(remember when we tried a Greece landscape) 19:15:55 http://www.gottabemobile.com/wp-content/uploads/Nokia-Logo.jpg 19:15:56 oh those are actual photos of hands 19:16:02 i thought they were drawn? 19:16:05 guess not 19:16:29 nicubunu, well the metaphor is weird 19:16:33 Schendje: on older phones the hands look like drawn 19:16:40 yeah nicu's #2 also popped into my head, for the rest i like it 19:16:44 nicubunu: oh that must be it then :) 19:16:57 the land is representing reaching for love, but being locked so you can't reach it lol 19:17:03 #2 absolutely worries me 19:17:17 but, i think theresa lot more high-quality CC photography these days 19:17:33 and it's a bit more common a subject - land & water- it's not particular to greece 19:18:00 the problem then was the photomanip looked very fake 19:18:22 and if we go for realism we may end there again 19:18:35 maybe make the islands very abstract? 19:18:48 it could absolutely be abstract 19:19:02 maybe a watercolor style 19:19:33 it seems to relate well to lovelock nv, this is the area its in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Humboldt_River_Basin 19:19:41 there's a lot of lakes and islands 19:19:57 one thing though is the 'reaching for love but not getting it' is kind of a depressing topic 19:20:40 so what is depressing? 19:20:40 but maybe it could be spun to be hopeful 19:20:59 if youwant something but you can'tget it<= depressingi think 19:21:02 it may resonate with the geeks :D 19:21:05 * mizmo notes her keyboard is broken 19:21:12 hi! just made it home... 19:21:15 spacebar is very intermittent 19:21:21 hey fabsh wewerejust talkingabout the f15 artwork 19:21:26 nicubunu, lol very true 19:21:27 mizmo: it can also be a goodbye :( 19:21:29 ah cool 19:21:37 * Schendje start crying 19:21:39 what's happening? 19:21:43 lol 19:21:47 lol 19:21:55 not because of you, fabsh, haha :D 19:22:01 anything with nature isagood theme though bceause of the time-of-day color changes are more natural 19:22:18 fabsh, well i did this sketch for 'lovelock' http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/temp/lovelocked-land.png 19:22:29 fabsh, lovelock nevada is in a valley with a lot of lakes and islands 19:22:43 nice 19:22:45 so we have two bodies of land reaching out (for 'love') Across the water to each other 19:22:49 mypaint :) 19:22:54 but its a little depressing cuz they a locked and cannot reach 19:22:57 you got it :) 19:23:08 s/a/are 19:23:27 i'd love to have a go for a wallpaper this time... 19:23:42 do you have any ideas? 19:23:56 not yet. but I've started thinking about it.... 19:24:07 lovelock could definitely be something with a hug, or embrace 19:24:07 are we going for abstract again? 19:24:31 abstract is usually good but we could try something more illustrative maybe 19:24:37 Concepts submission deadline — Tue 18 January 2011, 18:00 UTC <= this is on the schedule martin proposed 19:24:47 ok, sounds cool 19:24:50 so there's a lot of time ( although it's all across holidays so it's a bit less time than it seems) 19:25:03 will give it a shot now that i have a bamboo and can play as well :) 19:25:39 okay awesome:) 19:25:45 maybe this timeweshould schedule some sketchingsessions 19:26:00 oh good idea! 19:26:00 people can gather in IRC while they work on their designs and give each other feedback 19:26:11 +1 on that 19:26:48 #info we'll schedule some sketching sessions for folks to work on their F15 concept sketches 19:26:53 that sounds great :) 19:27:14 #info abstract wallpapers are probably the easiest to use, but if theres a strong concept we can consider more illustrative ideas 19:27:16 fun! 19:27:18 okay a related topic 19:27:24 #topic F15 schedule 19:27:38 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F15_Artwork/Schedule 19:27:42 does anyone see any issues there? 19:28:24 i think we should approve it if there's not issues 19:28:36 i like how martin moved many of the key dates to tuesday so we can have discussion during our meetings 19:28:37 i have no objection 19:28:42 no issues 19:28:45 not me 19:28:47 kk yay 19:28:51 #info schedule approved 19:29:02 okay the next topic... 19:29:07 #topic FUDcon tempe shirt - how are we doing? 19:29:24 ok so 19:29:32 daniel, are you here btw? 19:29:36 actually from what i saw i like the most Schendje's modification 19:29:38 he submitted another mockup 19:29:45 wait, i'll get the link 19:30:19 http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-November/003645.html 19:30:26 #link http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-November/003645.html 19:30:33 (can i do commands?

what's a chair? :) 19:31:54 fabsh, it only means youcan give the meeting bot commands, sadly. you can throw chairs aronud whether ornot you are an official chair 19:31:58 fabsh: something you sit on =)) 19:31:59 * sijis thinks folks can do #link 19:32:08 nicubunu: funnyboy ;) 19:32:22 * fabsh throws a chair 19:32:26 don't sit on me! my nooossseee 19:32:33 ok sorry, i'm back 19:32:34 developers developers developers 19:32:36 guys, calm down! :O 19:32:38 :D 19:32:42 #link http://schendje.fedorapeople.org/temp/fudcontempe2%282%29.svg 19:32:46 is daniel's mockup 19:32:47 * mizmo hands fabsh some deodorant to avoid the ballmer pits 19:32:55 #link http://schendje.fedorapeople.org/temp/fudcontempe2.svg 19:32:56 lol :D 19:33:02 is my adaptation 19:33:24 i like the vista 19:33:26 the adaptation is visually stronger, but it's still 'stuff about arizona' 19:33:27 nice :) 19:33:29 Schendje: thats w/a black shirt, right? 19:33:31 #link http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/attachments/20101115/b26a6d6d/attachment-0001.png 19:33:33 sijis: yes 19:33:36 the fedora logoiskind of just floating there 19:33:52 that last one is clint savage's submission 19:33:58 mizmo: agreed 19:34:03 whay if the F logo is like the moon> 19:34:06 how about making the sun in Schendje's adaptation into the fedora bubble? 19:34:10 mizmo: i'm not sure what to do with that 19:34:14 because of the logo guidelines 19:34:20 we need space around it, can't adapt it of course, etc 19:34:23 did Daniel propose a concept statement anywhere? 19:34:33 mizmo: no 19:34:44 mizmo: no afraid not 19:34:46 i think having a concept in mind before mocking stuff up would make the submissions stronger 19:35:02 i kind of thought that was in the writeup for the task as well :-/ 19:35:03 Daniel is in the dark, waiting for a metaphor suggestion, i think 19:35:11 we gave him one i thought 19:35:22 i remember getting robyn's approval for one we came upwith during a meeting 19:35:27 yeah 19:35:29 the oasis? 19:35:40 yeh 19:35:41 how do you want to do that with the logo though? 19:35:53 ‣ Schendje will ask Daniel to brainstorm 2-3 concepts, no sketches or 19:35:53 only rough sketches if any, no formal artwork. 19:36:02 ‣ Ask Daniel to run concepts by the team before doing another iteration 19:36:15 oasis = source of life and hope in the middle of the desert = fedora 19:36:34 nicubunu: oh yeah i see how, but am worried about messing with the logo 19:37:05 so i think it would be good to ask daniel to submit text-only ideas before submitting another design 19:37:09 or is this putting too much work on him? 19:37:25 hmm 19:37:32 let's do the brainstorming together with him on list 19:37:56 nicubunu: that sounds good actually 19:37:58 the issue, conceptually, with the current mockup 19:38:10 is that it looks like a sunset, but we don't want fedora to sunset, cuz that kind of implies it's ending 19:38:28 the oasis idea i think has a bit more positive connotation 19:39:04 hmm i didn't look at it like that at all tbh 19:39:28 can't we have a nice and friendly drawing with the oasis, no fedora logo in it, just a place where friends meet? 19:39:41 the tricky thing about symbolism is that it's cultural and different people read different meanings 19:39:49 nicubunu: yes maybe it's better to just leave the logo out? 19:39:52 nicubunu+ 19:39:53 well 19:39:58 one complaint we've gotten about fudcon shirts though 19:40:04 is that they have the fudcon logo, but not the fedora logo 19:40:10 we will have the fudcon logo anyway, and the fedora logo on the back 19:40:14 and for some contributors, they are the only fedora-related t-shirts they have 19:40:15 well yeah but we can have it anywhere 19:40:22 doesn't have to be in the actual illustration 19:40:27 true 19:40:44 the zurich design has fudcon on the front and fedora on the back 19:42:06 okay so that's one idea, include the fudcon tempe logo, the fedora logo, and an oasis illustration separately 19:42:06 i was thinking we could do a silhouette maybe... 19:42:12 leave the cacti out because they're a bit too much 19:42:30 it would look a lot like the ubuntu uds shirts 19:42:30 i vaguely remember robyn specifically requesting no cacti i think 19:42:41 what do uds shirts look like 19:42:43 not that that's bad, just for info 19:42:48 * Schendje fetches link 19:43:16 for uds meerkat: http://design.canonical.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/shirt.png 19:43:17 hey msourada, we approved the f15 schedule, you did a great job with it 19:43:42 ah something like that but with the mountains, Schendje? 19:43:48 yes 19:43:49 mizmo: hi! Cool. Sorry I wasn't on the meeting, I just returned from aikido practice. 19:44:02 msourada, it's all good you left great notes to go by 19:44:29 could we do somtehing interesting with the shape in the back rather than a circle? 19:44:41 mizmo: possible, yes 19:44:48 darnit, i can't find the UDS Natty shirt 19:44:51 but it was similar 19:44:57 only with a narwhal tail silhouette 19:45:07 quite nice imo 19:45:29 i don't know the desert, does it have interestingly shaped clouds? or only clear sky? 19:45:50 what if we put silhouettes in the fudcon logomark 19:46:04 nicubunu, usually slim & very wide, low-hanging clouds 19:46:30 silhouettes of what? 19:47:46 maybe the mountains & a wolf? 19:48:08 nicubunu needs to watch more westerns :D 19:48:18 we are allowed to modify the fudcon logo like that? 19:48:40 * nicubunu is not a big fan of westerns 19:48:49 well 19:48:55 if its done well maybe we can :) 19:48:57 nicubunu: :( 19:49:02 but it has to look great 19:49:43 the fudcon logo is not as protected as the fedora logo in what we require of it 19:50:09 mizmo: yes i thought of that too 19:50:09 might be a good idea 19:50:09 how does everyone feel about the mountains? 19:50:09 it's obviously arizona 19:50:10 but maybe a bit of a cliche 19:50:11 they make sense as a "monument" kind of thing though 19:50:11 landmark, i mean 19:50:12 http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/9/2009/09/500x_21j3lmv.jpg chocobo! 19:50:15 sorry that i keep dropping out :( 19:50:15 can someone fpaste last minute for me? 19:50:27 as far as i'm concerned, as far as people are OK with the way it's being portrayed, it's not a huge problem 19:51:24 well nicubunu had the one point that it's nice to have a design that can be reused throughout the year 19:51:40 Schendje: http://fpaste.org/QOFH/ 19:51:49 thanks fabsh 19:51:54 so we can have the fudcon logo with silhouettes specific to the particular location? 19:53:00 that could work maybe 19:53:44 it's not a super strongconceptthough 19:53:52 or we can reuse only the style, not necessarily the design 19:53:53 it'slike, 'look atthe fudcon souvenir shop' 19:54:25 i think we should make an effort to produce more street-wearable t-shirts 19:54:33 +1 19:54:34 like threadless designs 19:55:01 a desert scene, just a pretty illustration, might be okay, but it can't look like clipart 19:55:09 am i being too picky? 19:55:19 nope 19:55:52 picky is good 19:58:07 damn it! 19:58:23 i forgot to do a sketch for the rpg badge... :/ 19:58:46 hmm this topic swallowed the meeting 19:58:52 mizmo: shall we move on? 19:58:53 lol 19:58:55 yeh 19:59:16 except 19:59:26 can someone commit to sending an email to Daniel on the list with what we discussed? 19:59:36 positive / uplifting / helpful is the tone we want :) 19:59:45 i could see how this could be quite discouraging for him and im worried 19:59:50 Schendje is his mentor on this task 20:00:01 nicubunu's right, i should do that :) 20:00:09 kk 20:00:17 mizmo: yeah we're being very picky ;) 20:00:28 but i mean 20:00:32 we want a nice t shirt 20:00:35 oh of course! 20:00:39 +1 20:00:42 it's the fudcon t-shirt 20:00:46 it *should* be very good 20:00:53 #topic install user experience 20:01:01 so this is what i've been mostly owrking on the past week 20:01:12 the main wiki is here https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/UX_Redesign 20:01:27 i started a convo with the installer guys on it on their mailing list, anaconda-devel https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2010-November/msg00130.html 20:01:36 * nicubunu won't go to tempe, so if the t-shirt is ugly, he will not have to wear it 20:01:45 nicubunu: lol :D 20:02:10 what i've been mostly doing 20:02:16 is asking the installer team *tons* of questions 20:02:17 and documenting them 20:02:29 i also did a few install run-throughs and documented those, with finalzone's help 20:02:33 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/UX_Redesign/Current_Install_Process_Analysis 20:02:41 i found out a few things talking to the installer guys 20:02:50 - we may be able to change the font in syslinux (and potentially grub) 20:03:02 yay! 20:03:12 there's a format we have to convert the fonts too, but i found a program that will run the conversion, and pjones on the installer team is willing to test fonts out for us 20:03:28 it's not going to be pretty -- i think syslinux is 640x480 blown up and stretched out on widescreen monitors 20:03:35 it'll be like this (one sec whilei get the URL) 20:03:44 that's not ugly, that's retro ;) 20:04:19 we need a new boot thingy 20:04:24 linux sucks 20:04:26 well this is opensuse's http://i624.photobucket.com/albums/tt321/Blue_Life/SUSE_LINUX-2.png 20:04:26 a new boot thingy? 20:04:26 uggh..... 20:04:28 ;) 20:04:45 yeah, you know...... thingy splash booty 20:04:56 this is ubuntu's http://static.howtoforge.com/images/usb_startup_disk_ubuntu_8.10/big/7b.png 20:05:00 Kurulumu? Oo 20:05:08 you can see, ubuntu switched the font out, to one that is more of a pixel-based font so it looks crisp & clean 20:05:28 ubuntu's is stylish. but their logo and font sucks... ;) 20:05:35 isn't that the old one? 20:05:50 it may be old, but it demonstrates switching out the font 20:05:58 yeah. the old logo sucked, now the font sucks... lol 20:06:27 can we have pandas on skateboards ala android? 20:06:28 i guess for a while they were carrying some unapproved-by-upstream patches to make that happen 20:06:34 but now upstream might be okay with it 20:07:13 well 20:07:33 when we're in syslinux we're in a degraded mode that only has access to 'truecolor' which is a very limited palette, and only 640x480 pixels 20:07:53 the main reason we need syslinux though, is to let people access diagnostic/troubleshooting tools when an install goes wrong 20:07:58 16 colour pandas? :P 20:08:00 so one of the proposals i put together, has a timeout 20:08:11 so if you dont hit anything on the keyboard you'll be skipped right past syslinux 20:08:13 let me grab the mockup 20:08:30 https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/8/8a/Installux-syslinux-prop1-interrupt-nointerrupt_animated.gif 20:09:15 so when that's done counting, where does it go? 20:09:18 then this is what it would look like if you interrupt https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/5/5e/Installux-syslinux-prop1-interrupt_animated.gif 20:09:31 Schendje, if you've got a live usb stick, it will go to plymouth. if you're in a dvd, it'll load anaconda 20:09:44 cool :) 20:09:55 i think it's a pretty good solution 20:10:27 unfortunately im not 100% sure syslinux will let us lay it out like that by default :( but the installer team is willing to try it 20:10:29 nice 20:10:34 looks fab 20:10:56 fabsh, lol coming from you thats a big compliment ;-) 20:11:00 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/UX_Redesign/Whiteboards i set up a whiteboard page on the wiki 20:11:04 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/UX_Redesign/Whiteboards <= whiteboards for anaconda 20:11:09 mizmo: :D 20:11:13 so if you have any ideas or mockups or sketches feel free to upload 'em there 20:11:36 okay it seems we've run over a bit 20:11:47 the other topic was the RPG 20:11:51 i haven't had any time to work on it 20:12:01 but im going to carve out thursday to put together some mockups 20:12:04 of the little widget 20:12:19 i'll try as well 20:12:25 totally forgot, sorry 20:12:36 been really busy with acting rehearsals and such lately 20:12:57 i think nobody worked on the game in the last week 20:13:20 i feel like this is the first week i've been able to get things done 20:13:34 i had one week where i was at multipledifferent conferences 20:15:23 ok, gotta run 20:15:35 i need to relax, my brain is falling apart 20:16:20 yeh 20:16:22 time to scoot 20:16:27 #endmeeting
