Re: We've fallen, but we can get back up.
I'm not mad at all. :) I'm all for continuing what we do. My point was that if little things like real life have hit the project as hard as I feel they have, the project needs to make changes that include realistic goals for what we can actually do. I feel the last few releases, if we're honest with ourselves, have been sub-par. Now, I will take full responsibility for my neglect of things the last 5 weeks or so. Shit got real here. (meaning I had alot of family stuff happen) I'm trying to get time this weekend but its gonna be hard. I'm sorry. I still do feel that my basic ideas in the 1st email are the way to go. There's just too much that we have to take care of integration-wise that takes our time and makes us unnecessarily responsible for tons of bugs. That said, my time here is limited. Not permanent and I will always bow to what Scott and the team want. It's just that eternal struggle of finding people to get it done. If we can't, we need to pull it together, change, or gracefully bow out. -- -Cory K.

A *real* new direction/beginning.
Over the past couple of weeks I've thought hard about my input and how it influences Ubuntu Studio currently. The biggest thing I wanted to see happen is a completely new direction but I think that since I was the major driving force behind the past releases that most people now will go along with what I say. (even if I'm not directly in charge anymore) I don't want to have that kind of influence anymore. I feel I can't if Studio is to truly have a new beginning/direction/whatever. That said, I will add the SVG to the logo page I threw up a week or so ago and take myself of this mailing list. I will however stay on the LP team in case something comes up that needs my direct help. @ Scott. I will always be around to support you and answer any direct questions you may have. I'm always connected to Freenode and you got my email address. :) Peace. -Cory K. -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

For those of you who might not know my name is Cory. I'm former lead/creator of Ubuntu Studio. I've also coordinated various Ubuntu art projects through this list. That said, some steps were taken a while ago to let people know that this list was for *community* art efforts and had little impact on the published looked of Ubuntu.

Putting the cart before the horse. (was: Final Notes on the Ubuntu Studio Website)
What *needs* to be settled 1st before *anything* should be put together is: Audience - Who we're talking to. It's a major first step from which everything is built. If Scott hasn't already done it, he should start a wiki page outlining our audiance and new direction. Aesthetic/stylistic guidelines can be developed from there. This needs to be managed by him as he's the current lead. Also, doing anything for 10.10 should be abandoned. It's just too late in the cycle and rushing things now will show in the final product. A good concerted effort for Natty is best IMO. -Cory K. -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

Hello guys. In recent months, my life has been up and down. Mostly due to monetary issues and how that tends to complicate other things. Well, as of December 23rd, I am once again without a job through no fault of my own. I am facing so many things and no matter how I try it's become too much to handle along with my various computer-related commitments. So I must make the totally crappy decision and resign from everything Ubuntu-related for the foreseeable future. Effective immediately. I will be unsubscribing from all lists and will not hang in IRC but will stay on the LP team for now. (i dont want anyone to go through any trouble if I need BZR access to upload anything you guys might need) As I am unemployed I will be available to hand over anything I need to but I think everything is moved to the teams control anyway.

I have LOVED my time on this project more than I can express in a manly way. :) This isn't goodbye forever but it is goodbye for now.

[ubuntu-art] GIMP for Painters (instructions inside)
gimp-for-painters (http://sourceforge.jp/projects/gimp-painter/releases) is a patch that adds two more tools that help in making images that feel more like using a paint brush. Here's another link about it. (http://www.gimpstuff.org/content/show.php/2nd+test+with+gimp+painter?content=101868) It's actually pretty easy to apply the .diff to the ubuntu package. In a terminal and with your source repos open it should be something like: Code: sudo apt-get install cdbs -y sudo apt-get build-dep gimp -y apt-get source gimp wget http://iij.dl.sourceforge.jp/gimp-painter/41325/gimp-painter--20090715.diff -P ~/gimp-2.6.7/debian/patches cd gimp-2.6.7 debuild binary cd sudo dpkg -i gimp-data_2.6.7-1ubuntu1_all.deb gimp_2.6.7-1ubuntu1_i386.deb (you only need the resulting gimp and gimp-data packages) The above command should then give 2 new tools in your toolbox. (will look like another paintbrush and ink tool) This is all best used with a pressure tablet. These instructions also work for Karmic and Lucid but can be applied to earlier versions like gimp-2.6.6 and such. Also remember to pin gimp and gimp-data in Synaptic if you don't want an update to overwrite your version. I would imagine that the GIMP devs are looking at a sane way to integrate this.

The more and more I think about this I think it is our next big step. At the project's inception, we strived to stay a part of the Ubuntu community. Use the same forums, wiki and resources. But, I think this might have cost us building our own community. I propose we part with some of the resources we currently use and host our own. Website, wiki, whatever. I wanna brainstorm about this. Throw it all out there.

It'd be great if this effort could be moved into the Ubuntu Studio development process so that future releases have live capabilities.

The reasoning for us not creating a live disk is 2-fold. * Live disks do not preform well for audio.

Here's a page to use as a start. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/BreatheIconSet/UbuntuStudio I'm not looking for a full set. Just enough to switch out Breathe's orange usage. I do somewhat like Saleel's submission but it needs some tweeks. Feel free to add other ideas. -Cory K. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

[Breathe] Developments and moving on.
So, long time without an update. Sebastien and I have had alot of life stuff to deal with. This has been the largest reason for the slow pace. I still have alot happening but things are at a place where I can manage. Sebastien sadly needs to bow out for a bit. He has said he will add an icon or two where he can. We have however managed to start the base mime work and I will upload shortly. I will be shaping up the wiki and calling for new icons. All general submissions will be welcome but I will be looking at specific areas to fill gaps and will have that list. On the subject of panel icons, I've been waiting on the spec and code to become final. If anyone has info on this it is welcome. Sorry for the delay but I'm sure folks also dealing with the crazy times can empathize. We will shortly return to our regularly scheduled program. ;) -Cory K. -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

If I recall correctly it had to do with it being a GTK1 app ans support was dropped for gtk1 from main. (or something like that) As well as the project seeming dead and unmaintained in Debian. So they dropped it 'round Dapper. But as Cinepaint now uses GTK2 I don't see an issue. GetDeb even has a package for it atm.

Re: Replace Creox with Rakarrack?
On 11/22/2009 04:19 PM, Scott Lavender wrote: I would like to suggest we replace Creox effects processor with Rakarrack for Lucid. Creox [1] does not appear to be updated or maintained as the version (0.2.2rc2) that is currently in Ubuntu Studio [2] (and Debian [3]) was released in 2003. Rakarrack [4], in contrast, released three new versions last year [5] and even has a developers blog [6] that shows activity for this year. Although Rakarrack isn't currently in the Ubuntu repositories, Debian shows packaging for Rakarrack for both Sid and Squeeze [6] so hopefully we can sync easily enough. Dave Phillips even reviewed it in one of his Linux Journal articles [7]. The next prudent steps would be to mail the Ubuntu Studio users mail list, post at Ubuntu Forums and even mail to developer to ask if updates can be expected.

If there are PPA packages available sooner, then I think we need to try tem, so we can start getting our splash together. I will be happy to help with any themeing stuff needed at the code level, however plimouth has a lot of plugins to do various things, as well as a scripting language to help do stuff, so we may have it easier this time then we did for usplash.

Actually it wasn't that much work: Since the colors are all relative to the theme base colors, I basically just tweaked those, with the exception of the shading of several UI elements. Having the window title design the same as in the Ubuntu Studio theme would be better though, with the circles instead of the squared buttons with the icons. I don't personally like the circles: Especially there is no different color for maximize / minimize / close. (I could use the OS X colors for that). And the color of the decoration itself Everyone is free to do what they like. :) A note though, the bright theme that will come with Lucid will be a compliment to the standard dark theme and will follow the design direction once that is worked out. -Cory K. -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

The idea of having rotating 7am UTC / 7pm UTC times is that no time will suit everyone and hopefully at least one of those will suit most people. I'm happy to revisit this schedule, but I think we should keep it on a pre-defined schedule for purposes of publicity and easy organization.

ScottL, maybe you could review the minutes as soon as possible and chime in on IRC, or also add your info to an e-mail just prior to the meeting.

A distro that is *not* a desktop distro. So I propose we support/ship no client by default. Let the user apt-get whatever they like. Please chime in on this so we can act quickly. (as I'm sure we're totally up against a freeze or something) IF there's still time, I'd support shipping Karmic without a messenger. The only downside is that we conduct much of the Ubuntu Studio work on IRC and shipping without any IRC client might send a slight anti-participatory signal to users (just a slight one). As Studio is and has been from it's inception meant to be used on purpose-built, stand-alone systems I just don't feel it fits default. I do feel though that if we do ship a messenger, there's no reason to stray from the default Ubuntu client (empathy in this case). We stray *heavily* from Ubuntu anymore. Generally, I don't think that should be used as an excuse. I also very strongly feel that Empathy is a step down from Pidgin feature-wise. So I say we axe a messenger for now. See if there's a backlash of any significance and look at this question again in Lucid in needed. I agree with Cory, Empathy is not mature enough compared to Pidgin. Even further, if we are deciding which IM app to ship by default, it really does make sense to start wondering why shippin an IM client at all. Studio setups dont need an IM, even worse... the pop notifications and audio signals (they are turned on by default) break the artists concentration. To me this is rather a no brainer. We dont ship a networkmanager installed by default, why would we ship things that rely on it?Studio isnt meant to be an internet distro, its meant for creating things. Put it on the dvd, but not installed. simple IMHO. I forgot about networkmanager. doh! having that in mind.. it is a no-brainer indeed. Settled.

I first looked at the three pages Eric mentioned on the Oct 12 meeting agenda https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Meetings/2009Oct12 . On Friday I updated the applications page on the wiki, there are still a few little things to complete. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Applications To also complete the update of the application lists on the wiki I will also be addressing these pages in the near future: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Audio https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Audio https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Video https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/Notation I'm not fluent in all these apps but I can get update the applications listed and in some cases give the page _some_ text. Others will need to update them also. During the weekend I also looked at the Installation and GettingStarted pages that Eric mentioned. Obviously, the installation page need some work but I felt that we should probably address installing the current and LTS versions of Ubuntu Studio and also upgrading from the current and the LTS version of Ubuntu only. No point in telling people how to install/upgrade Feisty. Just my two cents. As I read the GettingStarted page I felt like this was a microcosm for the entire wiki. By this I mean it's focus is diffused and lacked overall structure. Yes, the page in a logical order, but the information about adding the -rt kernel should probably be on a upgrade from Ubuntu page. Defining JACK and how to set it up should like wise be addressed on it's own pertinent and dedicated page. What this probably means is that the wiki pages would benefit from some restructuring. Over this weekend I spent time mind mapping the wiki and hopefully by next weekend I will have mockups available on the wiki. Which leads me to my next question: Does anyone object to me making temporary new pages? For the time being it would be duplicate information (parsed out from existing pages and condensed) with some additional text/structure. We would need to be able to delete some of those pages at a later date and I don't know who has rights. If I don't get any responses to the a new wiki structure and temporary duplicate pages I will take silence as acceptance. This has been needed for some time and I welcome your effort.

It gets boring( in a few milliseconds) but there is the horizon, so you fallow that. You have a look at the icons, what are quite nice. You finish, but you still can observe at the clouds and the tray, what has a decent colour. Have a look at the second picture: First you see the welcoming colours and lines. You focus on the middle of this miracle(a bit down, in the middle) and observe it. Its nice. You have a look next to the icons in the bottom, make you feel there are many functions, and possibilities, and you stop at the smiling face. Welcoming. Precise, safe. Have a look at the stars( freedom, space) and go to the right side of the screen with your eye. than the right top and left side. Nice. The first one had a lot more impression so far. Lets observe the third one. Nice welcoming warm colours, you stop at the middle line. Observe it a bit. Nice, smooth lines.. As there is nothing at the bottom your focus goes up to the upper right corner. Bob. Red button, punctuated icons, no structure. You go on the tray to the right side, a big empty space, than an unpleasant question mark.. blue.. how this came here? A too simple envelope.. and firefox. Firefox.. like that. Fox and fire, and a bit blue, earth etc. Than the signs, too narrow, too close, but i like the Ubuntu sign. Forgettable. Dont get me wrong. I love Ubuntu. I really do. I want to make it better, and in these days marketing is one of the most important thing everywhere. We cannot afford adverts, so we have to use other tools. We cannot afford a 20 person big team for design, so we have to do it ourselves. Than do it nice! If its big, lets make it Huge! (If its a goose, make it fat :) Hungarian byword). My opinion is that we should redesign Karmic Koala, and from now on make Ubuntu a lot prettier. Compiz made a lot for Ubuntu's reputation. Why not using it? Wobbling windows, special effects, turned on by default, if we have a working 3d accel. Why not? We coul even do a startup script what would show a 3d cube and slowly zoom on to on of the desktops. Would be amazing. Generally, I agree with your post (welcome btw) but as we (being this list) having no control over the default art, it will be a little hard for us to: redesign Karmic Koala, and from now on make Ubuntu a lot prettier.

Now while the color consistency is striking, overwhelmingly, people I showed them to felt they were bland. The liked the strength of the base set, but felt that the consistency saw better with Daniel's edits. So, we need to achieve some sort of balance. Here's where the folks on the list chime in. Keep it informative and please no unhelpful I like 'em!s. I'm thinking we can script Daniel's edits to raise the saturation a bit. But that also effects the plate layers. Something I'm not keen on, but, seems no way around it. Unless things can be applied to specific layers? Sound nuts? Ok. Since nobody has chimed in Daniel, Sebastian and I will have to move on our own. Sebastian - Can you chime in on what you do and don't like? It's alot so I know it can be hard. Should we just up the saturation across all the edits? Then remove icons we don't like? -Cory K. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
Re: [ubuntu-art] [Breathe] Daniel's edits review
I have had a massive harddrive failure today (physical issue, not just bad data) and will take me a day to rebuild. I will read over this and give more detail by Thursday. Sorry for the delay. Sometimes real-life gets in the way. We'll go at it hard again soon. Daniel, I would like Sebastien to chime in as to what he likes and doesn't. Without getting into too much detail, the overall saturation level of the set is a bit low. Maybe I can script raising levels across the set? -Cory K. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

He has made a good handful of themes, has an understanding of the GNOME desktop and how things work together. Can work w/BZR. Has a nice temperament and doesn't kick puppies. :P I had him subscribe to the list and join the IRC channel.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Designing Ubuntu on a non-free software
Mat Tomaszewski wrote: Hi, Quite recently some community members pointed out that the design team's submissions have been created using proprietary software, like Flash or Photoshop. I have a feeling that this is something that needs to be addressed, as we're all trying to actively support free and open software with our work. It is very true that we do use proprietary software (Flash and Photoshop in particular) as well as free software (Inkscape rocks!) in our daily work. This is largely due to the fact that most of us come from the commercial design background and developed certain habits and workflows – changing these requires time, and time is one of the things we really miss :) Our primary goal is to make Ubuntu better. But that also means contributing to the whole array of software that comes with Ubuntu, including design apps. What we need is a critical mass of goodness, which will help people like us (!) switch!

Just wanted to give everyone a little heads-up. Sebastien and I have each had some personal things to deal with over the past two weeks so it has made things slow up a bit on Breathe. Rest assured, we still have a plan. ;) We will be having a color review of the set with help from Daniel and the work he has done. There is some question as to the saturation levels he's used but that I'm sure will be worked out. After that, Sebastien has the base mime in the works so hopefully that will spurn some development of more filetypes. There still needs to be discussion as to the overall design direction for the files. ie: Should the design be the same throughout or mix it up and make it funky? I think we still need someone to round up a good lot of examples to look at. Volunteers? So for now, I think the 0.50 release will be the one that makes Karmic. It's pretty solid (though i'm not sold on computer really) and bug-free. Any word on this Andrew? Is it through REVU?

Thanx to all who have congratulated up on the 0.50 release. Continue to enjoy and tell folks about the set. :) So, this email is, or might be a mixed up jumble of thoughts. Let's see what happens. ;) From here Sebastien and I have been thinking on how to proceed. We have both agreed that the pace of icon creation and acceptance has been a bit hurried and we think stylistic consistency has been a bit compromised. So, with that in mind we will be freezing Breathe from new icons (with the exception of the base mime) for an undetermined amount of time. Really as long as it takes to review and revise what we currently have. The major part of the review will be palette and style consistency. As well as thematic strength. (basically how well does the icon communicate what it's use is?) Daniel has done some very nice work on pulling the palette in line but Sebastien and I share some saturation concerns. Independent reviews outside of Ubuntu are have expressed similar concerns. I will be putting up a package with Daniel's edits for testing this weekend. This review will be a dead honest one. Very few icons will be safe. None of it will be personal. We just need to take a hard look at what we have before we move on. The conclusion of this review (meaning debate and subsequent work) will be our next release. Ok. Next. I'm looking for a wiki maintainer.

[ubuntu-art] [Breathe] Merge trunk and packaging branches?
This is mostly a question for AndrewSB. I'm wondering if there's any reason why a BZR branch set up for Debian packaging couldn't be considered an upstream? (as this is a native package and we do it in Studio) If there is nothing glaring, I'm inclined to merge the two to reduce some of the redundancy.

None of the other files will be installed to the binary or end up on the user's system. In fact, having that stuff in the source package is probably a good thing as it would contain the complete one-canvas source SVGs. We could even add render_bitmap.py to the build process so that the package it truly built from source. We should do go ahead and do this after the release... As of now, the render_bitmap.py /has/ to be run manually. Ted Gould would like figure out how to whole thing could be on xvfb, so it'd run on a buildd. That will come later. So yeah.
