| bluesabre | Unit193: thoughts? | 01:09 |
| Unit193 | Hi. | 01:10 |
| bluesabre | Howdy. | 01:10 |
| Unit193 | I'm fairly sure I'm not the best to ask. | 01:11 |
| bluesabre | :D | 01:11 |
| Unit193 | Perhaps it's good? | 01:11 |
| Unit193 | (I plan on upgrading to ayatana-indicator-sound.) | 01:13 |
| bluesabre | Alrighty | 01:13 |
| Unit193 | No offence meant. :3 | 01:14 |
| bluesabre | None taken. Just more work to do to convert you ;) | 01:15 |
| Unit193 | Based on the planned UI, I'm not too keen. The function of the play/pause/etc is a bit finicky still, ayatana looks a bit better, and I can't stand switches (which I gather others like, soo..) | 01:16 |
| Unit193 | I'm willing to test of course, mind. | 01:16 |
| subh | ochosi: Hi, thanks for replying. Sorry I fell asleep. I know a bit python, not so good with c++. But I am good at learning new stuffs. So can you tell me if I can work on anything with my current skillset or do I need to acquire anything new to be able to contribute to anything to start with? | 01:36 |
| Unit193 | bluesabre's applications tend to be python, Xfce is in C. | 01:36 |
| Unit193 | (ochosi is the artwork guy, bluesabre is head of dev, I'm all around noise maker.) | 01:36 |
| bluesabre | gtk-theme-config is in vala | 01:37 |
| bluesabre | We have a few different options available :) | 01:37 |
| bluesabre | subh: We usually recommend just starting by looking around at bug reports or digging into things that are broken and annoy you | 01:42 |
| bluesabre | The best way to get started is to be selfish :) | 01:42 |
| Unit193 | We should create a list of low hanging fruit. | 01:43 |
| subh | bluesabre: I understand. But it can still be a lot for somebody who's just starting. | 01:44 |
| subh | Had I asked you to give me something to start with, would you have anything in mind? | 01:44 |
| bluesabre | subh: maybe take a look at https://launchpad.net/sgt-launcher, it has a pretty simple code base and shows off some standard GTK+ python conventions | 01:45 |
| bluesabre | subh: otherwise, things that probably have some bugs in order of complexity ascending: lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings (https://launchpad.net/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings), mugshot (https://launchpad.net/mugshot), catfish (https://launchpad.net/catfish-search), and menulibre (https://launchpad.net/menulibre) | 01:47 |
| bluesabre | I wish I'd already identified some easy to tackle bugs, but if I did, they'd be tackled :) | 01:48 |
| subh | bluesabre: I understand your point :) I will go through those projects and try to pick up unresolved bugs. And I might ask you if I need any help. Thanks again. | 01:51 |
| bluesabre | Sure thing, thanks subh! | 01:52 |
| flocculant | bluesabre: mmm - my 'issue' though is that it just looks like it's hanging there without the icon | 06:03 |
| krytarik | With regards to the Custom Actions discussion earlier tonight, I should probably mention that we indeed have imagemagick on the images currently anyway, pulled in as a recommend of cups-filters. | 06:15 |
| ochosi | bluesabre: indeed, that feels better! | 07:24 |
| bluesabre | flocculant: it looks a bit better with greybird where the separator line is visible, https://i.imgur.com/ywkoKcx.png | 11:04 |
| bluesabre | (looks like ochosi still needs to make the 100% tick visible in greybird) | 11:14 |

| knome | that subh* guy needs to be around more ;) | 15:55 |
| knome | slickymaster, around? | 15:55 |
| knome | apparently not | 15:55 |
| knome | what is atril's menu item name? | 15:59 |
| knome | is it "Document Viewer" or not? | 15:59 |
| knome | flexiondotorg, ^ | 15:59 |
| knome | i guess i could also look it up but feeling lazy | 16:00 |
| bluesabre | knome: "Atril Document Viewer" it seems | 16:01 |
| knome | right | 16:01 |
| knome | cheerio | 16:01 |
| bluesabre | :) | 16:02 |
| bluesabre | flocculant: I added multimedia key support to pa-plug... currently in git | 16:03 |
| knome | https://code.launchpad.net/~knome/xubuntu-docs/bionic-mate-apps-migration | 16:11 |
| knome | a docs branch ready to be merged if/once we decide to do the migration for good | 16:12 |
| knome | pleia2, flyer is updated with the new logo... though the content is still the same :) | 16:19 |
| knome | we need to update at least the screenshot | 16:19 |
| knome | ochosi, what do you think if we actually moved onto one single plymouth background from 18.04? | 16:20 |
| knome | ochosi, eg. not a blurred version of the wallpaper, but something that was specifically "designed" for this? | 16:20 |
| knome | i guess everybody else as well ^ | 16:21 |

| knome | subh, hello, and welcome ;) | 16:48 |
| knome | subh, i've read you want to get involved with xubuntu before and just wanted to say hello before i leave... and say that feel free to ask any questions about anything related to xubuntu in this channel, regardless if people (you know) are around or not - we will eventually reply | 16:49 |
| knome | but now, off to do sth completely different | 16:49 |
| knome | o/ | 16:49 |
| pleia2 | knome: ok thanks, I'll have a look :) | 16:59 |
| subh | knome: Thanks! Will do. :) | 17:03 |
| === sorinello__ is now known as sorinello | ||
| flocculant | bluesabre: if I had multimedia keys on the kbd I would test it ... sorry this time ;) | 17:50 |
| flocculant | bluesabre: re plugin - I'm not seeing anything in that imgur screeny that stops it - in fact the same thing can be seen at the bottom where Audio mixer ... random white space at the left | 17:52 |
| pleia2 | knome: made some edits to the description to add some of my flyer ideas, it's time to add social media links! ;) | 17:54 |
| knome | pleia2, yeah... and do we really want to keep with the 3-fold? :) | 18:59 |
| pleia2 | yeah, it's a thing | 18:59 |
| knome | haha | 18:59 |
| knome | ok | 18:59 |
| knome | i suggest 6-fold then | 18:59 |
| knome | because it's obviously two times better! | 19:00 |
| pleia2 | trollol | 19:00 |
| knome | and it can fit the amount of content we can realistically maintain (: | 19:00 |
| pleia2 | what would you suggest instead? | 19:00 |
| knome | (that was as much pointed to myself than anybody else) | 19:00 |
| knome | well, maybe 2-fold | 19:00 |
| knome | it's also easier to do for most people | 19:00 |
| pleia2 | like a card? | 19:00 |
| knome | yeah, it could be like a card | 19:01 |
| knome | and with that thought, i think it could be smaller too | 19:01 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 19:01 |
| pleia2 | the current one has too many words | 19:01 |
| knome | like half of the current total paper space | 19:01 |
| * pleia2 nods | 19:01 | |
| knome | so A6 for the page size, meaning an A5 folded once | 19:02 |
| knome | eg. two flyers per paper | 19:02 |
| knome | we'll of course always have the "old" layout too, so we can still peruse that in case we have a special event or sth coming up | 19:02 |
| knome | there's quite a lot in the current flyer we can drop without too much pain | 19:03 |
| pleia2 | I'll have to look into what makes sense for professional printing | 19:03 |
| knome | like the "asides", the debian, xfce stuff | 19:03 |
| pleia2 | currently a 3-panel one is a thing places do, not sure about 1 per letter page | 19:03 |
| pleia2 | s/1/2 | 19:03 |
| knome | usually it's the standard sizes, so A5 is just as good as A4 for example | 19:03 |
| knome | right, professional printing meaning small print shops that print the stuff for you "live" | 19:04 |
| knome | yeah, but even if they only did one sheet, it's relatively easy to cut it into half | 19:04 |
| knome | so even if they don't offer that... | 19:04 |
| knome | i mean ultimately we could even look into a yet smaller one | 19:04 |
| pleia2 | yeah, but with vistaprint they even folded the 3 panel ones for me, that was spiffy :) | 19:04 |
| knome | yeah | 19:05 |
| knome | like a postcard-card | 19:05 |
| pleia2 | I think a post card size we're getting into different terratory, not much of a flyer anymore | 19:05 |
| knome | that's something completely different from a flyer, but it can serve the same purpose in a better way | 19:05 |
| knome | sure, but then again we can point people to our website more | 19:05 |
| knome | which is easier to maintain | 19:05 |
| knome | and then the printed stuff doesn't get outdated so fast | 19:06 |
| knome | but yes, i realize these are two different things | 19:06 |
| knome | which one would you rather pick up from a convention/event? | 19:06 |
| knome | a 3-fold US letter sized thing or a postcard? | 19:06 |
| pleia2 | idk :) | 19:07 |
| flexiondotorg | knome: Saw the earlier ping about Atril naming. | 19:07 |
| knome | the postcard could even be designed as a postcard... like the address field etc. ready | 19:07 |
| pleia2 | that would be cute | 19:07 |
| knome | flexiondotorg, we figured it out, it's "Atril Document Viewer", right? | 19:07 |
| knome | yep | 19:07 |
| flexiondotorg | There is a simple way for me to address this for Xubuntu. | 19:07 |
| knome | flexiondotorg, the question was simply for our documentation purposes | 19:07 |
| flexiondotorg | If you want to drop the Atril prefix. | 19:07 |
| knome | nah, it's fine :) | 19:07 |
| flexiondotorg | OK | 19:07 |
| knome | pleia2, so then a nice image on the "front" and some preprinted text on the back of the card | 19:08 |
| knome | plus probably some space for a customized message (or even autograph :P) | 19:08 |
| knome | and then the usual postcard stuff | 19:08 |
| knome | i can draft this relatively quickly if we want to investigate it | 19:09 |
| knome | "The only ISO 216 size in the post card range is A6." | 19:10 |
| knome | which is not a problem, but actually a good thing, because one size only, right? :P | 19:10 |
| pleia2 | maybe something to explore separate from the flyer :) | 19:10 |
| knome | sure | 19:10 |
| knome | i would still propose to migrate away from the 3-fold | 19:10 |
| pleia2 | yeah it should be fine, probably want postcards printed on cardstock so printing at home is less likely | 19:10 |
| knome | but if you want to keep that... i'll live with it | 19:10 |
| knome | yep | 19:11 |
| knome | hmm, well, it seems vistaprint for example doesn't want A6, but tbh, it's easy enough to do one design and then just cut the borders from the smaller one | 19:12 |
| pleia2 | yeah | 19:12 |
| knome | or even do two very similar designs | 19:13 |
| pleia2 | so the only reason I'd stick with the 3-panel is because we've already figured out sizing and stuff, we can just put in more pictures if we want it to be less tl;dr | 19:13 |
| knome | lol | 19:13 |
| knome | wfm | 19:13 |
| knome | and yes, we probably want to do that | 19:13 |
| knome | want a pad in which to figure out the text? | 19:13 |
| pleia2 | sure | 19:14 |
| knome | will put the text in here: http://pad.ubuntu.com/xubuntu-1804-flyer | 19:14 |
