 I think it would be best to have the meeting when, at minimum, both
 Sebastien and Daniel are available at the same time.

 So its best if you guys mention a good time when you can make it.
 and schedule the session accordingly.

 cheers,

although i do not upload anything a few days i'm aware of everything that
happens in the project and

although it took a few days without anything I'm aware of everything that
happens in the project and i'm biased to give new ideas

Re: [ubuntu-art] updated packages

 Kenneth,

 What do you think about setting the gtkbutton size to 16,16 in the gtk
 theme? It makes the buttons look more compact, which I'm sure users on a
 lower resolution (netbooks, laptops) would appreciate. The quality of the
 16px Human icons seem good enough for this use.

 Look here for a before/after comparison:

I have included this change in the latest package in my ppa (for jaunty and 
karmic). Let's test it out and see how it looks and feels.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Ubuntu art requests page?

 Hi
 It seems the activity on this thread has died.
 To move this project forward, I would like to setup the ArtRequests
 wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ArtRequests). If anyone wants to
 create the wiki page, I will be more than happy to pass the task on. I
 will suggest that we use the Gnome artrequests page as base for the
 layout, and add a #bug columns. Anyone got ideas for improvements?

I think that a prerequisite is to define the entire process very carefully and 
to have a base of commited people to help balance the load.

 How do we do this requests done via launchpad bugs? Are bugs tagged,
 like needs-artwork?

Essentially it would be creating a bug which is a wish. I like the idea of 
using a bug tracker because the infrastructure is already there: there is a 
status, explanations, attachments, people can subscribe, etc.

 Great idea to team up with the One hundred paper cuts project, but
 isn't it closed now for this cycle?

Right, this idea would be for the future.

  Ideas? Critic? Interested in working on this? Let us know!

 I think this ArtRequests wiki is working out fantastically for Gnome
 (Fedora also has something similar) and I think Ubuntu could benefit
 from a project like this.
 Like Kenneth said,  Ideas? Critic? Interested in working on this? Let us

Some of the bugs already accepted might fall into this project as well.

I like the idea of using tags more. I'm sure there must be quite a few
bugs out there that someone of this list could resolve, but you just
don't know how to find them. The key is to actually get others to use
the needs-artwork tag though. There only seems to be one bug using
the tag so far:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=needs-artwork

We should probably make an announcement to the bug-squad mailing list.

Perhaps we should see if we can make it an official tag.

http://blog.launchpad.net/cool-new-stuff/official-bug-tags

I don't have any idea who actually has the power to do such a thing though...

Tagging as such, does seem like a good idea. I'll discuss it with my LP 
colleagues.

[ubuntu-art] flickr group and wallpapers

2009-07-13 Thread Kenneth Wimer
Hi all,

The Flickr group is coming along very well. Naturally, we still want people to 
submit their contributions to the wiki, so don't let anything stop you!

Keep up the good work :)
