[03:17] <valorie> +1 from me on the extension as well, @RickTimmis
[03:18] <IrcsomeBot> <tsimonq2> We also need to start thinking about renewing Scarlett
[03:43] <valorie> I'd like to hear from our treasurer; if we have the $$$, +1
[05:00] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> I have sent an extension proposal to the KC ML, needs a seconder, and a vote.
[05:01] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> I will proceed wth the contest extension, and announce that on the website.
[05:31] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> Contest Extended: https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-brand-graphic-design-contest-deadline-extended/
[06:41] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> KC - Here is a short presentation of the designs submitted so far.

[06:42] <valorie> @Rick_Timmis your website link still doesn't work, LOL
[06:44] <valorie> the one labeled Graphic Design looks like it was made by Bing Image Creator (AI)
[06:44] <valorie> I use it occasionally to generate images for our genealogy blog
[06:44] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> I know, I'm still juggling between Work, Kubuntu, Motorhome Club - I am migrating from AWS to Hetzner with the Motorhome Clubs infrastucture, and ricktimmis.com is part of that stack. I hope it'll be online soon
[06:44] <valorie> I guess we didn't make using AI against the rules....
[06:45] <valorie> I sympathize
[06:45] <valorie> my todo list keeps getting longer instead of shorter!
[06:46] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> No, and I think AI is something we have to embrace. I have been using it with my Dev/Eng team on a daily basis, for Code development. I am lso quietly working in the background on a Secret Squirell project for Kubuntu called 'Klara'
[06:46] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> Trouble is I am a starter, but not much of a finisher
[06:46] <valorie> I'm the opposite -- a completionist
[06:47] <valorie> drives me nuts if I don't follow all my rules whilst doing my genealogy, at least
[06:47] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> Maybe I need you as my Mentor/Coach help me finish something, anything
[06:47] <valorie> and I keep making myself more rules
[06:48] <valorie> lol
[06:48] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> Ahhh you're trying to get a Complete set of rules
[06:48] <valorie> well, the pros have all those Rules ingrained
[06:49] <valorie> I'd like to do pro-level work, while working for myself
[06:50] <valorie> IMO that's what makes Free Software so good -- all those perfectionists
[06:50] <valorie> and when it's crap -- those who don't both writing tests, etc.
[06:50] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> Which is why ricktimmis.com is still offline!! Arghhhh!
[06:50] <valorie> lol
[06:51] <valorie> while I was still active in GSoC, I ran across a writer who said that the tests should be written *first*
[06:51] <valorie> and I use that principle now -- I write my citations first
[06:52] <valorie> much more efficient
[06:52] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> I am not quite that much a Test driven purist. I'm OK with Tests then Code or Code then Tests, and I think it's OK to mix those up, as this can help solve the problem domain
[06:53] <valorie> it's amazing how the same principles travel across domains like that
[06:53] <valorie> most of my work is not well documented because I used to abhor writing citations
[06:54] <valorie> backfilling is fine as long as it gets done before publishing
[06:59] <valorie> midnight, so I guess I should go brush my teeth and go to bed!
[07:00] <valorie> {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} to you Rick
[07:00] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> Thanks Valorie {{{{hugs}}}}} goodnight, sleep well 🥰
[07:22] <IrcsomeBot> <Rick_Timmis> Hello KC, and here is the link for the Wallpaper Contest. We can judge that on Sunday too.
