[13:43] ahoneybun_: ping [15:52] ahoneybun_: pong me when you're around, I have DVD artwork/examples for you [17:06] hello [17:06] pong mhall119 [17:06] ahoneybun_: try this link, see if it downloads a .zip https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/593daaf28e858d408453ca315288dda420150625113440/78136ef8ed702526ea9a14efeda98be920150625113440/774420 [17:06] I thought I was CC'd [17:07] they're PDFs, so I don't know how easy/useful they will be, but it's what Canonical uses to print [17:08] I see [17:08] downloading now [17:08] ahoneybun_: if you need more than that, let me know [17:09] thanks michael [17:10] 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] awesomeness [17:11] I would like to have some for akademy but I know with the timeslot left it might be a pipe dream [17:17] ahoneybun_: good point, I'll ask about lead-time on printing them too [17:19] why no svgs... [17:19] and sizes [17:19] I'm trying to design around their red marks [17:49] ahoneybun_: I think as long as your proportions are correct and it's a high enough resolution, we'll be fine [17:50] the design team are mac-addicts, so I might be able to get you PSD files, but not SVG [17:52] Mac's really? [17:52] what th [17:52] very similar to business cards then [17:56] 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 [18:00] psd files? [18:00] mhall119: I have a sample [18:01] agh, photoshop [18:01] mhall119: http://imgur.com/QlrYf6D [18:03] ahoneybun, Every argument that I hear is that FOSS tools aren't up to par with proprietary tools like Adobe garbage [18:03] Nothing_Much: I made that with GIMP so I beg to differ :) [18:03] Nothing_Much: I doubt that's true, it's more likely that the tools you are familiar with *feel* more capable than new ones [18:04] 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] ahoneybun: looks good, do you need to get these designs approved by the rest of Kubuntu before we get them printed? [18:04] I'm trying to get options [18:04] opinion [18:05] Phoronix says that Kubuntu 15.10 might be the end of the line for Kubuntu or something.. [18:05] riddell tells me that we can use the artwork from KDE Design team [18:06] mhall119: might want to put a tag saying about the team that did the artwork [18:06] Nothing_Much: link please [18:06] http://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Kubuntu-15.10-Worrying-State man hexchat's annoying [18:07] 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] mhall119: I know but their artwork is amazing :_ [18:07] :) [18:08] Anything that resembles the Ubuntu circle of friends icon is amazing [18:08] logo* [18:08] 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] it has the Logo and wordmark on it [18:08] 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] then it would be okay [18:09] mhall119: I'll ask around [18:09] ahoneybun: sounds good, as long as KDE and Kubuntu are happy with it, so am I [18:09] awesome, I'll grab some opinions and legal advise before hand [18:10] ahoneybun: also need to decide if you guys want DVDs for the latest release, or just the latest LTS [18:10] well that design has the latest on it, and the artwork is from Plasma5 so [18:10] let me talk to them first [18:10] 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 [18:11] yea a LTS of course [18:11] but we'll see once we get to 15.10 [18:11] yup [19:39] mhall119: http://imgur.com/a/axpzW [19:44] ahoneybun: looks good, remember you can put something inside the sleeve too if you want (IIRC, the Ubuntu DVDs put the animal logo inside) [19:45] yea but the vivid one is not the best [19:45] ahoneybun: you can always put a big Kubuntu logo inside [19:45] right [19:49] I've sent a email to the -devel ML about it and waiting for replys [19:49] should have a decision by the end of the day mhall119 [19:49] ahoneybun: cool, it'll probably take me longer than that to get cost estimates [19:50] of course [19:50] but the design is the longest part [19:50] btw this was all made in GIMP mhall119 :) [19:50] http://imgur.com/a/axpzW [19:50] new back [20:54] mhall119: can I get the DVD label art as well? [21:00] ahoneybun: wasn't that in there? [21:01] correct sorry [21:27] mhall119: think it would be possiable to get a few (like 10) in another language? [21:41] ahoneybun: small runs will be more expensive, I don't think less than 100 of anything will be worth it [21:42] maybe 150 english ones and we'll put the source files on the Kubuntu website for users in LoCo to easily translate [21:42] or ask Canonical to make them later [22:02] ahoneybun: definitely put the source files online, that way people could even just print their own
