Has the meeting begun? 19:10:18 hi finalzone! 19:10:23 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F15_Artwork/Schedule 19:10:29 hi finalzone we're talking about f15 wallpaper 19:10:39 ok 19:10:42 so during the last meeting someone brought up the idea of diong a sketching session 19:10:55 arranging a date and time and just start brainstorming and sketching and bouncing ideas around 19:10:59 which i think sounds cool 19:11:23 who here would like to join in? 19:11:32 me! me ooo me! 19:11:43 i thought we could send a mail to the list asking the team members 19:11:48 that depends on the time of day ane day of the week 19:12:00 we can use whenisgood 19:12:02 and as nicubunu pointed out we should (micro)blog the hell out of it and get others in as well 19:12:12 Emichan: yeah i think that's a good idea probably 19:12:12 we should use the pool to find an optimal date and time 19:12:30 and it doesn't have to be one session of course, we can have multiple 19:12:32 Emichan +1 19:12:39 i doubt we'll decide on a wallpaper in one meeting ;) 19:13:21 unless someone choose to do wallpaper slideshow 19:13:29 we need to find the metaphor 19:13:36 i think for this codename it'll be a challenge to come up with a concept that's not insipid or cliche 19:14:16 i love challenges ;) 19:14:19 :P 19:14:23 we can make fun of ourselves and an ironic, over the top concept 19:14:30 nicubunu: lol i love that 19:14:33 hearts and locks everywhere! 19:14:43 blue is out, bring in the pink! 19:14:46 making abstract concept maybe? 19:14:46 Emichan: saw mizmo's idea about continents? 19:15:02 Emichan: it's in here somewhere: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-design/2010-11-16/fedora-design.2010-11-16-19.02.log.html 19:15:24 ok so does that sound like a good idea to everyone? 19:15:38 schedule a session to start with, and invite others to join in? 19:15:57 i can send it a mail to the list to kick it off 19:16:03 nicubunu: I saw it - it's interesting, but i'd personally like to explore and see what more we can come up with :) 19:16:13 sure 19:16:32 the deadline seems so faaaaar away... 19:16:41 it does, doesn't it? 19:16:55 after that it's quite a bit faster i think 19:17:02 alpha wallpapers feb 1 19:17:15 beta wallpapers a month after, march 15 19:17:26 ok so 19:17:33 yeah, that's not a lot of time once we've got a concept, so the earlier we can decide on a concept the better! 19:18:10 #info We'll schedule a time and date for a brainstorm/sketching session to come up with some awesome wallpaper concepts 19:18:25 we need someone breaking the ice and putting concepts on the wiki 19:18:30 #info And invite people from the community to join in 19:18:38 nicubunu: we can do that afterwards, right? 19:18:42 just start with putting sketches up 19:18:43 just to challenge the others 19:18:51 once we have a few 19:19:05 has anyone heard what is going to be drawing the desktop background in gnome 3? i think they're removing that functionality from nautilus. 19:19:29 Emichan: errr i have no idea tbh :) 19:19:36 gnome 3 scares me as hell, too much change 19:19:49 really? 19:19:52 it's gonna be a shock for sure :) 19:19:55 probably a good shock though 19:20:06 i think i will continue to use the panel 19:20:15 if they're using something else to draw the desktop bg, we may have more/better? options for the kinds of bg we can do 19:20:23 Emichan: how do you mean? 19:20:52 the desktop in just an image... i think it will affect icons and such 19:21:04 just speculation - maybe animations - i have no idea, just think it's something we should look into 19:21:36 i don't think we want a background image moving continuously 19:22:11 if there's new technical possibilities though it could be fun to explore 19:22:17 like we did the slideshow wallpaper this time 19:22:31 which... didn't fit in because of the size i think, but still 19:22:40 we had slideshows in the past 19:22:52 exactly, it may just give us some possibilities to explore 19:23:08 ok 19:23:12 shall we move on to the next topic? 19:23:21 btw, here's the nautilus mailing list where they're talking about dropping the desktop support http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2010-September/msg00008.html 19:23:21 * finalzone nods 19:23:32 then will someone ping the desktop people asking about what changes to expect? 19:23:36 oh, thanks Emichan 19:23:57 #link http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2010-September/msg00008.html -> nautilus mailing list talking about dropping the desktop support 19:24:24 Emichan: do you think you could find out more, or will it be some time before that's clearer? 19:25:18 I'm only tangentially following this stuff - I could send a message to the nautilus ml 19:25:23 i read it... is only about icons and files stored on the desktop 19:25:57 hmm ok 19:26:17 * finalzone mini-rants: missed gdmsetup. Oversimplify can kill user experience. -end mini-rants 19:26:20 nicubunu: but that also may mean losing the wallpaper handling from nautilus as well 19:26:39 finalzone +1 19:26:47 i think this is something we should talk to the desktop people about 19:27:18 if they do what is said in that mailing list and disable storing files on the desktop... i am absolutely going to Xfce instead 19:28:03 ok i think we're drifting offtopic now ;) 19:28:08 let's move on to the next oen 19:28:13 one, sorry 19:28:22 #topic FUDCon Tempe T-shirt 19:28:29 so, Daniel was working on this 19:29:02 but he couldn't find the time to continue http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-November/003665.html 19:29:23 so i think it's best if we just open this up to anyone willing on the mailing list? 19:29:32 i know the fudcon team has been waiting for a while now 19:29:40 and i'd like to speed it up a little 19:29:40 do we not have time to reopen it as a bounty? 19:29:54 Emichan: well i'm not sure... 19:29:55 it could be done 19:30:00 but still, it's kind of a huge task 19:30:30 which is why i'm not sure it should be a bounty in the first place? I mean, it's quite a bit more important and high profile than the other bounties we've had 19:31:07 of course it's great if we have someone new who can commit to it, but it does require a lot of time 19:31:08 i think the task was too much for a bounty targeted at a newcomer 19:31:18 although we already had a t-shirt before, just not for FUDCon 19:31:25 is not huge, but you need a lot of insight 19:31:39 nicubunu: i think we're also very critical because it's fudcon and all 19:31:45 it'll be worn by over a hundred people probably 19:31:46 we had the summer coding tshirt already 19:31:58 what's the deadline for the fudcon shirt? 19:32:15 hmm dunno, i'll look it up... 19:32:33 design team ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/163 19:32:44 fudcon-planning ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/70 19:33:16 hmm it doesn't really say 19:33:27 so we've got about another 3-4 weeks based on ticket 163 19:34:11 ah, yeah, you're right 19:35:13 hmm personally i think it'd take too long if we reopen it as a bounty 19:35:21 if we work on it with the team it'll be much faster 19:35:24 well, if we're not going to reopen the bounty, I can give it a shot 19:35:40 oh that'd be great! 19:35:45 just shoot something to the mailing list :) 19:35:50 Emichan +1, go for it 19:35:53 I'll go ahead and claim the ticket too :) 19:35:59 Emichan: awesome! 19:36:25 #info Emichan will claim the Tempe t-shirt ticket and give it a shot 19:36:42 I'll be gone all the rest of the week for thxgiving, but that'll just give me time to work on it - hopefully I'll have something by next weeks meeting. 19:36:53 Emichan: sounds good 19:37:18 i'll be around here and on the list so just let me know if you've got something 19:37:28 well those are the two topics i wanted to talk about 19:37:34 shall we have an open floor know? 19:37:42 there's also the thing about the meeting time 19:37:54 whether it should be pushed forward or not 19:38:31 most of the respones i've seen are just saying "Meh, it's fine" though :D 19:38:49 there were a few on the mailing list that said it may be better for them if it were pushed ahead an hour, i think? 19:39:02 I'm okay either way, so whatever is easiest for everyone else... 19:39:15 yeah me too 19:39:21 ok let's leave that open for now 19:39:35 #topic Open Floorrrrr 19:39:55 anything you guys still want to talk about? :) 19:40:22 i think it'll be good to work on the shirt with the team 19:40:25 speaking of gnome3 in f15, are we going to try to do a customized gnome-shell theme for f15? 19:40:27 me not 19:40:29 since it's pretty quiet right now 19:41:02 Emichan: good one 19:41:07 well... would the desktop team take a custom theme made by us as default? 19:41:09 gnome-shell theming is all done in css, so it shouldn't be too hard to put one together 19:41:09 so how is the theme in fedora different from the one in stock gnome? 19:41:28 does "regular" gnome also use clearlooks? 19:41:40 * Schendje has never tried out vanilla gnome 19:41:54 in the past they got the other way, rejecting all customization made by us 19:42:20 i think it may be good to customize a colors a bit, but leave it at that? 19:42:26 so what Emichan said about the css 19:42:37 that's easily done and can give a nice touch 19:42:42 will they go with a dark theme? 19:42:49 nicubunu: as the default, you mean? 19:42:56 i haven't seen a dark theme for gnome 3.0 yet... 19:42:57 i mean, the gnome upstream 19:43:03 only the default light one 19:43:18 huh? what i saw from gnome shell is dark 19:43:25 oh the shell is 19:43:34 but the theme isn't, i think? 19:44:14 http://gitorious.org/gnome-design/gnome-design/blobs/master/mockups/theming/widget-factory.png 19:44:17 the windows are dark gray = is a dark theme 19:44:18 i'm not sure what they're up to with that 19:44:41 i thought something about a theme landed in gnome-shell recently... 19:44:45 well there's the gnome-shell theme, then there's the mutter theme 19:44:49 the gnome-shell theme is dark 19:44:53 http://jimmac.musichall.cz/log/?p=1126 19:45:04 the mutter theme is light/med gray 19:45:22 jimmac may shed a light here 19:46:26 here's what the latest build of master gnome-shell looks like on my desktop: http://emichan.fedorapeople.org/Screenshot.png 19:46:41 oh cool 19:46:48 i should really try it out again... 19:47:03 very dark, pretty plain.. 19:47:08 kind of a blank slate :) 19:47:14 boring too 19:47:18 well we can at least give a Fedora theme a shot, right? :) 19:47:29 even if it's unofficial or anything 19:47:39 if desktop team won't accept it, can we package it ourselves as an alternative? 19:47:43 one that uses the fedora colors 19:47:53 I think we can 19:47:58 sure, we can even make it the default on our own spin 19:48:32 * finalzone uses nodoka theme rather than the default 19:48:42 finalzone: for gnome-shell? 19:48:59 no that's gtk right? 19:49:05 yes it is 19:49:17 I dont know if there is nodoka for gnome-shell 19:49:31 finalzone: you could make one :D 19:49:41 use Emichan's awesome refresh theme extension 19:49:44 well, nodoka is a gtk theme, right? 19:49:50 there will be a dark variant of the widget theme for 3.0 19:50:00 Emichan: yes 19:50:04 for fullscreen/media apps 19:50:06 thanks for the plug Schendje :) 19:50:15 Emichan: subtle huh? ;) 19:50:22 we could port it to shell toolkit i suppose :) 19:50:29 oh, cool jimmac 19:50:47 Schendje: where is refresh theme extension? 19:51:04 finalzone: I'll reupload it and post a link - give me a sec 19:54:38 #link http://emichan.fedorapeople.org/Theme_Reloader_GS_Ext.tar.bz2 -> Gnome shell theme reload extension 19:55:27 got it. Thanks Emichan 19:56:25 know how to install it? 19:56:36 no. how? 19:57:09 make sure gnome-shell is installed ;) and just extract it to ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions 19:57:20 you may need to restart the shell just to load the extension 19:58:46 after that you can just edit the theme file (/usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css if you installed it through the package manager) and hit the refresh theme link at the top :) 20:00:21 I heard gnome-shell from installer is oudated... 20:01:26 yeah what's the easiest way to get the latest in fedora? I assume the official one is outdated? 20:01:32 just build it would be easiest? 20:03:10 i'm using jhbuild 20:03:38 ok i'm gonna close the meeting now 20:03:41 #endmeeting
