[15:13] <sidi> Is there somewhere a version of the Launchpad logo that allows derivative works? https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/4646
[17:23] <rbasak> sidi: you can ask Canonical for permission here: http://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/contact-us
[17:24] <rbasak> I don't understand what Font Awesome really is or why they want to use logos of various projects (the last I heard about was the Docker one). But that's just me. It's not up to me.
[17:27] <dobey> rbasak: font awesome is the thing that web sites used to break usability by shoving icons for things into fonts, rather than loading images
[17:28] <dobey> aka, it's not at all awesome
[17:29] <rbasak> What's their reasoning?
[17:31] <dobey> "speed" or some such nonsense
[17:31] <dobey> there is no good reason for it. but twitter/github/etc… all do this
[17:32] <rbasak> Ah, so they're the reason some websites break because I have overridden some fonts?
[17:33] <rbasak> What happened to CSS image sprites?
[17:34] <dobey> yes
[19:56] <sidi> dobey, rbasak people prefer this approach because it's easier
[19:56] <sidi> png sprites dont look good if resized, and im not sure how easy it'd be to have a nice layer of abstraction above an svg sprite that can be resized, as well
[19:57] <sidi> rbasak, thanks for the contact link
[20:17] <cjwatson> That sounds like something that would be referring to Launchpad rather than to something else and thus my guess is that it would be OK, but I can't give permission for this; you would indeed have to contact Canonical legal.
[20:41] <rbasak> sidi: ah, that's a reason I hadn't thought of, thanks.
[21:14] <cr3> hi folks, why does the exception guidelines say to never catch a TypeError: https://dev.launchpad.net/ExceptionGuidelines
[21:17] <lifeless> because they are not issued as a matter of course
[21:17] <lifeless> so its better to fix the bug causing it to be raised
[21:18] <lifeless> cr3: ^
[21:20] <cr3> lifeless: darn common sense that's not so common. makes perfect sense, thanks for the explanation!
[21:32] <lifeless> cr3: :)
