| mhall119 | ahoneybun_: ping | 13:43 |
|---|---|---|
| mhall119 | ahoneybun_: pong me when you're around, I have DVD artwork/examples for you | 15:52 |
| ahoneybun | hello | 17:06 |
| ahoneybun | pong mhall119 | 17:06 |
| mhall119 | ahoneybun_: try this link, see if it downloads a .zip https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/593daaf28e858d408453ca315288dda420150625113440/78136ef8ed702526ea9a14efeda98be920150625113440/774420 | 17:06 |
| ahoneybun | I thought I was CC'd | 17:06 |
| mhall119 | they're PDFs, so I don't know how easy/useful they will be, but it's what Canonical uses to print | 17:07 |
| ahoneybun | I see | 17:08 |
| ahoneybun | downloading now | 17:08 |
| mhall119 | ahoneybun_: if you need more than that, let me know | 17:08 |
| ahoneybun | thanks michael | 17:09 |
| mhall119 | ahoneybun_: I'm trying to get price estimates now, to see if we should just pre-print a whole bunch and give them out on request, or print them on a per-request basis | 17:10 |
| ahoneybun | awesomeness | 17:10 |
| ahoneybun | I would like to have some for akademy but I know with the timeslot left it might be a pipe dream | 17:11 |
| mhall119 | ahoneybun_: good point, I'll ask about lead-time on printing them too | 17:17 |
| ahoneybun | why no svgs... | 17:19 |
| ahoneybun | and sizes | 17:19 |
| ahoneybun | I'm trying to design around their red marks | 17:19 |
| mhall119 | ahoneybun_: I think as long as your proportions are correct and it's a high enough resolution, we'll be fine | 17:49 |
| mhall119 | the design team are mac-addicts, so I might be able to get you PSD files, but not SVG | 17:50 |
| ahoneybun | Mac's really? | 17:52 |
| ahoneybun | what th | 17:52 |
| ahoneybun | very similar to business cards then | 17:52 |
| mhall119 | ahoneybun_: yeah, they were trained on macs, had all their experience on macs, and they were hired to make designs not specifically to use FOSS tools | 17:56 |
| Nothing_Much | psd files? | 18:00 |
| ahoneybun | mhall119: I have a sample | 18:00 |
| Nothing_Much | agh, photoshop | 18:01 |
| ahoneybun | mhall119: http://imgur.com/QlrYf6D | 18:01 |
| Nothing_Much | ahoneybun, Every argument that I hear is that FOSS tools aren't up to par with proprietary tools like Adobe garbage | 18:03 |
| ahoneybun | Nothing_Much: I made that with GIMP so I beg to differ :) | 18:03 |
| mhall119 | Nothing_Much: I doubt that's true, it's more likely that the tools you are familiar with *feel* more capable than new ones | 18:03 |
| Nothing_Much | People hate change I guess, and since GIMP has a reputation of "not being as good as Photoshop"... too many crazies in software. | 18:04 |
| mhall119 | ahoneybun: looks good, do you need to get these designs approved by the rest of Kubuntu before we get them printed? | 18:04 |
| ahoneybun | I'm trying to get options | 18:04 |
| ahoneybun | opinion | 18:04 |
| Nothing_Much | Phoronix says that Kubuntu 15.10 might be the end of the line for Kubuntu or something.. | 18:05 |
| ahoneybun | riddell tells me that we can use the artwork from KDE Design team | 18:05 |
| ahoneybun | mhall119: might want to put a tag saying about the team that did the artwork | 18:06 |
| ahoneybun | Nothing_Much: link please | 18:06 |
| Nothing_Much | http://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Kubuntu-15.10-Worrying-State man hexchat's annoying | 18:06 |
| mhall119 | ahoneybun: it's up to you guys how close you want to be to KDE design and how much you want to use your own branding | 18:07 |
| ahoneybun | mhall119: I know but their artwork is amazing :_ | 18:07 |
| ahoneybun | :) | 18:07 |
| Nothing_Much | Anything that resembles the Ubuntu circle of friends icon is amazing | 18:08 |
| Nothing_Much | logo* | 18:08 |
| mhall119 | ahoneybun: I know, but if other distros are using it too, it might not be obvious at a glance (say, walking by a booth at a conference) that it's a Kubuntu DVD | 18:08 |
| ahoneybun | it has the Logo and wordmark on it | 18:08 |
| mhall119 | if nobody else is using it, and KDE is okay with Kubuntu using it (not sure how they feel about their trademarks used this way) | 18:08 |
| mhall119 | then it would be okay | 18:08 |
| ahoneybun | mhall119: I'll ask around | 18:09 |
| mhall119 | ahoneybun: sounds good, as long as KDE and Kubuntu are happy with it, so am I | 18:09 |
| ahoneybun | awesome, I'll grab some opinions and legal advise before hand | 18:09 |
| mhall119 | ahoneybun: also need to decide if you guys want DVDs for the latest release, or just the latest LTS | 18:10 |
| ahoneybun | well that design has the latest on it, and the artwork is from Plasma5 so | 18:10 |
| ahoneybun | let me talk to them first | 18:10 |
| mhall119 | for now you probably want the latest, since it has Plasma 5, but at 16.04 it might make sense to just print a lot more of those | 18:10 |
| ahoneybun | yea a LTS of course | 18:11 |
| ahoneybun | but we'll see once we get to 15.10 | 18:11 |
| mhall119 | yup | 18:11 |
| ahoneybun | mhall119: http://imgur.com/a/axpzW | 19:39 |
| mhall119 | ahoneybun: looks good, remember you can put something inside the sleeve too if you want (IIRC, the Ubuntu DVDs put the animal logo inside) | 19:44 |
| ahoneybun | yea but the vivid one is not the best | 19:45 |
| mhall119 | ahoneybun: you can always put a big Kubuntu logo inside | 19:45 |
| ahoneybun | right | 19:45 |
| ahoneybun | I've sent a email to the -devel ML about it and waiting for replys | 19:49 |
| ahoneybun | should have a decision by the end of the day mhall119 | 19:49 |
| mhall119 | ahoneybun: cool, it'll probably take me longer than that to get cost estimates | 19:49 |
| ahoneybun | of course | 19:50 |
| ahoneybun | but the design is the longest part | 19:50 |
| ahoneybun | btw this was all made in GIMP mhall119 :) | 19:50 |
| ahoneybun | http://imgur.com/a/axpzW | 19:50 |
| ahoneybun | new back | 19:50 |
| ahoneybun | mhall119: can I get the DVD label art as well? | 20:54 |
| mhall119 | ahoneybun: wasn't that in there? | 21:00 |
| ahoneybun | correct sorry | 21:01 |
| ahoneybun | mhall119: think it would be possiable to get a few (like 10) in another language? | 21:27 |
| mhall119 | ahoneybun: small runs will be more expensive, I don't think less than 100 of anything will be worth it | 21:41 |
| ahoneybun | maybe 150 english ones and we'll put the source files on the Kubuntu website for users in LoCo to easily translate | 21:42 |
| ahoneybun | or ask Canonical to make them later | 21:42 |
| mhall119 | ahoneybun: definitely put the source files online, that way people could even just print their own | 22:02 |
