Re: US website theme RFC request for screenshots
Howdy, Although this is still very much work in progress, I thought I would put the new website in it's current state on a staging URL so that you guys can play with it: http://www.myhaiku.org There is still quite a bit left to wrap up the theme, so I will continue to work on my local copy as it is much faster. Feel free to use the staging site online and provide feedback on this thread, but please do not expect changes to it right away; instead, I will upload updated iterations of the site periodically so that you can see the progress. Long story short, this is still very much work in progress, so be nice. ;) Enjoy! Jorge On Sun, May 1, 2011 at 4:49 AM, C K coryis...@gmail.com wrote: On Sun, May 1, 2011 at 4:04 AM, Jorge G.

Re: US website theme RFC request for screenshots
looks great jorge. On a more unrelated note is there anyone on us's team dedicated to social media? I work as a social media consultant at webconnection (a small web development firm in baltimore), and would be willing to do some complementary social media work for ubuntu. I think it will be very helpful, especially with the launching of the new site.

A few questions. On the logo text, are you using the ubuntu font or our SVG logo? Reason I ask is because the kerning is different between the two, Its tighter on the SVG. Also, the tagline under the logo is not our official Let Your Creativity Fly or ... damn there was another. :P Anyway, a new tagline is totally up for discussion. :) Good on you man. :) -- -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

They can eventually be replaced with whatever is decided to be the official logo and/or tagline for the next release (just FYI, the current logo is a combination of the US graphic signature -- which tbh I don't remember where I got from -- with text using the Ubuntu font; the text is not an image, so the kerning may not be exact and I suppose it may even render differently depending on the browser/resolution/etc.; eventually, we will have to use an image for the logo).

On a first walkthrough I found that I wanted to navigate the homepage's info carousel by clicking on the images below the text held in the unordered list with id=flowtabs. To a certain extent this section of the page feels like an accordion interaction, so when I couldn't click on the images I had to find out *how* to interact with it - ie. click the text. In the grand scheme of things, not to big, just something that *feels* like it should be interactive. Text looks awesome! I like the line spacing, and the subtle grey border below the h2 tags. There is only one thing I might play with in regards to text, and that is the post's meta content. The way it is currently looks beautiful, but the content isn't as *scan-able* By that I mean that when I scroll down the page the individual post titles (h2) stand out, but the content of the post doesn't stand out from the meta - ie. author, post date, etc... In terms of a solution - Hmmm... the quick thing would be to make the meta smaller. Another possible solution would be to not have it on the home page, or to have a limited amount showing, when the viewer clicks through to the single post they would get more details. I'm not as thrilled with that solution, but it could work. Anyway, keep up the good work! - Benjamin -- 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
Social Media Team
Hi friends, My name is Luis Queral and I'm a 20 year old social-media consultant at Webconnection http://webconnection.com, a baltimore-based web design/development firm. I'm curious as to if Ubuntu Studio currently has a social-media strategy, and if not, how we could plan and initiate one. I have a fairly good idea of a marketing concept for us (as an open-source team), and really think it would benefit Ubuntu Studio especially with the new web-site redesign. Also, if you would be interested (assuming there isn't a specific set of social-media goals), please feel free to respond with your input and ideas. -Luis -- 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
