu-1404-planning00:29
knomethat should help00:29
knomewait00:30
knomewhat's that command again00:30
slickymasterit's almost done now00:30
slickymasterlet me build it00:30
knomebzr checkout --lightweight ...00:31
knomebut that doesn't seem like lightweight :P00:31
knomethe branch has so much history00:31
knomeand i guess it still needs to pull in quite much stuff00:31
slickymasteralready builed it and saw it00:32
knomeso, what do we think? :)00:32
slickymasterassuming that it's not the final number of slides00:33
knomenot at all00:33
slickymasteri do like it00:33
knomeand as you might guess, not all the content is final ;)00:33
knomeso do you think we should refrain from adding more slides?00:33
knomeor that we need more?00:33
slickymasterneither actually00:34
slickymasterI think you should be straight to the point00:34
knomemy guess is that we might need a few more slides00:34
knomebut that's still okay, and in the area of what i was thinking00:34
knomecurrently, the slideshow feels a bit end-heavy00:35
knomehaving the apps+help+thanks slides00:35
slickymasterbut the present layou is more interconnected with the all ambience theme of xubuntu00:35
knomeyep00:35
knomei'm wondering if we should do something that "breaks" the layout in the first slide00:35
knomecentered text?00:35
slickymasteryou're thinking of a total of what? 7 slides?00:36
knomeno header banner?00:36
knomewe currently have 6 in that branch00:36
knome+1 for whisker00:36
knome+1 for desktop looks customizin00:36
slickymasterhelp00:36
knome+1-2 for other stuff00:36
slickymasteryeah00:36
knomeso around 10ish00:36
slickymasterten would be a good number to calculate the time of each during the install00:37
slickymasterinstall time / 10 00:37
knomelol00:37
knomei think our calculators are able to do more complex calculations so we don't need to hit an even number ;)00:38
slickymasterabout breaking up the layout, I would go with the no header Âoption00:38
slickymasteryeah, just joking ;)00:38
knomethe problem with that is how to theme the forward-button00:38
knomei'd rather keep it visible anyway00:38
knomeeven if we could force it to be hidden in the first slide00:38
knomei'll try that.00:39
knomewell, meh, no00:39
slickymasternot getting it00:39
knomethen the user can't proceed and must wait 1/10 of the installation slide on that slide00:39
knomei think i'll try that anyway.00:39
slickymasternow I get i00:39
slickymasterit00:39
knomehmm,00:40
knomeactually it's not so easy00:40
slickymasterwhile you try it, I'm going to smoke a cigarette00:40
knomeheh00:40
knomei was thinking maybe i'll leave it00:40
knomei'm probably deciding to leave it visible anyway so... ;)00:40
slickymasterin the first one?00:40
knomeyeah.00:40
knomethat allows the user to go forward quickly if they want00:40
slickymasterand people do tend to be eager and feel the compulsion to do it00:41
knomeyep00:41
slickymastertrying to think in a header for the whisker slide00:43
slickymasterwhile I smoke00:43
knomemy experience says00:43
knomeleave it to dead last00:43
knomeit depends so much on what the next/prev slide is called00:43
slickymasterhaven't thought of it that way, but I have a feelling you might be right00:43
knomebut feel free to think something00:44
knomeit might be good to have at least a draft00:44
slickymasterI'm going to use your empty layout's slides00:47
knomeby all means00:47
slickymasterjust to add the text00:48
knometell me if you'd like to test alternative layouts :)00:48
slickymasterI do like this layout00:48
knomemeh,00:48
knomedropping the header doesn't really work00:49
knomemaybe make the whole slide darker?00:49
slickymasterhow much darker? it can't be too much00:50
knomeas dark as the header :)00:50
slickymasterhmm that might wotk00:50
knomenope.00:51
knomethe transition doesn't work with that00:52
slickymasterhave you tried to centered the text?00:52
knomei did00:52
knomewell, not the text, but the headers00:53
slickymastereven though I don't think it would work00:53
knomethat didn't work00:53
knomeand i don't think it would work with the text either00:53
knomebut i can try...00:53
knomecentering it to full slideshow width doesn't work00:54
knomecentering it in the space it is now looks barely different, but makes it less legible00:55
slickymasterbesides those, anything comes to mind?00:56
knomenot right now00:56
knomemaybe some artwork on the left hand side00:56
knomebecause that's not affected by the transition00:56
knomebut that might affect how the rest of the slide looks, the text on the right hand side might be a bit odd00:56
slickymasterthe size of the artwork would be crucial00:57
knomeyep00:58
slickymasterwe do have also to get the png's for the new applications00:59
knomesure00:59
knomebut that's a minor headache00:59
knomei can do placeholders for beta00:59
slickymastercomyes, comparatively, is00:59
slickymasterknome: http://pastebin.com/WbX66HkJ01:08
knomeblah @ shots01:08
knomei think we can have at maximum 2 screenshots01:09
knomeand not in following slides01:09
slickymasterdid you saw my proposal?01:10
slickymasterincluding the header01:10
knomeyep01:10
knomethe shots comment was directed at that ;)01:11
knomebut the content looks good as it is01:11
slickymasterwell the shots tag is an existence01:11
knomehehe01:12
knomeyep01:12
slickymasterI think that only one will suffice01:12
slickymasterfor that slide01:12
knomeshot?01:12
knomei was thinking at max two shots for the whole slideshow ;)01:13
slickymasterdon't you think we'll end up with a slideshow too heavy on text?01:14
knomeit doesn't need to be text, but no screenshots for every slide plz ;)01:15
jjfrv8you guys are having all the fun :)01:15
knomeheh01:16
slickymasterwe'll be pulling out hair in no time jjfrv8 01:16
slickymasterbut going back to the whisker one, do you think I can leave that text and move to another or do you think it can still be tweaked knome 01:17
slickymasterjjfrv8: http://pastebin.com/WbX66HkJ01:17
knomelet's leave it like that, we can improve after the beta01:17
slickymasterwhat do you think?01:17
knomemy goal is to have something new for the betas01:17
knomethen improve on that01:17
slickymasterhm hm01:18
knomebecause with the betas, and testing, lots of people NEED to look at those01:18
knomeand they will notice us if the slides are crappy :)01:18
jjfrv8should we be using US English spelling?01:20
jjfrv8or does this stuff get translated?01:20
knomejjfrv8, i guess pleia2 would argue on that :)01:20
slickymasteras for new slides there's still the help left to do, right?01:25
knomei've updated my branch01:26
knomeyeah, but that's pretty easy to lay down01:26
knomethen there's the desktop customization01:26
knomewhich we need to do with ochosi01:26
knomeoh, that reminds me01:26
slickymasterof...?01:26
knomegtk-theme-config.01:26
knomerelease notes01:27
slickymasterhasn't ochosi already wrote something about it in the pad?01:27
knomenope01:27
knomehe hasn't wrote much anything yet :)01:27
knomei'm the violet AND light blue :)01:28
knomenow i'm the light blue and light blue01:28
slickymasteroh thought that was ochosi 01:29
knomenah ;)01:29
knomei guess ochosi is the brownish one01:29
slickymasterI always get stuck with the :P01:30
knome"the :P"01:30
slickymasterthe pad is assuming I'm pleia2 01:30
knomehahah01:30
slickymasterpink 01:30
knomebut... was there other ideas for the slideshow atm?01:31
slickymasterwe began to diverge01:32
jjfrv8I'm just looking at it now. The previous version had a bunch of blank slides. This one looks better.01:32
knomebut that's best ;)01:32
knomejjfrv8, that's intentional. i just wanted it out :)01:32
knomewill eventually push it to the main branch with cleanup etc.01:32
slickymasterknome: do you want me to branch the whisker slide?01:33
knomeslickymaster, it's in my latest01:34
slickymasterhaven't pulled it yet01:34
knomebrb01:34
knomehmph, right01:43
knomeanything you might need from me now?01:43
knomeconsidering going to bed soonish01:44
slickymasternopes knome 01:44
slickymasterI'm also heading to the same place myself01:44

knomeyou can have the sofa01:44
jjfrv8lol01:44
slickymasternahhh01:44
knomejjfrv8, if you can improve the slideshow someway, that's welcome01:45
knomejjfrv8, or just the xfdesktop docs01:45
knomejjfrv8, or if you have ideas for the website stuff...01:45
jjfrv8I finished the latter (I hope)01:45
knomeanything really. we aren't in a big rush yet01:45

knomeor think if we still miss something01:47
knomei really don't know at this point01:47
knomeneed to see all the stuff pulled together before being able to say if it still needs something01:47
jjfrv8menulibre is still waiting for bluesabre's final release from last weekend, but it's mostly complete.01:48
knomeokay01:48
slickymasterthere's still the desktop slide to be rewriten01:48
knomethat needs the artwork01:48
slickymasteryeasps01:48
jjfrv8i'll have to read the backlog to digest all the brainstorming you guys did so I don't go where I shouldn't01:48
knomenot sure how i'll do it, but you proably should leave that to me01:49
knomebecause i'm pretty sure it will need some aligning01:49
slickymasterlol as you're at it jjfrv8, also read -off backlog01:49
knomeabout the artists? :P01:50

ochosiNoskcaj: i don't think it's a good idea to package that straight away08:47
ochosii'm sure eric will look at that as soon as he can08:48
ochosino need to rush a bugfix when the patch is only a workaround for a problem we don't understand yet08:48
Noskcajyeah, i was waiting for someone who understands it to confirm it. Just getting the preparation done08:48
ochosi(we can do that if it isn't fixed in the last minute)08:48
ochosiit's even possible that there'll be a .4 bugfix release in time, who knows08:48
ochosibut anyway, waiting for eric's feedback is a good start08:49
ochosishould be a lesson to test things before uploading...08:49
Noskcajyeah. I always want someone to have tested it, at least for patches08:50
ochosiyeah, but also for releases08:51
ochosii mean at least with this one there was no need to rush it as it was bugfix-only08:51
ochosiso we could've pushed it anytime08:51
ochosianyhoo, i think now the sponsors are taking a day or two of rest after FF08:52
ochosiseems very quiet over there08:52
Noskcajyeah, i've got a fair few things already, mostly ubuntu gnome08:54
NoskcajIs there much that xubuntu still needs done this cycle?08:55
ochosithere are a few things that are coming up before UI freeze08:56
ochosiwe might need another upload for xubuntu-artwork08:56
ochosiand another for shimmer-themes08:56
ochosias there were some fixes already, and some are still to-do08:56
ochosicould be that light-locker-settings will need a bugfix update, as it's a young application, so possible that people stubmle upon bugs08:57
Noskcajok. ping me if xubuntu-artwork get's another commit, it's still not uploaded08:57
Noskcaji should probably get off the computer now, bye08:58

ochosiit's on our roadmap for the next version, but if you wanna contribute a patch, feel free to20:17
