20:10:17 <sijis> this is for tutorial ideas.
20:10:43 <sijis> #info websites goal this release is to redesign fp.o
20:11:40 <sijis> the last couple of days has been interesting in trying to beautify fedoracommunity.org
20:12:04 <sijis> working with design, they have severa mockups, but this one seems to likely winner.

20:12:33 <sijis> the big change with this website build is that i'm trying to use the 960 grid system
20:12:57 <sijis> you can follow my progress
20:13:01 <sijis> #link http://sijis.fedorapeople.org/mockup/fedoracommunity.org/
20:13:39 <sijis> initially we tried 960fluid, but it wasn't working quite right, so i switch it to 960 regular
20:13:52 <sijis> if there is anyone that has experience with 960, please let me know.
20:15:05 <sijis> so, i posted a question to the list regarding meeting time.
20:15:21 <sijis> i've only received 4 responses, so far.

20:15:40 * sijis whohoo!
20:16:10 <sijis> right now, the time is looking like 19:00 UTC, wed-fri
20:16:28 <sijis> i think that's 2PM CT
20:16:39 <ardchoille> That 960 grid system sounds nice, but it's going to take a bit of getting used to as I have been writing html code in a text editor for years
20:17:02 <sijis> ardchoille: actually its a lot simpler
20:17:19 <ardchoille> It's just a matter of un-learning and re-learning
20:17:24 <sijis> ardchoille: i initially thought learning this would be tough.. if you know how to add to 12 or 16.. its easy
20:17:34 <ardchoille> ah
20:18:01 <sijis> in essence all the columns need to add up to 12 or 16 (depending on which grid system you choose)
20:19:16 <sijis> this linked http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/prototyping-with-the-grid-960-css-framework/, cleared it up for me quite a bit
20:19:29 <sijis> (its from their website)
20:19:41 <sijis> #link http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/prototyping-with-the-grid-960-css-framework/
20:20:05 <ardchoille> Bookmarked it, will look more after the meeting
20:20:16 <sijis> i'm going to send a reminder to the ml about meeting time and hopefully we get more responses.
20:20:32 <sijis> i'll post results on Sunday
20:20:41 <ardchoille> Hey, that's a much better page than what I saw the last time this was mentioned.
20:21:05 <sijis> ardchoille: which one?
20:21:11 <ardchoille> This page has code, demo and mockup
20:21:17 <ardchoille> the one you just linked
20:21:30 <ardchoille> it's better than the one someone linked not too long ago
20:21:36 <sijis> yeah, i think it was updated recently. i agree. last time i looked at it, it didn't have this much detail to it
20:21:43 <ardchoille> Ah, could be
20:21:59 <ardchoille> Well, this doesn't seem too difficult now with all the new infop
20:22:47 <sijis> yeah, i can help you understand this, after the meeting
20:24:27 <sijis> that's all i got
20:25:12 <ardchoille> I Just wanted to say that I'm now a member of the design team.. so I am available to help with things of that nature.
20:25:26 <sijis> btw, i apologize for 2 thigns... 1. no meeting reminder set 2. i haven't followed up on the web-tasks assigned to us
20:26:01 <sijis> ardchoille: yeah, that's awsome. i posted a link to your tutorial ideas post on designteam list
20:26:35 <sijis> we work closely with design for mockups, images and such
20:26:58 <sijis> i'm personally not acitve on the ml, but i glance through it once in a while.
20:27:11 <ardchoille> I'm having fun on the Websites and Design team. Lots of folks with lots of energy and plenty for me to learn :)
20:27:25 <sijis> they are also in #fedora-design if anyone wants to join them too
20:27:55 <ardchoille> Have you mentioned yet about the possible change in our meeting schedule?
20:28:18 <sijis> yup.
20:28:21 <ardchoille> sijis: I just had a thought. I don't know how to do it, but I know it can be done. Perhaps someone can design a calendar for our meetings that we can import into evolution?
20:28:53 <ardchoille> I remember importing a calendar like that into evolution when I was running another distro
20:29:04 <sijis> yeah, i'm sure it possible.
20:29:25 <ardchoille> That would give folks another type of reminder if you don't have time to send one
20:29:41 <sijis> there is one for the webtasks http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-14/f-14-web.ics
20:29:48 <sijis> other ones are here: http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-14/
20:29:53 <ardchoille> ah, yeah, .ics.. that was it
20:30:32 <sijis> i've never looked at it but i'll dig into it and see what can be done
20:30:54 <ardchoille> I can send a note to the ml, maybe someone knows how to create one
20:32:25 <sijis> yeah, good thinking
