| knome | bluesabre, any news on the wallpaper contest webapp? | 00:15 |
| bluesabre | knome: hoping to make more progress tonight.. I wanted to get it done over the weekend but ended up being sick the whole weekend | 00:17 |
| knome | excuses, excuses... ;) | 00:17 |
| bluesabre | yup, I've got plenty of them | 00:18 |
| === link is now known as Guest98320 | ||
| flocculant | knome: any news on the wallpaper contest mail :p | 06:27 |
| * flocculant shrugs | 06:27 | |
| === Guest98320 is now known as mexchip | ||
| bluesabre | flocculant: he may be waiting for my app to get done | 11:07 |
| * bluesabre shrugs again | 11:07 | |
| Unit193 | bluesabre: When you jumping to Xenial, anywho? | 11:08 |
| bluesabre | Unit193: I usually don't jump to the dev release for a while. If things happen to break badly, can't accomplish anything | 11:09 |
| bluesabre | I run the most recent release until beta with a vm of the dev release | 11:10 |
| Unit193 | Ah, so I'll end up jumping before you. :/ | 11:11 |
| bluesabre | probably | 11:11 |
| flocculant | fortune favours the bold :) | 11:13 |
| flocculant | bluesabre: and not sure why waiting for an app - if no-one bothers volunteering then any need for it :D | 11:13 |
| flocculant | or is that hopefully fortune favours the foolhardy :p | 11:14 |
| slickymasterWork | flocculant, are you accepting encryption tests on virtual machines? | 11:19 |
| flocculant | no - we can't do anything yet | 11:19 |
| flocculant | I just thought I'd ask for some sort of team view on it | 11:20 |
| slickymasterWork | oki doke | 11:20 |
| knome | flocculant, i'm trying to figure out what bluesabre's app can do - that defines what kind of volunteers we need | 11:25 |
| flocculant | right | 11:25 |
| knome | so it's kind of "blocked" now | 11:25 |
| knome | i can ask for volunteers now, but i won't have any substance for them... | 11:26 |
| knome | i mean, it's totally possible that the app does most of the work | 11:26 |
| knome | and it probably should | 11:26 |
| flocculant | well no | 11:26 |
| knome | well yes ;) | 11:26 |
| knome | like check the license - done by asking the person what the license is | 11:26 |
| flocculant | because if there are no volunteers then it's just been a waste of time | 11:27 |
| flocculant | so no ;) | 11:27 |
| knome | right... no to that | 11:27 |
| knome | i guess so | 11:27 |
| knome | i'll look into that later today then | 11:27 |
| knome | but i'll likely need to look at it again then :P | 11:27 |
| flocculant | I just wonder if finding out if there's any actual volunteers informs the rest of it - given last time | 11:28 |
| flocculant | that's all I mean | 11:28 |
| knome | well if the app does what i imagine it does | 11:28 |
| knome | there is very little need for volunteers after all | 11:28 |
| flocculant | personally I don't have a horse in the race as any wallpaper isn't likely to be something I would use | 11:28 |
| knome | so little that in the worst case scenario, i'll just sign up for all that | 11:28 |
| knome | but of course i'd like to get other people involved | 11:29 |
| knome | even sharing a tiny bit of work | 11:29 |
| knome | because potential future contributions | 11:29 |
| flocculant | knome: so at the end of the day if people aren't putting things forward - then ... | 11:29 |
| knome | then we'll just do it with the team | 11:29 |
| flocculant | which isn't what the plan was ;) | 11:30 |
| knome | i don't remember the nick from the top of my head, but somebody here said they could help | 11:30 |
| flocculant | yea - someone was in here talking about it | 11:30 |
| knome | no, but my plan is always to get N new contributors contributing to xubuntu every cycle, but still i/we end up releasing it and doing all the work even if we don't meet that target | 11:30 |
| knome | so i don't consider this as an "contribute or it won't happen" kind of situation | 11:31 |
| * flocculant shrugs now :p | 11:32 | |
| knome | it's more like a "contribute and we can make it happen, if you don't, then we can't guarantee anything" | 11:32 |
| flocculant | my cycle artwork interest quota is almost used up - just need to find an elliptical circle :) | 11:33 |
| knome | sorry, i've lost some of my faith in people contributing and will automatically always think how much of the work i could do myself :P | 11:33 |
| flocculant | funnily enough ... | 11:33 |
| knome | yeah, i know, i end up doing a lot myself | 11:33 |
| knome | but that's ok, at least i know it in advance | 11:34 |
| knome | and if somebody else does X, that just means more time to work on other things | 11:34 |
| * knome shrugs | 11:34 | |
| knome | fwiw, pjotter has promised to look at drawing a xerus for us | 11:34 |
| knome | so that's one potential new contributor | 11:34 |
| knome | and to artwork too | 11:34 |
| flocculant | nice :) | 11:37 |
| bluesabre | hey knome | 11:38 |
| flocculant | akxwi has been a breath of fresh air for me for sure | 11:38 |
| bluesabre | what all would you like the app to do? We take relevant information during the submission process, and contact them using lp if something is incorrect | 11:39 |
| bluesabre | grabbing author, license, url | 11:39 |
| bluesabre | voting wouldn't come until quite a bit later, but it will compare every wp to each other and the one with the most +1s across all voters wins | 11:40 |
| bluesabre | er, the ones with the most +1s | 11:40 |
| bluesabre | :D | 11:40 |
| flocculant | heh | 11:40 |
| bluesabre | its a pretty basic app... handles submission/uploads, view existing, request info, and vote | 11:42 |
| bluesabre | lp login will probably be the hardest part | 11:42 |
| bluesabre | :D | 11:42 |
| bluesabre | also planning to handle embedding the metadata, looked a bit into that, seems reasonable | 11:45 |
| bluesabre | so what else would be good to have? | 11:45 |
| knome | bluesabre, basically just asking about the license means the license is ok, because they have agreed to the terms | 11:47 |
| knome | bluesabre, but of course we will ask the winners if they intended that license | 11:47 |
| bluesabre | yup | 11:48 |
| bluesabre | and if they provide the url, we can potentially validate it ourselves | 11:48 |
| knome | i would just go with radiobuttons | 11:48 |
| knome | (x) CC-BY (or whatever license we would like | 11:49 |
| knome | ( ) Something else, what ____ | 11:49 |
| bluesabre | k | 11:49 |
| knome | if they don't mention something else, we can consider it validated | 11:49 |
| knome | pleia2 also said it's fine to pre-select CC | 11:49 |
| knome | as long as people are clearly given the choice | 11:50 |
| knome | or we can select none by default | 11:50 |
| knome | and make the user select one | 11:50 |
| bluesabre | I have most of the framework, just a matter of setting up the views... so a matter of having time in front of my computer to finish cranking it out | 11:50 |
| bluesabre | yup | 11:50 |
| knome | we can do it with some short descriptions too | 11:50 |
| flocculant | wouldn't select none by default and insist on a choice be sensible? | 11:51 |
| knome | "By selecting this, you give us (and everybody else) this, this and this permission..." | 11:51 |
| flocculant | s/sensible/logical | 11:51 |
| bluesabre | yeah, can just make a non-none required to submit | 11:52 |
| knome | i don't think that's legally required, and i'm not a lawyer | 11:52 |
| bluesabre | or | 11:52 |
| bluesabre | -select one- OR enter blah | 11:52 |
| knome | bluesabre, let me draw you a very quick draft | 11:52 |
| bluesabre | alrighty | 11:52 |
| knome | oh shoo | 11:52 |
| knome | got to go | 11:53 |
| knome | bbiab | 11:53 |
| knome | will send the draft then | 11:53 |
| bluesabre | k | 11:54 |
| knome | bluesabre, http://temp.knome.fi/xubuntu/wallpaper-contest/licence-draft.png | 12:54 |
| knome | consider all texts as placeholders | 12:55 |
| knome | bluesabre, and here's a html/css imagination: http://temp.knome.fi/temp/xubuntu/wallpaper-contest/html-draft/ | 13:30 |
| knome | bluesabre, bit more there now :P | 13:40 |
| flocculant | just in case anyone happens to boot with the daily - plymouth issue in vbox only it seems, got text till desktop - probably following all the plymouth updates in the last couple of days, didrocks is aware and will keep me posted | 16:33 |
| slickymasterWork | got that today flocculant | 16:34 |
| flocculant | yep - I guessed you might have :) | 16:34 |
| slickymasterWork | :) | 16:35 |
| flocculant | I knew there were changes - but waited for a new image to look | 16:36 |
| flocculant | don't see it in qemu apparently, don't see it on hardware for sure (or at least my h/w) | 16:36 |
| Unit193 | Poked slang. | 22:22 |
| Unit193 | 17:13 #ubuntu-devel: < slangasek> Unit193: I have not, sorry; it's in my queue to look at still | 22:22 |
| bluesabre | knome: thanks | 23:18 |
| knome | np | 23:19 |
| knome | tell me if you need more help with the html side | 23:19 |
| knome | /css | 23:19 |
| bluesabre | knome: should be good for now, I'll poke you when I have to code somewhere for you to blow up | 23:21 |
| knome | haha, good good | 23:22 |
| knome | i was thinking some fancy artwork for the checkbox/radiobuttons | 23:22 |
| knome | like show a big square, but when checked, lay a big X or V on it | 23:22 |
| knome | that's really just for the flash though :D | 23:23 |
| bluesabre | :D | 23:24 |
| knome | shouldn't be too hard though | 23:25 |
| knome | just make the real checkbox/radiobutton hidden and overlay artwork with js | 23:25 |
| bluesabre | I'll or some fancy cssing | 23:25 |
| bluesabre | -I'll | 23:25 |
| bluesabre | :D | 23:25 |
| knome | hmmright, css3 might support :checked | 23:26 |
| knome | or sth | 23:27 |
| knome | aha! | 23:28 |
| * knome pokey | 23:28 | |
| bluesabre | :D | 23:28 |
