Just art-mydescription would do! Do you know if it is a scheduled improvement to Launchpad to have spec names changeable after creation ? The dependency means that must be finished before work can BEGIN on this one. ok, I misunderstood dependencies defined in this way -- they are probably less relevant to the artistic specs, unless there is an overriding technical issue towards implementation. I was thinking more in an Object Oriented way -- a spec is a subclass of another, and retains some or all of the properties of its parent... and as such, a parent spec cannot become completed until all of its sub-children are finished too.

[ubuntu-art] Launchpad updates
As you probably know by the bomb sitting in your mailbox, I have been slaving away at putting suggested features into Launchpad. I do apologise. Honest! It's not all finished though, so best to configure your spam box .-) The IRC meeting covered a great deal of things (see the logs), from Launchpad point of view, we'll be voting on some of the specifications. We'll then get rid of the rest, and start assigning tasks. Some comments on what is being implemented: a) Launchpad names are of the form ubuntu-art-mydescription Launchpad specs can be made dependent on other specs. Their descriptions are marked as follows: * TARGET will be a generalised target * All normal specifications should be a dependent on a particular TARGET. * UNIFIED will be a parent of many TARGET specs. Some of the mailing list suggestions want to unify various ideas into one. So, there is a need for unifying specifications. b) I've assigned people to their suggestions. This is simply to see at a glance who suggested what, and will be changed as soon as we sort things out c) we should mention somewhere on the wiki (in 2 weeks) about the various URLs relevant to the art team: - where the relevant specs are to the art team https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-art/+specs - how to add a spec (this wasn't very obvious to me until someone on #ubuntu-devel pointed it out to me) https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+addspec - Instructions on how to register yourself as a team member: Go here https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-art/+login Follow instructions to register Now go here https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-art/+join (The wiki has been frozen for restructuring, so I don't recommend we add this information yet.) I hope this isn't too complicated. When we get over the rush, Launchpad will become a lot more useful than it currently is...

[ubuntu-art] feature list / artistic ideas / re-orginisation review
hi I am fairly new to the list.. I've compiled a spreadsheet summarizing most of the artistic ideas, features, and re-orginisational woes that people have been having on the mailing list since the release of Draper. I've put it up here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTeam/Drafts Considering the recent spout on Win vs. *nix, I've saved it as a csv (the fields are separated with commas, and double quotes). The original is an OOo file, so if you want me to use that instead, I will post it. I hope this document can be used as a scratchpad, and ideas can be thrown out or padded out at the meeting in Paris. I've covered roughly 330 message threads, and come out with 60 separate ideas. That's not very good, and I'm hoping most of it can be thrown out. I apologise in advance if I have accredited an idea of any of yours to someone else, this was not my intention. I also apologise if I have misrepresented what any of you have said -- each description has a link to the relevant thread on the messageboards, so the correct context can be interpreted. Please change what I have written to suit your original thoughts on the matter. I would also like to comment on what I have read, for the benefit of those artists who have joined recently, and are a little confused at the mailing list chaos. Please correct me if I am wrong: although Draper is a big leap forwards in graphics compared to Breezy, there seems to have been a great deal of organisational problems at the end of the last development cycle. Hence, Launchpad (https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-art/) and the Wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/) were implemented to try and mitigate this problem. I have my reservations about having two unfinished organisational systems in place, but they both have a role: launchpad will allegedly deal with the hierarchy of the artwork team (and to make the previous hierarchy of team-members jealous); whereas the wiki is intended to create a focus for direction in the artwork contributions (and create more legwork for existing team members). I hope this clarifies things, and the Paris summit can be a successful organisational front for the upcoming release cycle.

Re: [ubuntu-art] RFC: Ubuntu 6.06 Improvement Review
On Fri, 2006-06-09 at 22:51 +0200, Frank Schoep wrote: On the current splash screen the Ubuntu logo is shown in a tangerine color which doesn't match any of the official colors. That is bad. Good thing is that only one or two colors are used to prevent aliasing because of the 13 color limit. Branding the logo using all colors won't succeed with usplash, especially not considering the proposed delayed fade concept which needs a gradual gradient of colors from back- to foreground. The splash you talk about with all the colors in it was horrible by any standards (sorry if I just offended someone). There was more wrong with it than the correct branding could make up for. Minimalistic, which I created in an attempt to demo a textless boot, takes all points I wrote down in consideration, even including the color gradient palette for fading text items. I fail to see where it is inconsistent with my review document. I have not seen the minimalistic nor the colourful usplash versions, but I think having # colours of a 16 colour palette reserved for fading seems a little expensive. Afterall, at some point we will want to include a Grub splash screen (at least I will), which similarly has a 16 colour palette limit.. without any animation. We would also want this screen to fit with the usplash screen, which follows directly after. Can we not use blinking instead of fading? regards - Niel Drummond -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
