Sincerely, TJS Good one Troy. That's relevant in a number of ways right now. To me it really underscores the silly processes MS is going through with Vista and the main reason it's not out yet. How could lawyers and legal advice be needed or even helpful for a few simple notes? And to think, all the drama in those posts is over a startup sound that the people haven't heard yet! Makes you glad to have a sbdfl and AIC to make decisions in a matter of moments that a mega corporation takes weeks or months debating. And of course it also brings to light the reason that Bug #1 is so fixable/attainable. Despite Vista being postponed time and time again they still can't seem to speed up certain aspects of their development process. -- Chuck Huber [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
[ubuntu-art] Proposal : Ubuntu-Art forum.
An Ubuntu-Art forum. This is a text based on an idea I had when I joined ubuntu-art. I modified it a month later, so that I wouldn't tell any lies :) The general idea is an artwork forum, replacing launchpad, the wiki and the Mailing List. It explains the difficulties for beginners and tries to solve those problems. Enjoy :) a ) Current State. - Register to launchpad. - subscribe to the mailing list. - Join the irc channel. - Register to the wiki. This causes a lot of work to stay updated. You'll have to check your mail, the wiki and launcpad. Eventually even join the irc channel. b) Future State. ( With the forum ) - subscribe to the forum. - Eventually subscribe to threads / forum sections. - Join the irc channel. A forum is easier to join and to stay up-to-date. c) Goods. - Forums are more structured. - Its easier to join, attracts more new artists. - Easier to stay updated. - No more refering to wiki's anymore, just post the image. - Easier to post and find guides. - Discussions and feedback will be easier to track - Only one site to check. - Proposals, mockups are easier to publish. d) Bads. The risk of spam, flaming, .. But that is also possible in the mailing list. Feel free to add some :) e) Forum Layout. Support : Questions about program functions can be found here. Bugs : Current bugs in the artwork can be posted here. Produce : Icons, wallpapers, *DMs, usplash', ... The real produce phase runs here. Howto's and guides : User posted guides about making art or using programs,.. Incoming : Members post mockups, others revise it. Maybe even realise it. Projects : New programs or projects can be introduced here. Calendar : The ubuntu-art Calendar. Artwork Cafe: A place where artists can chill out after a hard day of work. f) Goal The goal of this idea is really simple, attract more artists to join ubuntu-art. And let them work more structured. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] Proposal : Ubuntu-Art forum.
This is a really good idea. Forums have many advantages over a mailing list, I'd vote for this anytime.Btw, I'm back and with a new computer. :)/weidel2006/9/3, Walter Tizzano [EMAIL PROTECTED]:A very good idea ;-)) Mailing list is very unstructured 2006/9/3, PingunZ [EMAIL PROTECTED] : An Ubuntu-Art forum.

[ubuntu-art] [REQUEST] Produce DEADLINE
Please note the schedule archived here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/EdgyArtworkPlan/ This has been the schedule since the beginning of the cycle, and we must stick to it as the rest of the development team is in sync with those dates. September 7th is the final deadline for all artwork. It must be included at that date to provide for bug testing and such. Luckily, our limited number of specifications means that the quantity of bugs will be rather small -- other than the usual 'i hate it' bug. ;) I cannot stress enough that in order for this team to be taken seriously and credibly by Canonical, we _must_ step up and meet this deadline. If you would like to see _more_ accomplished next cycle, that will require us proving to Canonical that we can accomplish our tasks set out -- which were very manageable. Also bear in mind that ultimately, Ubuntu is quite different from the other distributions. We have a clear set of restrictions to operate within, and _all_ artwork changes must meet the sabdfl Test. Please look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/EdgyArtworkPlan/Produce/Incoming/ for the current crop of work. Much of the work there needs rounding out for completion and working GDM XML. It is a great opportunity to step in and match the style to round out a set if you have any time. Thank you all immensely, and once again, let's try to deliver on what we managed to get approved at the beginning.
