Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot. 19:00:16 Useful Commands: #action #agreed #halp #info #idea #link #topic. 19:00:21 wow, that was fast 19:00:22 #topic roll call! 19:01:02 * tatica o/* 19:01:03 o/ 19:01:16 o/ 19:01:57 o/ 19:02:17 hey elad661 we are doing roll call now 19:02:20 (meeting just started) 19:02:26 yay! I didn't late 19:02:35 o/ 19:02:46 is it okay if we start with the strategery topic? it was sent to the list after the agenda 19:02:49 what do you think tatica 19:02:57 sure 19:02:57 pls 19:03:02 #topic strategery 19:03:06 wallpaper will take only like 10min 19:03:10 did anybody get a chance to read the 'strategery' email? :) 19:03:27 #link http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2011-June/004563.html 19:03:29 * finalzone is reading it 19:03:42 a quick summary is - 19:03:49 I read it. 19:03:54 yes 19:04:21 #1 we're proposing to only do a new wallpaper / media sleeves / website banners every release, and have standard artwork for the rest of the splashes in fedora itself 19:04:34 this way we can focus more time on developing the wallpaper and have less to worry about 19:04:34 +1 19:04:39 +1 19:04:49 #2 we're proposing to step up a bit more in support of other teams, especially ambassadors / marketing 19:05:05 * kirkB would like to see at least a revisit of the standard artwork form time to time 19:05:16 #3 we're proposing to really step up (and we've already started) in UX design on top of the artwork / visual design we've traditionally done 19:05:25 kirkB, absolutely! just not every release :) 19:05:33 kirkB: most of our artwork comes from the upstream of the desktop you're using 19:05:35 it should be neutral so that it won't clash with the wallpaper i think 19:05:49 we are the upstream for anaconda and firstboot's artwork though 19:05:54 yep 19:05:55 the idea is to give priority to some items 19:06:13 i think the grub & syslinux artwork from upstream are not ideal so that's a responsibility too 19:06:26 * finalzone also thinks plymouth needs more love too 19:06:27 * elad661 didn't see any anaconda "ransom notes" submissions yet 19:06:28 so this neutral artwork would be the anaconda / firstboot / syslinux / grub artwork 19:06:41 I like the idea, just don't want to lose any "freshness" over time in the standard artwork, hence the periodic revisiting. I'm good with the proposal though. 19:06:43 finalzone, well we'd keep plymouth the same, plymouth is already a theme-neutral design 19:07:04 mizmo: I'd say, we need to implement https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/UX_Redesign/Syslinux for both grub and syslinux 19:07:08 meeting? 19:07:10 elad661, agreed 19:07:14 twohot: yep 19:07:22 actually im not sure why that didn't get implemented for F15 ;-) i think i need to talk to pjones about that 19:07:31 okay so the other big piece of the proposal is our structure 19:07:37 o/ 19:07:40 since we've grown a bit, i think we need mor ethan just one team lead 19:07:57 so the structure tatica and i have proposed is 19:08:15 #1 each release, someone steps up to be the default wallpaper wrangler (this release it's tatica) 19:08:26 #2 each release, someone steps up to be the supplemental wallpaper wrangler (this release is pcon) 19:09:01 these are pretty busy jobs, but since we change every release, it's not a huge ongoing commitment. if you know for the next 6 months you'll probably have the time, you can sign up, and then when the next release comes around and you're busy, you pass the torch to someone else 19:09:17 #3 we'll have a UX wrangler to help manage the UX design projects (i'm doing that now) 19:10:16 #4 we'll have folks step up to help us interface with different teams in Fedora. it looks like vinz and Buddhika have volunteered to help us work with Ambassadors and other folks managing Fedora events 19:10:39 I can help with websites :) 19:10:46 yay!! awesome :) 19:10:49 also Oyeinbo 19:10:56 #info elad661 will be the websites liasion 19:10:58 *Onyeibo 19:11:19 mizmo, your email suggested you wanted to stay lead for UX - are you asking for help with that too? 19:11:32 that remindes me 19:11:47 kirkB: Please move all your ABRT work to our fedora-ux git repo :) 19:12:06 twohot, do you want to join Buddhika and vinz on the ambassadors / events management? 19:12:18 elad661, is that the sparkleshare thingy? 19:12:23 kirkB, sure could always use help :) 19:12:23 yes 19:12:40 kirkB: but I don't use sparkleshare, I use git directly 19:12:50 same thing, just without the fancy UI 19:12:51 kirkB, one thing i need help with on the UX side is monitoring tickets 19:12:54 EMEA, mizmo .... did a bit of it already 19:12:55 elad661, will try setting that up asap 19:12:59 thanks 19:13:04 twohot, cool ill add you to that team then 19:13:07 mizmo, I'm happy to help however I can 19:13:21 #info Vinz, Buddhika, and twohot are the events & ambassadors liasons 19:13:32 * tatica has some FUDcon EMEA work done, those interested pls join me at this friday meeting 19:13:41 #info mizmo & kirkB are the UX action group members 19:14:01 tatica: any artwork for FUDcon? let me know 19:14:22 mizmo: please add kirkB to the fedora-ux git group 19:14:28 yes, almost everything is done right now 19:14:28 sure one sec 19:14:30 tatica, when is the meeting friday? 19:14:32 :) 19:14:41 we only need some info from the EMEA guys to fill some artwork 19:15:00 tatica, url pls 19:15:01 friday at 15 UTC 19:15:01 mizmo: if this ticket thing is just moving stuff around and reporting, i can do 19:15:11 twohot, that's one of the biggest problems 19:15:14 gimme a know how idea of it and i dont mind:D 19:15:23 * tatica suggest to continue the meeting and talk about fudcon emea at friday :$ 19:15:24 elad661, kirkB - kirkB's in the fedora-ux git group now 19:15:32 awesome 19:15:50 ixxvil, for tickets, we need someone to go through the ticket queue for really old tickets (say 6 months older or more) and see what's going on 19:15:59 mizmo: and just report? 19:16:00 i can 19:16:01 for example, if we did a design and the person who asked for it didn't respond 19:16:24 we gotta email them and say, 'hey you opened this ticket. we did this for you. you didn't give us any feedback, do you still want it or should we close the ticket?' 19:16:34 ok i can do that 19:16:40 if someone asked for a design, and a designer signed up for the ticket, but months gone by and they didn't post anything 19:16:52 brb 19:16:56 then you gotta email the designer and ask them, 'hey do you still want this ticket? or should i give it to somebody else?' 19:17:03 sweet 19:17:05 and if that's the case, then open up the ticket for someone else to take 19:17:09 ill hvae to write up a tutorial 19:17:14 do you know where the ticket queue is? 19:17:17 nope 19:17:48 ixxvil, https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/report/1 19:17:57 you should be able to login using your fedora account there 19:18:03 if you don't log in then you can't modify the tickets 19:18:07 ok 19:18:15 the task, btw, is called 'triaging' so you'll be our new ticket triager. sound good? 19:18:44 yep 19:19:04 :d hurra! 19:19:06 tere's like two tickets on top that are older than 6 months and assigned to none, what would we do there? 19:19:08 cool 19:19:27 ixxvil, for those tickets, what i would suggest is email the design team list and see if anybody is interested in taking them 19:19:33 ah ok 19:19:39 since the ticket isn't waiting on the reporter or the designer, it needs a designer 19:19:48 these are good questions btw ixxvil they will help me write the tutorial 19:19:48 okay 19:19:52 so the last part about our proposal 19:19:56 it seems like everyone likes it (yay!) 19:20:09 i've started putting together tutorials on how to do these new roles 19:20:22 so that it's easier for anybody volunteering to understand what they should do and how they can help 19:20:31 he list so far is here https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design#Design_Team_Duties 19:20:42 notice i just added a 'coming soon' item for triager :) 19:20:48 #info ixxvil will be ticket triager 19:20:53 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design#Design_Team_Duties 19:21:00 so if you are trying to do something 19:21:04 and you're not sure what you should be doing 19:21:09 ask in here, or ask on the list 19:21:13 and we'll make a new tutorial for it 19:21:20 okay 19:21:26 anybody have any questions / concerns about the proposal?

19:36:01 will ananconda support somekind of geo-tracking? 19:36:21 finalzone: for finding the user timezone? 19:36:29 We are still trying to figure that out 19:36:33 * twohot thinks secret ninja handshakes is good 19:36:35 yeah 19:36:38 finalzone, yeh thats still a question 19:36:46 #info still need to figure out location / geo-tracking story 19:36:51 right now we're piggy-backing off the way GNOME does it 19:36:55 in the mockkups 19:37:00 maybe we could use the maxmind geoip database 19:37:06 to find where the user is 19:37:12 and give him the matching timezone 19:37:16 #info maybe we could use the maxmind geoip database 19:37:34 okay any other anaconda questions / concerns? 19:38:00 but it's a bit problematic for edge-cases such as these cities in the US that has different timezones without explanation 19:38:47 next topic, I think 19:38:50 kk 19:38:56 it looks like tatica is still gone 19:39:01 our next topic was the wallpaper coloring 19:39:05 #topic Fedora 16 wallpaper coloring 19:39:08 so the current status 19:39:14 #info deadline for coloring is July 5th 19:39:17 we have a week o_O 19:39:23 there's three contenders for default wallpaper 19:39:26 ouch 19:39:27 we have the floating island / castle 19:39:36 tatica has been working on coloring that, she posted her status to the team mailing list this morning 19:39:43 another is the nautilus with icebergs 19:39:46 i've been working on that, 19:39:48 this awesome thing: http://publictest04.fedoraproject.org/artboard/post/view/54 19:40:02 http://publictest04.fedoraproject.org/artboard/post/view/54 19:40:09 ixxvil, you still around? 19:40:16 yep 19:40:44 mizmo: as I mentioned earlier, I think the submarine should be smaller and less detailed, kinda blurry 19:40:55 so it would look like it's far from the viewer 19:41:20 ixxvil, if you have ideas for a more detailed sub shape i think it might be cool 19:41:22 i was looking at these 19:41:23 http://cristianci.deviantart.com/art/Submarine-110434465 19:41:33 http://andreewallin.deviantart.com/art/Submarine-79197554 19:41:34 checking 19:41:47 woahh thats futuristic 19:41:47 http://huihui1979.deviantart.com/art/China-s-submarine-119473648 19:41:52 something more futuristic maybe 19:41:53 yeh 19:41:55 i dont know 19:41:56 i liked those 19:42:05 elad661, yeh i kind of agree, it shouldnt take up quite so much screen space 19:42:14 i can scale it down and try that 19:42:19 we're sticking to jules verne right 19:42:22 #action mizmo to scale down sub in http://publictest04.fedoraproject.org/artboard/post/view/54 19:42:34 ixxvil, yeh but some of those are verne inspired i think 19:42:36 I'd love to see this wallpaper without the submarine as a suplemental wallpaper 19:43:05 mizmo: how do you want it drawn 19:43:15 ah this one is http://justinoaksford.deviantart.com/art/Nautilus-in-the-Antarctic-134788914 19:43:29 ixxvil, from the same angle as in http://publictest04.fedoraproject.org/artboard/post/view/54 19:43:37 so we're looking at the sub from the bottom of the ocean, we're looking up at it 19:43:42 but maybe more detail than i have right there 19:43:50 i have windows and ripples and that's about it 19:43:56 it might be nice for it to have more features - but i'm not sure what 19:44:02 maybe more propellers? 19:44:03 elad661, no submarine, no underwater travel, no verne link 19:44:15 twohot: that's why I said suplemental 19:44:17 yeah i could do that 19:44:19 ixxvil, i like the jet in this one http://andreewallin.deviantart.com/art/Submarine-79197554 19:44:24 twohot: not default 19:44:32 so maybe some jets?

19:45:13 ixxvil, i'll leave it up to you! i was thinking the oval shape is a bit plain, just looking for more excitement 19:45:23 that was an omission elad661. Thanks for the pointer 19:45:25 ok 19:45:26 especially if we're scaling the sub down.... we want it to look different than a fish i think 19:45:33 it would be awesome if you could sketch something up for me ixxvil 19:45:35 as far as the scaling goes 19:45:40 i'd not make it any smaller if you ask me 19:45:43 cause if you do 19:45:45 everything in the artwork is layered so i can swap in different things 19:45:56 then its going to look like just another fish or some sea animal 19:46:06 mizmo: I want the source, please :) 19:46:09 as of now it looks perfect at that angle 19:46:11 well maybe if we do a drastically different shape, it won't look like a fish? 19:46:19 elad661, i can upload it now, one sec 19:46:22 yeah i can change the shape and add a bit more detail 19:46:25 thanks! 19:46:25 it's *.ora, it'll open in gimp but i use mypaint 19:46:33 mypaint is awesome 19:46:38 i'll work on it onight 19:46:40 and upload one 19:46:46 ixxvil, awesome!!!! 19:46:51 there's another thing though 19:46:53 the third wallpaper... is nautilus with jellyfish 19:47:07 the angle at which the sub is sitting at is exactly 90 degrees up 19:47:10 but i dont know if anyone is actively working on it for coloring right now 19:48:05 ixxvil, we can change that slightly if it'd help 19:48:08 so anything drawn like the one we have right now is going to look weird 19:48:13 we;d have to tilt it a bit atleast 19:48:23 i mentioned this to tat and haks originally 19:48:33 yeah 19:48:39 ixxvil, let's do it, if you think tilting it slightly would make it better go for it in your sketch 19:48:41 maybe tilt it a bit 19:48:59 elad661, it's ~32mb, uploading now 19:49:04 besides this topic 19:49:09 we just have open floor 19:49:10 ok 19:49:13 so i'll go ahead and move to open floor 19:49:19 but we can talk about whatever, we can keep talking art 19:49:21 anyone will be doing th jellyifsh one? tat said she's going to work on it right 19:49:22 #topic open floor 19:49:26 oh ok 19:49:33 mizmo: please email me the link when your'e done 19:49:44 well, I have something for open floor 19:49:56 gnokii mentioned a unicorn creator erailer 19:50:05 and said he wants a panda creator 19:50:13 I want to implement one in HTML5 19:50:14 elad661: that was fun 19:50:25 I'd need some artwork for this 19:51:05 elad661, these are Emichan's pandas http://emichan.fedorapeople.org/pandas/ 19:51:10 i think the SVG has all the parts 19:51:17 mizmo: thanks! 19:51:40 elad661, they're designed to be modular, so they should work out for a creator app 19:52:12 another thing, is it possible to have the team meeting a bit sooner next time? 19:52:15 elad661, http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/art/f16/iceberg6.ora (i uploaded this URL to the artboard image itself as well, in the 'source' field) 19:52:30 i'm okay with moving it an hour earlier 19:52:38 but maybe we better bring it up on the list and see when people can meet 19:52:42 ok 19:52:49 * twohot wonders what a .ora file is 19:52:55 we can use http://whenisgood.net/ 19:52:56 #action discuss moving meeting time an hour back on mailing list 19:53:16 twohot, it's "Open RAster" format... it's used by MyPaint and Gimp can open it too 19:53:19 it's just a layered bitmap format 19:53:33 ok 19:53:34 elad661, do you have time to create a whenisgood.net link now and send to the list? 19:53:45 sorry, I don't 19:53:49 it's all good 19:53:59 it's really late here, see you all later! 19:54:01 bye 19:54:13 mizmo, your call 19:54:25 mizmo: when you're done i'd like some help with the ticketing stuff, thanks 19:56:25 http://whenisgood.net/fedoradesignteam 19:57:28 thanks as always mo ...when I grow up I'll be like you :D 19:58:19 lol 19:58:29 okay it looks like we're finished then 19:58:32 so i'm going to end the meeting 19:58:35 any last thoughts? 19:58:38 3.... 19:58:40 2..... 19:58:42 1...... 19:58:44 BLASTOFF 19:58:45 #endmeeting
