Is the meeting at 11am PT or 1pm PT? 19:08:44 finalzone: it's whatever now is 19:08:46 finalzone: it's right now 19:08:52 we can try sparkleshare and see how much we like it 19:09:01 does everyone know how to set it up? 19:09:04 i have to set it up all over again :-p 19:09:13 * ianweller just looked at the README for sparkleshare and lol'd 19:09:18 Q: Why is it written in Mono/C#? 19:09:19 A: Because I hate freedom. 19:09:22 heh 19:09:22 i didn't play with it yet due to.. mono 19:09:42 iirc the main reason hylke wrote itin mono was so it could be ported to os x more easily 19:09:47 he is not really a programmer, he is a designer 19:09:58 and while he uses linux, i think he has to work with other designers who use os x 19:10:03 which i totally sympathize with 19:10:27 mizmo: what's the easiest way to set it up on fedora? 19:10:37 there's a koper for it 19:10:40 one sec and ill grab the url 19:10:44 thanks 19:10:59 not yummable? 19:11:05 http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/alexh/sparkleshare/ 19:11:13 it is yummable, you just have to add the sparkleshare repo 19:11:32 most things on repos.fppl.o are for packages that haven't gotten reviewed yet 19:11:48 hi there . is there any file http://fedoraproject.org/static/images/f13launch.png like this for fedora14? 19:12:01 so we using/testing it may move the package into the main repo? 19:12:11 hi MostafaDaneshvar, we're in a meeting right now 19:12:15 nicubunu: yep i think so 19:12:50 mizmo: wait. does sparkleshare need a central server? 19:12:55 ianweller: just needs a git repo 19:13:03 * MostafaDaneshvar sorry for interruption so 19:13:24 mizmo: oh so it's an abstraction of git? frickin' sweet 19:13:32 short answer for MostafaDaneshvar: the website layout changed, that image is not used any more, so we don't have something at the exact size 19:13:42 ianweller: yep it's basically 'dropbox' but open source and implemented on top of git 19:13:45 it freaking rules 19:14:07 so... something that is open source, implemented on top of something already in fedora infrastructure, and works? 19:14:11 we have a winnar 19:14:25 :) 19:14:43 #info we'll trial sparkleshare for organizing the Fedora 15 artwork 19:14:47 #link http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/alexh/sparkleshare/ 19:14:59 #info sparkleshare is yum-installable using alexh's repo 19:15:16 do we need some config? documented on a wiki page? 19:15:16 hi peeps 19:15:22 hi fabsh 19:15:26 it does not appear he has packages built for F14 yet in that repo? 19:15:49 that's odd 19:15:50 sorry. ran home as fast as I could 19:15:53 ill have to talk to him 19:15:57 it's all good fabsh you haven't missed much so far 19:16:02 :) 19:16:20 we just talked about trying out sparkleshare as a team for the F15 artwork 19:16:25 and the meeting time 19:16:31 i'll send out an email about the meeting time to the list 19:17:21 ah cool 19:17:30 i love sparkleshare 19:17:35 seems to work well 19:18:11 okay so the next topic 19:18:18 #topic FUDcon tshirts - EMEA, Tempe, Panama 19:18:24 nicubunu: you had brought this topic up 19:18:29 Schendje: you're running the bounty for the Tempe shirt 19:18:35 how are we doing here? i'm not as updated on it 19:18:40 yes 19:18:45 is Daniel here, btw? 19:18:51 i don't think so 19:18:55 yeah, we have a concept: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-November/003608.html 19:19:00 yep 19:19:02 where is emea? 19:19:10 #link http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-November/003608.html <= concept for FUDcon Tempe design 19:19:16 and there is the Panama poster: https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/167 19:19:19 fabsh: EMEA -- Europe / Middle East / Africa 19:19:33 so wherever that region's fudcon si next 19:19:33 is me or they are both awfully close to the 2008 designs? 19:19:39 ianweller: yeah, i know. where's the meeting? :D 19:19:46 oh. :) 19:19:47 * ianweller sucsk 19:19:51 nah 19:20:00 chances were good i suck ;) 19:20:10 fabsh: is too early, we don't know 19:20:14 ok 19:20:22 anyway, Daniel used the flag of arizona 19:20:25 but there are a few issues 19:20:30 first of all, it's a flag 19:20:33 which may not be a good idea 19:20:35 ick! 19:20:38 i think it's too many colors to print 19:20:46 but is not a country flag 19:20:50 and it also uses red and yellow, so we'd have 2 extra colors which is a lot 19:21:09 flags to signify *where* something is are... ok... but yeah too many colors 19:21:13 we limit ourselves to max 4 colors? 19:21:31 i didn't recognize the arizona flag either. even in the US, there's so many states we don't normally recognize other states' flags 19:21:37 some US state flags are pretty controversial too 19:21:40 well i assumed as little as colors as possible? 19:21:43 nicubunu: ideally, 2- colors 19:21:47 2-3 colors 19:21:52 depending on the shirt color 19:22:02 black please :) 19:22:10 FUDCon logo is 3-color if it's a light background, and uhh 19:22:13 always black 19:22:27 yeh, the only case we can do 2-color is on a blue shirt 19:22:35 2-color on any dark background 19:22:40 according to what i have 19:22:49 well 19:22:55 2 color on any dark background is actually 4+ colors 19:23:02 on a black shirt they screen white under colors 19:23:08 so they sohw up, they double-screen white 19:23:11 but that's okay 19:23:25 it's just that, if we have blue, dark blue, white, red, and yellow on a black shirt that may cost as much as 10 screens for one side alone... 19:23:26 heh. never knew that 19:23:28 forgot about underpringing. 19:23:28 $$$ 19:23:36 and i really need to fire my typist 19:23:53 so I think maybe the best way to move forward with the Tempe t-shirt design 19:23:59 ianweller: interns get a typist? :D 19:24:12 is talk to Daniel and ask him if he could brainstorm a few concepts - only rough sketches, no formal artowrk - and run them by the team before doing another iteration 19:24:16 does that make sense? 19:24:20 +1 19:24:29 +1 19:24:30 +1 19:24:40 Schendje: can you talk to Daniel about that? 19:24:44 mizmo: sure :) 19:24:46 and maybe invite him to our next team meeting for interactive critique? 19:24:47 fabsh: ahah that'd be sweet. ;) 19:24:50 sweet you rock Schendje 19:24:55 ianweller: ;) 19:25:43 mizmo: yeah i wish he'd show up on IRC 19:25:49 mizmo: but i'll send a mail on the list first 19:26:18 kk 19:26:27 so let's take a look at the Panama poster now 19:26:40 #link https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/167 <= FUDcon panama poster 19:27:01 that one was closed and accepted recently 19:27:14 holy crap that is amazing work 19:27:19 nice 19:27:28 i would have left the flag out 19:27:29 there is one issue though, it's using Modata for a lot of the text 19:27:32 it's okay though 19:27:38 but other than that amazing! :) 19:27:46 the south american countries tend to use their flags a lot 19:27:56 i mean it doesnt fit colour wise 19:28:00 i dont think there are many if any boundary disputes in SA, so i usually let their usage of flags go 19:28:17 the red in the flag is the only thing not fedora coloured 19:28:26 well there's a red hat logo too 19:28:32 although maybe the sponsor logos should be greyscale 19:28:35 but its okay 19:28:38 these are just small nits, this is an amazing design 19:28:39 i think they are ok 19:28:47 they are visually separated if you know what i mean 19:28:56 the rest ROCKS :D 19:29:04 tatica offered a lot of guidance 19:29:14 tatica is a good mentor :) 19:29:24 we should invite xhaksx to our meetings 19:29:30 yeah 19:29:41 they seem to be good with the ole inkscape 19:29:47 i think i added him to the design team in the accounts system with tatica last week 19:30:05 #action mizmo to invite xhaksx to our meetings, cc tatica 19:30:21 is it okay if the tempe and panama fudcons have different designs? 19:30:28 i think it's okay if we have willing artists to work on 'em 19:30:40 hopefully that is only the poster 19:30:48 #action Schendje to email Daniel feedback on FUDcon Tempe design 19:30:58 nicubunu: do you think that design would be okay for the shirt too? 19:31:02 or no? 19:31:17 i think is too close to what we used in 2008 19:31:25 i want something new :) 19:31:41 * ianweller tends to agree with nicubunu 19:31:54 that doesn't bother me as much 19:31:58 i love that radiating fedora logo 19:32:01 since in SA they didn't have that design in 2008 19:32:01 that's ace 19:33:18 i'll ask him if he wants to do a t-shirt design too 19:33:26 and maybe suggest a version without the radials 19:33:57 okay 19:34:02 how about FUDcon EMEA? 19:34:05 do we know what city in EMEA it's going to be in? 19:34:24 apparently not 19:34:28 no, we won't know it any time soon 19:34:49 fabsh: that was ace - http://fedorapeople.org/groups/designteam/Fedora%20Collateral/T-Shirts/FUDcon%20Shirts/FUDcon%20Boston%202008/fudcon-boston-2008-1_artwork.png 19:34:50 ah okay 19:35:09 i believe zurich was know in may or such 19:35:15 nicubunu: yeah, very cool. don't like the yellow much though :) 19:35:26 maybe he could do something with clouds 19:35:42 but if we reuse the tempe concept, as i would like, the design is ready in a few days 19:35:47 make a design with a camel, the chinese great wall and the eiffel tower and big ben for good measure.... ;) 19:35:58 does anyone have other ideas for the tempe concept? 19:36:31 heh. i didn't even know that town existed. hard to do without knowing anything about the region 19:36:38 i dont know if using arizona as a desert is bad, i can ask robyn 19:36:46 but one idea i had, was a desert scene, with a fedora oasis 19:36:54 nice :) 19:36:54 i have to admit i'm not exactly an expert on arizona, no :) 19:37:13 I remember a green garden in Arizona desert 19:37:41 the fedora 'f' kind of looks like a squiggily cactus lol 19:38:12 they have mountains calles "superstition mountains" - that rocks 19:38:19 *called 19:38:45 hehe 19:38:48 mizmo: maybe a desert would be good anyway since it's the first semi-warm place we've had a winter fudcon ;) 19:39:09 all right 19:39:16 anything else on fudcon design topics? 19:39:40 not that i know of 19:39:45 k 19:40:04 i'm going to really quickly run through what i've done on the anaconda redesign so far (not much) then we can take the rest to talk about the Fedora RPG 19:40:09 #topic Anaconda UX redesign 19:40:23 so I set up a wiki page a while back, and went through all the user feedback on fedora-devel mailing list - 19:40:34 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/UX_Redesign 19:40:48 I did a Fedora 14 Live Media install and documented the entire experience, today i've been uploading the screenshots I took 19:40:59 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/F14_Live_Media_Install 19:41:22 I got a test machine today to try out the DVD installation process so I can document that as well (might be useful to contrast the experience) 19:41:28 and i might try some other install methods as well that we offer 19:41:34 once those are all documented 19:41:49 I want to do a writeup of the differences between the methods, maybe in a chart or table form 19:41:53 mizmo: one thing i noticed on that page.... 19:41:58 and I also want to do a writeup of all the usability issues encountered 19:42:00 sup fabsh 19:42:06 the thing about the scary partitioning warnings.... 19:42:18 aren't those *supposed* to be scary? :) 19:43:23 i mean, you are potentially blowing your system away 19:43:31 well 19:43:35 in some cases :) 19:43:36 just a thought... 19:43:38 if you're just installing a virt machine on a virtual hard drive 19:43:45 it really isn't anywhere near as gloom and doom 19:43:55 we could probably detect that? 19:44:01 yeh we should 19:44:05 i know we don't today 19:44:10 but if a n00b gets there and he don't know what he is doing.... 19:44:22 nicubunu: he/she should be scared! ;) 19:44:34 but it shouldn't just be scaring people with no justification 19:44:37 it should be informing too 19:44:38 dont partition your system if you dont know what you're doing ;) 19:44:41 fabsh: where is this on the wiki? can't find it 19:44:45 mizmo: good point 19:44:52 fabsh: "ux redesign" page? 19:45:09 it should ask questions in human language though like 19:45:19 Schendje: yeah. under Storage screens 19:45:20 oh, yeah I would like to work on that UX redesign, already started with initial screen but that wiki is what I am looking for 19:45:22 ( * ) I don't care about what's on my hard drive, go ahead and blow it all away. 19:45:29 ( ) There's important information on my hard drive I need to preserve. 19:45:42 finalzone: cool let's work together on it! 19:45:57 no, ( ) i know what i am doing, shut the hell up 19:46:08 mizmo: that sounds sensible, yes. just also be clear when we are deleting stuff. maybe a final notice 19:46:14 finalzone: what would be really helpful at this stage is to run through the installer and make note of any issues / confusions you see 19:46:19 nicubunu: +1 :D 19:46:26 nicubunu: see, i'm usually in that category. however, for f14 i had to resintall AFTER i already configured everything just so 19:46:30 because i used LVM 19:46:38 and found out later, LVM is bad to use on SSDs, it slwos them down 19:46:45 it was very annoying to have to reinstall again to fix it 19:46:48 is it? 19:46:51 shit 19:46:59 why didnt anyone tell me that? 19:47:01 crap 19:47:01 yeh you basically lose the benefit of SSD speed with LVM 19:47:06 mizmo, cool. I have saved some screenshot during installation 19:47:06 damn 19:47:13 great 19:47:24 now i have to reinstall..... thanks mizmo! ;) 19:47:30 fabsh: it's not going to eat or hurt your SSD though, it just affects speed 19:47:46 i want speed! that's what i got an ssd for! ;) 19:47:46 i would love it if anaconda included a "i know what i am doing, shut the hell up" option ;) 19:47:52 just to point out htough, sometimes you know what you're doing, but you don't 19:47:58 yes 19:48:02 mizmo: as i just proved 19:48:03 how do you know you know what you're doing? 19:48:06 true. :) 19:48:08 that's the same as having an "advanced" option 19:48:13 which doesn't seem like a good idea to me 19:48:51 maybe we should just use the konami code? :D 19:48:56 fabsh: probably, yes 19:50:12 i think having basic vs advanced is bad. having basic automatically happen with an advanced 'opt-out' is a bit better. 19:50:21 we did the former with the anaconda storage redesign and i kind of regret it 19:50:47 okay 19:50:50 so time for RPG talk 19:50:50 opt out sounds good to me, just a simple toggle 19:50:52 #topic Fedora RPG 19:51:06 so Dave and Pierros mentioned this Mozilla badges thing 19:51:14 that sounds so cool :) 19:51:16 Jared also mentioned to me we could have physical metal badges printed out for folks 19:51:27 wow 19:51:32 that sounds amazing 19:51:36 #link https://wiki.mozilla.org/Drumbeat/Badges <= Mozilla badge system 19:52:14 so i've been super busy but i'm going to have more time to work on the RPG starting this week 19:52:20 Emichan put together some awesome pands too 19:52:24 * mizmo looks them up 19:52:43 lol. i can see we cant avoid the pandas :) 19:52:45 #link http://emichan.fedorapeople.org/bedtime-panda.png 19:53:04 #link http://emichan.fedorapeople.org/panda.svg 19:53:15 i think we need to start a wiki page to start organizing this project 19:53:21 ill go ahead and add it 19:53:24 yeah +1 19:53:26 #action mizmo to create fedora rpg wiki page 19:53:58 i think nicu made a panda too 19:54:08 the first step which we haven't done yet, is the little widget mockup 19:54:30 what do we want that to look like? 19:54:35 not sure 19:54:51 we should all try to sketch out some ideas 19:54:54 does the whole panda need to fit on that or only a head? 19:55:04 not sure 19:55:10 i can try to give it a shot 19:55:27 cant promise anything though, my rehearsals are keeping me busy atm 19:56:33 cool 19:56:40 i will try too 19:56:53 #action mizmo & fabsh will try to sketch some mockups for RPG widget 19:57:01 anyone else have ideas on the RPG to bring up? 19:57:12 #action mizmo needs to get back with the openhatch folks and schedule that meeting already :) 19:57:24 i blocked my intention of trying a widget by a lack of panda to like 19:57:30 aww 19:57:39 i only wanted to reaffirm that we dont particularly brand it as "the fedora rpg" 19:57:48 yep 19:57:56 our instance will be the fedora rpg, but the entire system should have neutral branding 19:58:12 if we can get other people involved, it will be a great way to get them to contribute to fedora too 19:58:34 finalzone: great comments on the anaconda review already, thanks :) 19:58:46 well we're just hitting 20:00 UTC now 19:58:49 #topic openfloor 19:58:54 no problem, mizmo 19:58:56 anyone have anything at all to bring up now is the time :) 19:59:20 just one thing 19:59:34 sure sup 19:59:38 mizmo: you asked me about how i got my bamboo working some time back 19:59:44 http://sixgun.org/fab/blog/2010/wacom-bamboo-update-f14 19:59:48 ohhhh sweet 19:59:52 this is updated for f14 too 19:59:56 #link http://sixgun.org/fab/blog/2010/wacom-bamboo-update-f14 fedora bamboo howto 20:00:09 should be pretty straightforward 20:00:18 that's awesome fabsh, thanks! 20:00:26 i'm sure this will help a whole bunch of folks 20:00:28 if i could do it, anyone can. just sounds scary with the kernel modprobing :) 20:00:33 mizmo: np :) 20:01:09 cool i guess we are good then 20:01:11 thanks everyone :) 20:01:15 #endmeeting
