Subject: XFCE artwork update.

Just a quick update here. We have been dealt yet another blow on the
artwork front. Izo, who was working with us on design direction and
imagery has got a paid gig that will require a great bit of his time.
Nothing new for our little project here. ;) I wish him no ill.
Everyone's gotta pay the bills. He was kind enough to provide me with
the sources of the stuff he was working on. I hope to turn it into
something.

I am also still working with Simon Steinbeiss (from the shimmer
project) on the theme. You can track it's progress here:
https://github.com/shimmerproject/Ubuntu-Studio

As far as the UI technical go (mostly to do with the
ubuntustudio-settings pkg) Lionel Le Folgoc (mrpouit) from Xubuntu has
agreed to look my XFCE changes over.

Re: Social Media Team

2011-05-10 Thread louiethecuban
What I like to do for my clients is to first build the foundation for our 
strategy, and that foundation is based upon the age group of who we are trying 
to attract. 

I'm going to safely assume that we will mainly be targeting males between the 
ages of 18 and 35. Among these people, I'm also assuming that those who use 
ubuntu (and ubuntu studio or other distros) are tech saavy.  Furthermore, our 
audience does not have a set location they can be from anywhere in the world 
(which is actually quite an advantage for us).

Now that we have an audience specified, we should select what kind of social 
media websites would be best for not only attracting users of US but also other 
linux enthusiasts/musicians and potentially new users.

The two services that immediately come to mind are facebook and twitter, but 
I'd also be open to incorporating soundcloud or vimeo into our strategy to 
showcase the work done with ubuntu studio. 

Ultimately it depends on how many people are dedicated to joining this team. If 
we had 10 people, we could allocate responsibilities so not just one person is 
doing all of the work. Ideally what we should do in this case is make a master 
username/email and password for our social media sites, allowing us to sign 
into any service and make small changes, updates, posts, etc. We could also 
have someone dedicated to promoting ubuntu studio to blogs and other tech sites.

Let me know if you'd be interested in joining a social media for ubuntu studio, 
I think it would be fun building an audience!

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

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

Subject: Re: Ubuntu Studio 11.10 UI discussion. GNOME3, Unity, XFCE and Studio

The reason I bring this up is perhaps there is someone on puredyne's
team that would like to assist in developing Ubuntu Studio, since they
base their system on XFCE and Ubuntu, and will likely not want to do the
same work twice, anyway.

They might have a different set of requirments for their release, but
still, it would make sense to try build some bridges.

I can take the initiative to such a contact, anyhow. I subscribe to
their mail list and am connected to their irc channel. Not much
activity, but it's worth a shot, I think.
Especially since puredyne is a great distro for audio.

Avant Window Navigator (AWN) can do this. It is quite customizable,
has decent implementations of applets, works great, and is stable.
It's what I set up for my mom on her 10.10 machine.

Subject: Re: Ubuntu Studio 11.10 UI discussion. GNOME3, Unity, XFCE and Studio
users workflow.

The french website about producing music with Linux distribution,
LinuxMao, suggest and explain how to configure Xfce instead of Gnome
for Ubuntu and Ubuntu Studio. In France, most of multimedia producers
(pro, hobbyists) use Xfce as main desktop. And a lot of specialized
multimedia distributions for live performance and installations use
Xfce, like Puredyne. It's light and work great in production, even for
long sessions and/or with important loads.

As I always said about UI design for Ubuntu Studio (I used to be one
of the first contributors), the main focus should be on a simple,
light and efficient desktop, in order to not spend to much time on
that point.Then, the most important should be to focus on applications
choice and packaging, and the possibility to use it to produce without
tweaking (simple and fast instal). But I know that for a lot of people
it is quite important to propose a beautiful desktop. Xfce allow both,
without yoo much effects, imho.

So, it seems like averybody on the mailing is ok for the switch to
Xfce, let's stop chatting and let's start to work on that point, to
get ready as soon as possible.

For the dock, why not simply use the simple and very good "Docky"?? It
has all we need and is one of the most easy for a day to day use.
Chatting with Docky team would be great to know if they could add some
docklets like "Menu", a better network manager, etc...

I would finish this answer with a question : for the beta, Ubuntu
proposed a live dvd for testing and install. Why don't we provide that
?? If necessary, I can post the question on an other email.

I have created ads professionally, so I could do this.

However, I do not have a lot of spare time these days. What sort of

Before we ditch gnome, let's see what we can do with it first. For instance 
have we ever though of bundling rocket dock, or another desktop mod as the 
default theme?

 That's essentially what I did with my windows system, I took out the task bar 
using rocket dock and I only have a docklet on the buttom of my screen.

It maximizes space, and it just makes the screen easy to look at. Let's not be

Subject: Ubuntu Studio 11.10 UI discussion. GNOME3, Unity, XFCE and Studio
users workflow.

Hello folks. For folks who don't know me I'm Cory Kontros.
(launchpad.net/~coryisatm) Former lead on Ubuntu Studio.

I took a needed break for a bit but have now volunteered to help
handle Ubuntu Studio's UI layout for the future. (with Scott's
blessing)


So lets kick things off. Here's how I see things.

There's alot of flux going on in computer UI design. GNOME, Canonical
(w/Unity) and Google (w/Android) all look to be shifting to this
"single app focus" kinda design. Where visually, you don't see much
going on but the currently focused app. KDE and OSX are currently the
most traditional.

I don't see this fitting for Studio users workflows.

So, in looking at our options (considering most of our apps are GTK)
XFCE seems like the best move. I know there are other WM options to
consider but they all feel weaker in comparison to the XFCE option.

Xubuntu has done some great work lately. Without seeing it I proposed
to Scott some options that can very close to what they currently do.
Xubuntu does: 1 panel across the top and AWN as a launcher on the
bottom. (http://imagebin.org/146291) I propose simply using Avant
Window Navigator.
(http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/6728/screenshotoof.png) It
currently can handle 90% of what a panel can do. But that 10% is
important. Namely the absence of a network manager app. I've seen some
in the past but nothing current.

A bit radical but its something I hope to prove works nicely with testing.


Now please feel free to discuss whatever. This is by no means a done
deal but it is currently the direction agreed upon at the last -dev
meeting.

Even if you don't do art but design, surely you have something
(anything at all?) to show for it. It's called a portfolio
or CV, whichever you prefer. It is where you tell about and/or
show stuff you did so that people know what you're capable of,
or at least so that they know what your added value is.

When you are asked for examples of previous work, you can start
quarreling and implying that people are ignorant before you've
even started on the job. But I imagine the people you're arguing
with aren't going to be overly thrilled about the prospect of
working with you.

If, on top of that, they have no idea what quality of work
they'll be able to expect from you, don't be surprised if they
don't want you for this job.

Best,
Marc

No one has volunteered to develop the site in Drupal and followed through at
this point.  We did have one person who began work in Word Press before we
found out it was verboten.

But I would hazard that anyone qualified with some semblance of competence
and an idea would be a good beginning.

I don't think we have too many restrictions on the site itself.  As
mentioned, Drupal should be used.  Also, I don't think anyone on the team
has a vision for the web site at this point, so probably a willingness to
work up an example and submit it for review would be a good quality as well.

The Ubuntu Studio website will most likely need to remain Drupal.

The website is hosted by servers provided by Canonical.  It is my
understanding that Canonical requires Drupal due to security considerations.
