[00:44] <c_smith> soooo I  honestly forget, but was there a Ubuntu Gnome development channel, like #ubuntu+1 for Ubuntu with Unity?
[02:10] <jbicha> c_smith: you found it!
[02:10] <c_smith> jbicha: cool
[02:11] <c_smith> so I have a question about the development version, then: is gnome 3.24 planned to be part of it or at least available in gnome3-staging or similar?
[02:12] <jbicha> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZestyZapus/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuGNOME#Highlights
[02:13] <jbicha> (yes, 17.04 will have GNOME 3.24)
[02:13] <c_smith> man, that's the page I've been looking for all afternoon!
[02:13] <c_smith> my google-fu skills failed me!
[02:13] <c_smith> XD
[02:14] <c_smith> tbh I was gonna install Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 shortly either way, but what I was gonna do with the release version depended on what version of gnome was being targeted.
[02:14] <jbicha> now you can answer the guy who's been asking on the mailing list ;)
[02:14] <c_smith> jbicha: that was me. XD
[02:15] <c_smith> did that email send more than once?
[02:15] <c_smith> cause if it did, I need to see what caused that...
[02:15] <jbicha> no, just one, I was kidding :)
[02:15] <c_smith> ah, alright
[02:15] <c_smith> had me worried that Google was doing yet another shady thing. XD
[02:15] <jbicha> it's possible someone reading the list has the same question you did though so answering might still be helpful
[02:15] <c_smith> will do.
[02:18] <c_smith> sent a short email with the answer.
[02:18] <c_smith> now we have something to reference for similar questions. :D

[09:39] <InventorTechie> hullo
[16:40] <jaes> holà !
[16:41] <jaes> does anyone now the gnome's version for ubuntu-gnome 17.04 ?
[16:41] <jaes> or when the 3.24 will make it to the distrib ?
[18:11] <jbicha> jaes: hi, 17.04 will use 3.24: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZestyZapus/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuGNOME
[18:31] <jaes> jbicha: thanks !
[18:32] <jaes> is there a mailing list (or better a good ol' rss feed) i could suscribe to to have this kind of update ?
[19:12] <jbicha> there is a list but it doesn't really announce things like that exactly
[19:12] <jbicha> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gnome
[19:14] <jbicha> not an rss feed, but each packages has a page like https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell
[19:32] <jbicha> Ubuntu news sites also report about the Ubuntu GNOME beta's
[19:32] <jaes> thanks, I'll look into that
[19:33] <jaes> and maybe with a filter on my rss reader, it'll do the trick
[19:59] <InventorTechie> Hello
[20:36] <InventorTechie> Is everyone offline, or am I just missing messages somehow?
[20:36] <InventorTechie> Sent out an email to the Ubuntu Gnome mailing list just now. Not sure all who is attached to it ;-)
[20:40] <jbicha> InventorTechie: hi
[20:41] <jbicha> there is a redesign of ubuntugnome.org in progress, I expect one of the people working on it will reply to your email
[20:42] <InventorTechie> Excellent. Curious to know how far along that is. If it's just a mockup or being implemented yet. Either way, I can help out.
[20:42] <jbicha> historically, Ubuntu GNOME hasn't had much UI work itself, leaving most of that to be done in upstream projects like GNOME itself
[20:42] <jbicha> there was a proposal earlier to have a custom gtk or icon theme (that's a lot of work!) but that hasn't happened yet
[20:42] <InventorTechie> Understood. Has there been any discussions about Ubuntu-Gnome specific applications that could be created, or any need for it?
[20:44] <InventorTechie> Heck ya, icons would be a lot of work, no doubt about it. Might be able to partner up with some other theme developers who have a nice icon set that they could contribute. Always a potential route, saving the need to create everything from scratch. I've come across some nice options out there.
[20:46] <jbicha> I don't know of any need for Ubuntu GNOME specific apps, generally apps are useful for other distros too
[20:46] <jbicha> but if you think of something, you're welcome to propose it
[20:46] <InventorTechie> Has anyone ever paid any attention to this project -> http://papyros.io/ , I believe it's dead, or at least hasn't had any updates in over a year but I found it to be quite interesting.
[20:49] <InventorTechie> It's a material design aim, on top of Arch. The thought crossed my mind, about maybe contributing, but I can't seem to get ahold of anyone from there. Anyway, it's a nice concept. Google Material design is quite sophisticated, and when you consider the fact that 86% of the worlds phones/tablets are running Android, they've created an edge that can be built
[20:49] <InventorTechie> off of for other systems who follow. Provides shorter learning curves for new users who have familiarity with the material design UX on their other devices.
[20:49] <InventorTechie> Food 4 thought.
[20:50] <InventorTechie> Not sure if it's applicable, but a Custom Ubuntu Gnome theme, might serve well ;-)
[20:51] <InventorTechie> I won't expand too much on that already, but, there are a lot of pre-existing resources and assets that fall in line with material design, so to your earlier point, it would save from having to create an icon set fully from scratch.
